I hope you had a great weekend!
We are on our March Break this week so no school, two teenagers happily sleeping in and no lunches to make. Yes I still make their lunches because then I know they are eating, and it isn't take out. It is time for another Merry Monday, I am having a great time as the Featured Designer this month. Everyone of the team is wonderful. This week is a sketch week and here is the sketch:
