NAUGHTY AND NICE

NAUGHT AND NICE OR MICE.

Good morning and welcome to my blog.  It's a beautiful spring day here in New Zealand, and the sun is shining brightly.  Are you all wondering why I used this fun image for a Christmas card?  Well, in New Zealand and the Southern Hemisphere, Christmas is in the middle of our summer, and fresh strawberries are abundant.  I just couldn't help myself, as I love strawberries and Di's adorable image from DisDigiStamps.

Today over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, we have two new sketches for you to play with and one of my very favourite from the archives 7 years ago.  Today I'm featuring

Sketch # 314

On the 19th of November, I'll feature the second sketch.

Don't forget to pop over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and check out what the design team have created this month.
