No love for animation

I'm having a really hard time with the animation project.  I have lost hours of work several times.  I have thought about ditching this project and starting over many times.  I have watched countless videos and read many how to websites but so far it isn't helping.  I did finally get this part done.  It doesn't look like much, but it took a really long time.  I didn't use many photographs as I was trying hard to use photoshop skills to blend the frames together.
