Oh Christmas Tree Sketch 492

 Morning  all

Woke to an absolutely  brilliant morning clear blue skies and a much cooler breeze than it has been. After my chores and a load of towels. With a tidy of my table, I can sit there and catch up. I want to catch up on a few challenges and some swaps this week end as we have nothing on and won't be going out anywhere as hubby suffering badly from a heat rash and can hardly move

The first Challenge I have completed is for Week 2 Sketch Challenge over at "Sketches in Thyme". I have used Uniquely Creative  "Days of December" with its pale Green's and pops of Red. I have created a second page of our Great Granddaughter, last Christmas decorating the tree.

These pages will bring back many memories for the family as Poppy Joe as the grand children called him passed away suddenly early this year. So no more hoisting onto his shoulder to put up those high decorations up. (Not Covid related)
