Challenge #128 - Optional 'Glitter and Sparkle' at Sketch n Stash

Good morning my lovely blogging friends.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend and are somewhat nearer to being ready for the BIG DAY next week.

I had a busy weekend starting with a surprise visit from my youngest older brother that I hadn't seen for 5.5 years on Saturday.

Then yesterday I had planned some quiet time to sort a few more Christmas things out, to have a little play in my crafty haven and then a good old blog catch whilst catching up on Strictly - but I got a phone call from Aaron asking me to take him Christmas shopping down the Mall so all those plans went out the window.

So by the time I got back from shopping and then caught up with Saturday's Strictly it was just about time to make a quick tea and settle down to watch the results and then the X Factor final.

So it's the start of a new week and also the start of a new challenge over at 

SKETCH N STASH 

and we have another fabulous sketch for you to work with and an optional theme of

GLITTER AND SPARKLE
