May You Be Kissed By Snowflakes .... Sketch Saturday's Last Challenge of 2011

We    goodbye to 2011 this evening and its a year I don't ever want to repeat, but one i'd do all over again in a heartbeat, if it meant being able to spend 11 more months with my Dad. .   I have mixed feelings about 2012 ... a year of firsts :( without Dad, but hopefully a year of firsts :D with our gorgeous friend Paula!!!

On a personal note, I'd like to thank my Saturday Girl teamies for the    and support they showed me during my difficult time.  For the text and email messages of concern, the cards of condolence and sympathy and the huge cyber    left for me!  Thanks girls I love you all x
