Seize the Day Design Team Post for Lets Get Sketchy

Morning all

 The Lets Get Sketchy Team is back. I am one of the designers

March sketch is now up, this is my take on the Sketch

Why not come and join in the fun and get those pages scrapped 

https://letsgetsketchy.blogspot.com/

Our weather event looks like its cleared for a few days and hitting the southern states of Australia.

Now to start the clean up and get some washing dry, we have cleaned out the rooms to allow them to dry out some what. I have towels in the machine. Shoes out to dry as the mud is just like what we use to make our mud pies out of as children but very smelly. If I didn't laugh I would cry, but need to get on with it as there are thousands worse off then we are.

On a lighter note here is my interpretation of the sketch
