Christmas with Sketch #243

Welcome to my blog, 18 days until Christmas and I still have a few gifts to buy.  I always did my shopping early, and then I would see new items on the shelves and wish I had purchased those items instead.  This year I'm a lot slower and buying what my boys have asked for and they'll be getting money as well.

Today we have two new sketches for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and sketch #243 is the first.
