SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY #99

HELLO SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY FOLLOWERS

Hi everyone! It's Nancy here in the High Desert of sunny Arizona.  I am posting this week for the Sweet Sketch Wednesday Design Team. For those of you who are new to this blog, we welcome you to the Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge! We are so happy to have you join us!

And for our loyal followers of SSW, we welcome you back and thank you for your support!

I know I speak for the whole SSW Design Team when I tell you how excited we are to see all the amazing creativity you share with us week after week. There are so many talented crafters that bless us with your online friendship and support. You are all an inspiration to us.

I just loved the post that Kathy did a few weeks ago and so, I just had to share some pictures of where I live.  We live in such a beautiful world.  These first three pictures are of the "Granite Dells" and "Watson Lake" near Prescott, Arizona.  The next four pictures are on the "Grand Canyon National Park" in Arizona. 

The first thing I saw when we moved to Prescott, was the "Granite Dells".  It is an absolutely gorgeous place to visit.

I hope you enjoyed seeing these pictures.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday will be celebrating our 100th sketch this next week. Please mark your calendars for May 4th– We are planning a blog hop to mark this wonderful occasion. We want you to be part of it!

We want to let you know how difficult it is to pick the winners each week.  Your cards are amazing.  But, what really makes us sad, is when we see an exceptional card and we can't enter it into the contest because you have forgotten to post a comment on Sweet Sketch Wednesday. 
So, please remember to comment!

Next week is our 100th sketch!!! I just don't want you to forget!!
