Sketch #157 with Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello everyone and welcome to

 Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

If you're new to SSW2 a very large warm welcome and if you're one of our regular returning friends thank you so much for coming back and visiting us.

It's Kathie here this fortnight from an autumn's day here in New Zealand.

I live in the North Island which is the warmer of the three islands.  We aren't part of Australia nor are we joined onto Australia which I've been asked by followers in the past.  I do hope that everyone in the Northern Hemisphere is enjoying your first month of spring and getting ready for summer.  If your summer is anything like we've just had it's going to be really sunny and hot.  Where our home is situated we need rain really badly and this morning  I woke to rain, this is the first rain since Christmas Day.

Thank you for all the lovely entries to our last challenge sponsored by Anne, I just wish that there were entries so we could have a Top 3.  Everyone must prefer other challenges than ours as we aren't getting the numbers.  

My question to our dedicated followers is what can we do to encourage more entries???  We would love to hear from you as we all have different ideas and views.  Thanks so much and we look forward to hearing from you in the comments.

Now onto last fortnights winner from Sketch #156 was.........

Sketch 155 sponsored by Cute as a Button

Hello and welcome to a new challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. We are so glad that you visited us and hope that you feel inspired to play along with this our latest sketch.

We have had a bit of summer and a bit of winter here in the UK over the last week or so, it was nearly 20 degrees on Monday of last week and in contrast there was sleet landing on my windscreen on the way home from work on Monday. I hope that wherever you are in the world that the weather is being kind to you.

So onto the winner of last week, it's Teresa with this sweet creation.

Please email me at anne_ssw2@aol.co.uk with your postal address and I will get your prize off to you, and please help yourself to your winners badge from the sidebar.

We didn't have enough entries for a top 3 last time so onto this weeks challenge. It's very straightforward and great for using up your scraps.

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”’  Numbers 6:26

Sketch #154 Sponsored by Anne

Hello and welcome to 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

Hi, I'm Kathie one of the design team members and this fortnight I'm your hostess and I'm coming from Auckland New Zealand.

Downunder in the Southern hemisphere we are still suffering a very long hot summer, one of the hottest summers on record.  All I would like is a couple of days of nice steady rain as the last day I saw a good rainfall was Christmas Day that's coming up 2 months ago.  I'm looking forward to that lovely smell of rain after a hot day to cool the air so we can have a good nights sleep.

Now onto this fortnights winner and the lucky person is
