Picture Perfect

 by A Day For Daisies

Good morning it's Wednesday 25th January my boys have had 6 weeks summer vacation and this time next week they'll be back at school.  Our start to our summer here in New Zealand wasn't the best when it came to the weather and the amount of wind and rain we had and now the boys are due back to school we're having wonderful hot sunny days and they'll be scorching  in their school uniforms in shirts and ties.


So it's Wednesday and that means it's another wonderful 
Sweet Sketch Wednesday
and welcome.

Congratulations to our winner this week and our top 3 cards there were some very interesting and creative cards all so lovely to visit.

This week Arlana has another wonderful sketch for you to work with I really love it as it shows off your design papers.

Good morning today is Wednesday and that means it's another wonderful Wednesday and it's Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Good morning everyone hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year.  I have my family visiting from Australia sisters and husbands plus my own family and visitors arriving through out the day to catch up with each other.  I'm the youngest of 7 children all married with grandchildren so I guess you can understand that it can feel like Grand Central Station here at the moment.  It's my eldest brothers special birthday on New Year's Eve he's turning 70 and we are all getting together for that.  Today we are off to our beach house for a few days before the big event and for a couple of days of relaxation.

Today is another wonderful Sweet Sketch Wednesday,

congratulations to our winners last week there were so many lovely cards.  I'm so sorry I didn't get around to comment on your blogs but by the time in the evenings when I would have been commenting I was so tired I had fallen asleep on the sofa and one night I got caught dozing at the computer by my son, so I thought you would understand.

This week Arlana has another wonderful sketch, this sketch worked perfectly with my selected image from our sponsor.

Louie and Big Heart

Good morning only 4 more sleeps to go and Sleigh Bells will be ringing and there will be a Ho Ho Ho in the snow in the Northern Hemisphere but here in New Zealand hopefully it will be a warm summers night.  My boys are past the Santa stage but still love their Christmas Stockings and I'm silly enough to wrap up each individual item that goes into it........................it's more fun that way.

Congratulations to our winner this week and our top 3,  there were some really beautiful cards I commented on this week they were just outstanding.
