Hey peoples,

I hope you have all had a great week! My week once again has been pretty eventful…. This week Elijah had surgery to have his adenoids out and some corrective surgery on his nose. So I am hoping that is the very last of surgeries for this family for some time to come! Last night was the first full night sleep I have had in 9 days which was so nice! He is doing pretty well though and even Janaya has picked up. She started to eat again yesterday and finally had some colour back in here cheeks again

Also this week I was lucky enough to receive this fun blog award from the fabulous Helen Heil… what a sweetie! For this award I need to share 3 things about myself and then pass it onto 5 other blogs….

Three things about me:

1. I am highly allergic to coffee….(sometimes I wish it was chocolate, it would be better for my waitline!)

2. My middle name is Gale - after my great Grandmother

3. I have a fear of snakes, sharks, and the ocean, but spiders don’t faze me at all

Okay how to narrow this down to only 5 top blogs?! Here goes….

A BIG thank you to Kirsty for hosting last weeks challenge! There were some amazing watercolouring in the challenge entries - well done people!

This week we have a colour combo for you. Now I just know you will look at it and go, “Keesh, what are you thinking??!” But trust me it does work. Also remember you can use say one or two of the colours and then just highlight with some ribbon or something small… Also I have Kiwi kiss on there, as I had these swatches made up ahead of time, before the colours were all gone etc….. So if you don’t have any Kiwi kiss left- no worries, just use Olive, or Simply chartreuse from Papertrey ink etc…

Here is the colour panel for you all:

here is my sample for you:

I have used that new fun stamp set from SU, called Long fellows..I love stamped turtles, they always have cheeky faces. Super simple this week, but sometimes that is so refreshing too!

Here is our fabulous Guest Designer this week, the talented Louise Layton and her gorgeous creation:

Okay so be sure to pop past the DT girls blogs and see what they have made, no doubt it will be inspirational!
