Sweet Sketch Wednesday 163 and DIGI STAMP BOUTIQUE

This is Nancy from Northern Arizona, posting for
SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY

The monsoons have finally come and I couldn't be more excited.  We have been without rain for sooo long.  But, finally it is raining. We are so grateful for this blessing.  I know that in other parts of the world you have been getting all kinds of rain and bad weather.  Not all of it good.  We haven't had anything in months.  Here are a few pictures to show you the creek that runs in back of my house.  We are sooo excited to see it full. 



Pretty cool!!!

Before getting into our newest challenge, I wanted to present last weeks winner.

  15. Another inspirational sketch Arlana. I don't know what I would do without your sketches. Gorgeous cards by the DT Team. Nancy, you could have had some of our rain from the UK. We've had nothing but rain on and off since May, (more on than off), all the farmers fields are water logged. We're now hoping that the summer could be on the way, or so the weatherman is promising us.
