Anyway my prayers were answered because it rained and went away! Result in my book.

Challenge 109 - Sketch

Howdy there folks! I came to a sad realisation this morning..... I went out to my car and it was white all over! It was covered in frost and ice! Yipes!!! Could I find an ice scraper? Of course I couldn't, and because I was being my usual last minute Minnie I didn't have time to find one either. Fingers are not the best method of comfortable ice removal ;))

Challenge 107 - swirly whirly

Well howdy there peeps! How y'all doing? We seem to be having a spot of Indian Summer weather. Though I'm not sure I should call it that really. I think you get Indian Summers in September, heck we're almost in December! Really really unseasonably warm, I'm not complaining at all, though if this is a tempter and we get what we had last year.... well then you will hear me moan for sure!

So massive thanks to all you who came to play last week! Oh wow how lovely - I know the Gorjussettes really really appreciate your kind comments too.

So the Random Picky Thing has done his stuff, not without moaning his head off I might add. I had to use a crowbar to lever in all the names. After much chugging he eventually threw a name at me - Donna! So you're the lucky winner of that Crafters Companion voucher, please email me with your name in the title line.

So this week we're sponsored by those fabby folks at Simon Says Stamp Our lucky winner will receive $10 to spend online. They've got the best of everything to choose from!
