Is It Spring Yet? Sweet Sketch Wednesday 190 and Floppy Latte

Has it been cold enough for everyone? 

This is Nancy hosting this week for SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY, from the bright sunny state of Arizona....    You would think that Arizona would be warm.  But that has not been the case lately.   It has been really, really cold here.  We had three nights with the temperatures down to 6 degrees and the days were only in the 20's. 
 I don't live in Phoenix, but they really has problems with their plant life and water lines when the temperatures get that low.  They have to cover everything up.  They had temperatures in the 20's at night which is not good for cactus and other plant life down there..   I live in Northern Arizona so it was actually alot colder here.
It is crazy because today the temperatures are in the mid 60's.  I didn't even wear a jacket today when I went out. 
For those of us that live in the northern hemisphere, I thought you might like it see a little taste of spring with this beautiful picture.  Just think, Spring will be here in a few short months.

Now, on with introducing our new sponsor this week.
We are happy to announce

Hi. I'm Jessica (or FLOPPY) of FLOPPY LATTE DESIGNS. I design digital stamps and papers, and also rework old woodcuts and drawings and put them into digital stamp form.. and i'm stef (or GLITTERBABE) as i'm known in blogland. I also design digital stamps but not quite as intricately as FLOPPY does. Together we're the LATTE LADIES, or better known as FLOPPY LATTE DESIGNS. Jess is the more serious one and stef is the clown – always trying to make people laugh. ok. So she likes the limelight. Keeps me (jess) in the background creating. Together we offer a variety of stamping and scrapbooking images and items reaching out to everyone's tastes (so we think). Do drop by FLOPPY LATTE DESIGNS ( www.floppylattedesigns.com/catalog ) and have a look around. We are sure you'll see something you like and we guarantee it'll put a smile on your face!
