Challenge 88 - summertime...

Yoohoo! Summertime and the livin' is eaaaasyyyyy, summertime.... summertime??? Huh where has it gone? My part of the world appears to have been transported into some weird monsoon world. Well without the heat but when it rains its exceedingly wet rain. You know the sort that seems to be extra big drops that make you wet in about 2 seconds. Oh and can you guess who found out today that her jacket isn't shower proof?.... Oh that'll be me then! It felt lovely I could have been walking around wrapped in a wet towel! Oh I'd laughed at my friend in her husbands coat..... then she pointed out that that coat was waterproof. Oh well I guess I need a new one.

Thanks to you who came to play with our sketch last week, the RPT has done his stuff and the winner of the Joanna Sheen voucher is Inge Email me and include the challenge number in the title and I'll sort your prize for you.

So whats the challenge this week... Well... now this will make you laugh (or scream) when I set the challenges I must have been in a dream world. You know almost the middle of July.... nice hot sunny days, warm balmy evenings sat in the garden.... hmmm you read what I said earlier? Anyway I picked Summertime! hah what a laugh! So please show us something summery, it might be all we get! This week we're kindly sponsored by Crafters Companion The lucky winner will get £10 to spend online! How fab is that - have you seen the new stamps? They're lovely!

Challenge 87 - its a sketch

Well howdy there folks - I hope I find you all well and looking forward to having a nice weekend. I've got my fingers crossed as we 'seem' to have a nice weather forecast! Hooray! There's actually some sunshine heading our way, so the forecasters tell us. Now whether that happens is a different matter all together - I'm hoping so as I need to attend to my garden. Why do weeds grow twice as fast as things I want to grow? Oh and regrow when you think you've dug them up! Still I hope you all have a happy weekend too.

Thanks to you all who came to play last week - fabulous as always! The RPT has done his stuff and he's picked Claire email me your details with the challenge number in the title line and I'll arrange your ribbon for you.

Howdy there folks. Have you had a good week? A very busy one here - no change there then. ore news on the weather front.... I think we've gone into the monsoon season! Well if the sound of the rain hammering onto the conservatory roof is anything to go by. One of the kitties wanted to go out.... at the third time of trying he finally went for it.... ran 3 yards to get under the car! Silly boy, he'll no doubt be in soon soaking wet. Oh and don't tell anyone but I've had the heating on!

Its just so flipping weird. I mean we aren't too far away from the longest day! Isn't supposed to be just a teeny weeny bit sunny? Oh and the cherry on the cake was when it was announced that some parts are officially in a drought! My buddy who lives on t'other side of the Pennines from me howled with laughter, every time we speak its raining at her end. Hope its gets sunny for you soon Gez.

Challenge 84 - flower power!

Howdy there peeps - oh my this weather! I'm thinking I've got the answer to it though. This came to me the other day.... I left the house in a t-shirt, I came back freezing cold and had to run down the drive as the heavens burst! It suddenly came to me that its April! So if that's the case I have good news because we go on holiday in May! Which is fantastic news.... however looking at the paper it clearly says it isn't. I've got my fingers crossed though that the weather perks up a bit soon. I've got some lovely new shorts I'd like to wear! And on that scary thought I'll stop ;))

So thanks to those of you who came to play with my sketch last week - its lovely to see how you all interpret it. So the RPT has done his stuff and the winner of that fabulous Joanna Sheen £10 voucher is Kami Email me your details with the challenge number in the title.
