SSS103-April 9

Hello fellow sketch lovers! Sorry for the late post. Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is at a stamp expo this weekend so I am popping in quick before the show starts today to get this post up.

I also apologize we haven't had any player spotlights the last two weeks. Getting ready for the show has taken much of my time, but I do plan to bring them back next week. Thank you for your patience with me!

Now, how about I share the sketch? :)

SSS102-April 2

Hello fellow sketch lovers! Can you believe April is already here? Yay for the warmer weather :)! I am so ready!

Before I get to this week's sketch I just want to say a big thank you to Denise Marzec for stepping in as our DT coordinator these past three months. She did an awesome job but has decided to step down from that title so I will be taking it over again for the time being. She will be staying with us as a Sugar Baby for the next 3 months so no worries.....she isn't going anywhere yet! YAY! :)

I also want to thank Lori McAree & Christine Dol for being a part of the team these past 3 months. You ladies rocked the sketches and brought us all tons of inspiration. Thank you!! You will be missed!

And lastly, I am excited to welcome my good friends Janice Melton as a full-time Sugar Baby for the next 3 months AND Beate Johns as this month's Guest Sugar Baby :). These ladies sure have a lot of talent to share so prepare to be inspired!

Now for this week's sketch...
