Wow! This week flew by - unfortunately I spent the majority of the week doing nothing but laying in bed, feeling like crap. I have been sick all week and am just starting to feel like I'm getting back to normal, which is why the blog has been so quiet. But I have a fun Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge sample to share with you now and will be back in a bit with a Verve Blog Hop, so it will be a busy day around the blog today! Anyway, on to this week's sketch: I decided to dust off another…
