Well, it is Wednesday once more so it is Let's Scrap Sketch Reveal  day.  The sketch this week is based on a card so it didn't take nearly as long as a layout to do.

I thought I would make a start to my Christmas Cards so this is Number 1!!!!!  It's a very simple card, but I like it.

Mo's DP2 Challenge #100

This card below is being entered into Mo's Digital Challenge where the theme is Celebration.  What better to celebrate than the birth of a new baby, so I have made this for my friend's son and his wife who have just had a wee baby girl and they have named her Eva.  I love this image and will definitely be colouring up another one to make another card like this!! 

Now - on to the important stuff.  October is Lupus Awareness Month and I do a fundraiser every 2nd year.  Normally, we do the "Extra mile walk"  which is a 3 mile walk, and then an extra mile!!  I have always had to rely on other people to do the walk for me, as I can't walk that far, so this year, I thought I would do something different, and I will be doing a sponsored swim.  I will do a mile a day for 4 days, making the 4 mile total required.  To do a mile at my pool, you need to do 80 lengths and I can normally manage 60 on a good day, therefore I need to get some training done.  I also only normally go 3 times a week, so I am adding on another day as well!! So from normally doing 180 lengths over 3 days, I am now doing 320 lenghts over 4 days.  (Am I mad, I ask myself!!??) I have been poorly for the last 2 weeks so didn't manage any swimming at all, but managed back today and I did 50 lengths in 50 minutes, which I thought wasn't too bad as I didn't want to push it.  Next swim will be on Friday and I will give you an update then!!  Watch this space!! LOL!!!
