Congratulations, Rita!!


Welcome to a very special edition of the Freshly Made Sketches! This week, we are celebrating Rita and her upcoming arrival with a little Baby Blog Hop using the Freshly Made Sketch challenge #37! :)

Sweet Baby
 

 Congratulations, Rita. I wish you all the best!! 
May every moment be filled with wonder and amazement!


If you've started at the beginning you will have just arrived here from Tui Nathan's blog, and you've reached the end - what a journey, eh? If this is your first stop, you can either head on over to Freshly Made Sketches to start at the beginning, or visit the blogs listed here:

Ann Schach
Tara Murphy Bourgoin <- You are here!

While you're at it, stop by Rita's Creations and leave her a little love!! :)

This also concludes my time with the Freshly Made Sketches as a Guest Designer. I had such a blast with these ladies this month! It was such an honour to be 'working' with them :)



Have a wonderful day!
