seasons on a heavy snowfall down to the
roadside and boys making snowballs and
snowmen.

and has since then grown to almost 500 stamps.  Joy (the mother of

 life”, and create images with a cartoon flair.  Having these two complimenting styles

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!!!

And here's our sketch, a blast from the past! We hope you have as much fun using it as we did. But before I show off what all the talented DT did, let me tell you about our sponsor.

Pattie Gomez Bio

I am an Internet Technology Professional and an Artist. I always dreamed of being an artist, but I found out quickly that I needed another field to support my family so I pursued a Degree in Information Technology. I love to use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Fireworks to enhance my work.

I created a character called Pattieboop and her cat named Allie. I have had so much fun coming up with different images so I also created a site to sell them. You can go to my store to find out more about Pattieboop & Allie. I know you will just love them when you see them.

My store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/pattiescreations

Pattieboop is an 11 year old girl who is very opinionated. She was created by me, Pattie Gomez on September 7, 2009. Pattieboop is an average 11 year old and she loves dressing up. She is very petite in nature but stands tall because her mother always told her that “If you stand tall you will one day become someone important”. Pattieboop always remembers her mother’s words and makes sure she is noticed.
Pattieboop has a favorite pet named Allie. Allie is a slender black cat and loves playing and spending time with Pattieboop. Allie spends most of her days napping and her nights are spent getting in to mischief...

Pattie is graciously offering our winner 3 free digis of their choice!!!!!

Now let me show you what the wonderful DT has created:
