Carpenter Joe......

Good morning.... half way through the week and I am finally getting my hair cut and coloured today..... it has been a long time!  I am really looking forward to our Venetian Masked Gala Ball on Saturday and believe it or not it was cheaper for me to book a night in the hotel in breakfast, use of the swimming pool and gym and free parking than a return taxi..... So we are having a little weekend away, so I suppose I have to call into Cardiff for a little shop.... I'm so excited it's like a date weekend!  I do hope my condition doesn't play up , so staying focused and having a relaxing few days and not overdoing it!
Today sees another new sketch challenge over at Divas By Design!

This week's challenge is for  one week only as we are going to a weekly challenge blog..... 

Some more exiting news we will have 3 teams

So here is my card for today we have a sketch to follow which I have posted below.....


I have a cute male image from Tiddly Inks called Carpenter Joe


Coloured with promarkers
