Spring in Colorado

I have been waiting for some good light to take a photo of the sketch prize but to be honest it has been a little gloomy. I must say I quite like gloomy weather, it reminds me of home!!

Spring weather in Colorado is rather wonderful, it seems to rain quite a bit, snow for a bit get a little bit windy and then be quite sunny. Sometimes you can see four seasons in just one afternoon.

But Mother Nature still knows it is Spring, the flowers are starting to grow, the leaves are returning on the trees and the birds tweeting seems a little bit louder - or perhaps I just made that bit up!!

This photo of Middle Oompa Loompa just sums up Spring in Colorado, I love it.......

So I just wanted to let you know my ideas on the new prize for the sketch competition, unfortunately without photos. I wanted to send the winner a two part prize, the first part being a prize, (some wonderful scrapping goodies). The second part I wanted to send a mini kit containing five scrapbooking items for them to make a layout, (for example ribbon, alphas, flowers, bling, paper). The only rule being that you can only use these products on your layout. I then thought I would send the same pack out to the next two winners. Once we have all three layouts, I thought I would post them on my blog and then we can all vote for whose our favourite layout is and the winner will be sent another little prize.

As with all these things, you never know if it going to work out until you do it. So I say that we give it a shot and see how it pans out.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, Prince Charming returns from London later this afternoon and I am hoping that his suitcase has a few little goodies in there for me. I did ask for an Aero bar and some Cadbury's Milk buttons but not to worry if he forgot, I did see both last week in the English chocolate section of World Market!!
