Sketchy Candle

Good morning and welcome to my blog.

It's a beautiful spring morning here in New Zealand and it's countdown here before we leave on our trip and I think I'm going to have to start writing a list as I know I'll forget something that has to be done before we leave.

I'm sharing a photo of a vase of Sweet Peas I grew myself from seeds and nurtured to be able to pick this lovely vase on Saturday morning.  I just adore their colours and perfume.  They bring back childhood memories of my Dad always growing them for my Mum who also adored them.

Congratulations to this weeks winner they were lovely cards, great work everyone.
Now onto this weeks sketch which I love and is really easy and goes together very quickly.  I rotated it this week to fit my image by 90 degrees to the left and as you've seen the finished result.

Sketch #75
