I love bats! My second year of college my friend Canace and i spent a semester doing bat rescue in the remote rainforest of Australia. We spent our days locating sick Spectacled Flying Foxes and nursing them back to health. It was one of the most amazing and rewarding experiences of my life, and i've loved bats ever since. The above photo shows me with a full grown bat we named Cleo. She had an injury which prevented her from living on her own in the wild, so she hung out with us all the time in the "house" (essentially a pre-fab garage!). The photo on the right is another volunteer holding a cute little baby bat. Far from being scary, you'd never guess how sweet these bats can be. The Flying Fox in particular is an adorable animal with big huge eyes and a face much like a dog. Anyway, as promised below is this weeks digital Freebie! These 4 bat brushes coordinate with Jack, my Halloween themed digital scrapbooking kit, found on pcLayers. Also, not to be missed are some seriously killer tied ribbons and ric-rac that also match the Jack kit, an amazing freebie created by Natalie. AND, my super talented friend Becky created a quick page mini-album that totally makes me drool (conveniently available soon on pcLayers!). Can't wait to have some Halloween photos of my own to throw in this cool album. Stay tuned for next weeks freebie... i'm thinking creepy crawly spider webs!
