 Sketch 493

Good Morning

We finally woken to clear blue skies , after a week of solid rain. Its lovely to see the sun, the grass has grown and looks like a jungle, but is to soggy to mow.

I cannot believe we are nearly into a new month. As usual I am behind in my blog so as it nears the end of the month I need to blog a few pages to enter into a few challenges. Pages get done but not blogged so here I go this morning (Need to get into a better routine) 

The first one is sketch 493 for Sketches in Thyme

I am back using my scraps box, I have use assorted brands and Collections . So will not write it up as normal

I hope I have matched in all the different collections to highlight my photos of our Great Grandson Birthday

 Morning  all

Overcast  and cloudy this morning. Sun popping through the clouds. 

Yesterday it gave me a chance to create Week 1: entry into he challenge for Sketches in Thyme . It took a while for the modelling paste to dry. Have made a mistake when trying to do the smaller circles so painted over it
