Friends of Unity March Blog Hop

 Hello and welcome to our Friends of Unity March Blog Hop. This month the theme is a sketch challenge. I love sketch challenges. These are the perfect thing when you are stuck in a crafting slump or when you need a dose of inspiration. The great thing about these is that it gives you a general layout but doesn't require you to conform to the design. Last year when we had our sketch theme, so many people played along. I hope you will join us again, and if you do, please share your creations on the Unity Show & Tell page.

I am so excited that next weekend we get to set our clocks ahead. While losing the hour of sleep is not on my list of fun things, it does mean spring is right around the corner. I don't know about you, but February is the slowest month of the year and I'm so glad it is finally over. I looked through my stamps and wanted to go with something that had a spring vibe. Ironically my sketch last year featured a bee, and it does again this year. I am a friend of the pollinators, and will be happy to see them when they return. 



Hop along with the other Friends of Unity and see their creations...
