I downloaded mine. Her name is Embelilla. I have never tried pp'ing, so it will be an adventure. Thanks for posting yours. That will be a big help to me. She is a good looking Fairy Godmother (or an old broad like me. lol)

When DH is around I will have a pic of mine. After seeing quiltyfeelings, I didn't like the look of mine--Fusioria.
I learned:
1. do lay out your eye color- if your has pupils and iris. Mine was too dark so there was no contrast between them, making her have beady blackish eyes. And I didn't like the eye shadow idea.
2. I used two tones for the skin but only in two places, at the chin, and for the laugh lines. I found that the piecing gave the appearance of change without the color being different.
3. I didn't have enough contrast in her crown and hair for a distance. But I also didn't have Gold or Silver in my stash that looked like jewelry. I found a trim to give that .
Have fun with her. :)

I am a little intimidated by the amount of pieces in this project. I have just taken a beginning PP class, so this is going to stretch my abilities HOWEVER I am looking forward to meeting Samplippora (got one I can pronounce!) and will show pics if I ever get her together.
