Hello my crafty friends! Have you ever paid one bit of attention to the 'stats' section of your blog? I had a reason to do just that a few months ago and noticed how close I was to hitting my 2500th post! Now THAT is a LOT of cards considering how often there are more than one card shared in one post!
Today, I am just as happy making and sharing my cards as I was the very first day of blogging! Thanks to all of you for continuing to encourage me to keep going when it looks to me that having a blog seems to be taking a back seat to sharing through social media.
Here's to post 2501 - for Freshly Made Sketches #610 - they continue to inspire me each week whether I play along or not! Jen Timko has a fun Sketch for us this week!

Of course, that top skater - the one lagging behind - is me! I found I needed to adjust the sketch just a bit to fit all three of my skaters [by the way they are on sale during the Moving Sale at Waffle Flower Crafts]- I hope Jen will let that 'skate by!'
I have another for you, well actually for Four Seasons for their final Fall challenge of 2023. I loved using this Waffle Flower set again...
A perfect sentiment from PTI was stamped on the inside...
By now you're all scratching your heads wondering why I didn't color my squirrel red aren't you. Me TOO!! Perhaps I was dazzled by the grey decor in that photo next door? Oh well, maybe that will cause a 'second helping?'
Okay. If you're up to it, and kind enough to leave me a comment, PLEASE share YOUR number of posts* with me? I know for a fact that many of you have been blogging much longer than I have!
Thanks so much for all the support and kind words you've shared in the last [almost] ten years since THIS post!
