Hey peoples,

Well I have to say it is so good to be back here at my crafty desk, on Maisie Mac viewing all your fabulous entries to this past weeks Sketch challenge!

I had a big reality check the past couple of days as I have been struck down with a nasty case of Tonsillitis! On wednesday I was starting to get through all that washing, and unpacking when I came down with a nasty migraine! I then got the chills and the sore throat. I took myself off to the doctors and yep it was tonsillitis again! I only had this just before we went on our trip and then to get it three days after being home was a real shock. Anyway I am slowly on the mend, I have pretty much slept for two full days, and still have quite the woosy head, but hopefully the antibiotics kick in and I recover quickly etc…….just when I am dying to get in and start stamping with my new booty ey?

Thanks for all the comments on my new embarrassingly huge stash of crafty goodness too….. I can really see that it is what excites you all, and yes I too can’t wait to see what I can do with it all! just gotta get better first!

Okay so it is back to me picking the challenge winners each week seeing as I am home again! It was interesting to read the DT girls posts on who won each week…..AND to read that they all found it really hard to pick winners! I struggle with this week in, week out as you guys are all so talented! This week was no different either!

This weeks Inkspirations Sketch Challenge winner is the fabulous stamper Helen! Helen made two creations and both were as adorable as the other……. here they are!

Creation 1….

Creation 2…..

Then this weeks Honourable mention goes to Claire Dauncey. This was Claire’s first time playing the challenges and I really loved her choice of stamps, and her watercolouring is gorgeous too!

So there you have this weeks winners…… Helen will be joining us as our Guest Designer next week, and I am sure she will dazzle us with her stamping brilliance!

Get ready for the next challenge later today and another very exciting announcement too!

See ya peeps!
