cute as candy...

Good morning everyone I hope your all having a wonderful week so far...how stunning is this sweetie...she reminds me of summer holidays at the seaside when I was little...how much did you love candy cane rock sticks...I loved the minty sweet flavour of them so much...I was thinking about my childhood when I was colouring this sweetie and remembering how wonderful it was...we weren't rich but my Mum and Dad always made sure we had holidays and as my Dad was from Northern Ireland a lot of them were spent here...the smells and sounds of my Grandmas house when we came to visit still live with me now...right now back to this cutie...shes from Sugar Nellie and is called Sweet as Candy (now what else could she be called lol)...I coloured her with distress inks and used some perfect summer papers from the Carta Bella - Cool Summer 6x6 Paper Pad from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...I finished with some blue gingham ribbon, a pink bow and loads and loads of buttons...I'm having a day without posting tomorrow as I ran out of time to make anything else oops lol, but I will be back on Thursday with something to show you and don't forget about my candy...have a brilliant day
