Well Hello there my crafty peeps it has been a very busy weekend but I manage to squeeze in some time in the haven to get a few projects completed for a couple of challenges. It’s that time and this evening I’m playing over on the Freshly Made Sketches and Cacology blogs….. My family normally celebrates the 4th early so Friday night was our night on Mission Bay I just love this time of year because to me it’s the official summer kick-off…. Yesterday was quiet I had lunch with Susan, Roxie and Jan it was a great time to just hangout and catch up on just some crafty talk. I went to the fair today with my sister, nephew my Uncle and his son.. I was able to finish my card before I left for the fair…… I’m exhausted from walking around the fair.. I had a corn dog, squeezed lemonade and desert was funnel cake….. can I say fair food overload. Here we go my take on the sketch this week…….
