The Time Has Come

To all the faithful followers,

It is with very mixed emotions I write this blog post..... 

however....  the time has come for 'Crafty Sketches' to take a break

this is due to personal & family commitments...

with all that is happening I feel I am unable to give Crafty my full attention hence this decision.

I take this opportunity to thank each & every one who has been a part of 'Crafty' since it's inception

your ongoing support has been invaluable... 

To my current design team ....

you are an awesome & extremely talented team, 

I wish you every success in your future ventures ..  

I cannot thank you enough for your kind words of support & encouragement 

  this is not goodbye ... it is just a bit of R & R ... 

so till we meet again

here are a couple of challenge sites to visit ....

JULY SKETCH

Firstly I need to do some housekeeping !!!

 At long last I can see a light at the end of a tunnel !!! 

I am behind on all the organization & rewards to the monthly winners 

& for this I humbly apologize.. 

You are definitely not forgotten ...

your RAKs will be posted & your blinkies will be emailed..

I appreciate all who support 'Crafty Sketches'  

Secondly there has been a slight change 

it was decided the Design Team members can either design a sketch 

or select one from a sketch artist of their choice

this month we start with a Beggahuna sketch chosen 

by Nicole Knopke 
here is a link to Beggahuna's blog 

The team has created some amazing & diverse LOs with this great sketch
