Retro Wednesday- Retro Sketches #219

Happy Wednesday my crafty peeps…. I’m back with Retro Wednesday it’s time for the Retro Sketches weekly challenge….. I feel like I need to go “Float in a Boat” on the ocean as hot as it has been here in So. Cal…. I’m sitting here on the sofa with the fan blowing on me this evening trying to stay cool. I just feel so lazy I need to go to the mall to pick out a dress for a wedding on Friday geez.. I know I’m cutting it close for sure. I just don’t even want to go back out in the heat…. I’m so excited I was chosen as  the Queen of Clean over on the Freshly Made Sketches blog and I got an Honorable mention on the CASology Blog.. Woot.. Woot.. this girl is trying to do big things in this crafty world. I won my first challenge that has been a dream of mine for some time now  my other dream is to be on a Design Team one day soon. Well enough about the heat and me just going on and on…. Here’s my take on the sketch!
