Great job, sallyanne !!
Heres what you can do to improve it even more. Instead of feathering and deleting the background, you call up a selection from the path, then apply a layermask from selection.
Same thing, but the original image is unchanged.
Next you select the layermask and apply Gaussian Blur (radius depends on the image size, but 5px is good enough most of the time).
Thats the feathering.
If you call up the curves tool and drag the curve around (grab the middle of the curve and drag it diagonally, up or down), the blur will expand or retract, so now you can control the feathering.
