Welcome to Sketchy Thursday ladies. I am sitting here with a huge ol' grin on my face. Cause today I get to announce the winner of the $52.00 shopping spree. Oh yah, and it's my birthday.
LOL! You guys were AMAZING with these sketches. I was so excited to see so many new faces play along as well. Thank you for spreading the love with this celebration.
But I bet you guys are dying to know who is the winner of the shopping spree. Well I won't keep you in suspense any longer. FYI... I did account for those of you that had my blinkie posted to your blog. You got double credit for *each* submission.

And to Tinla for celebrating ALL 52 sketches with me. Yep, the girl did every single one! Teresa and Tinla, please email me so I can send you a little something.
I tried to comment on everyone's entries. They were all so wonderful. I'm soooo sorry if I missed you somehow. All entries were so amazing that I am officially declaring EVERYONE a Sketch Artist! I can do that because I'm the birthday girl today darn it.
Just kidding. But seriously all of them were just wonderful. Thank you to everyone for playing along and celebrating a year of sketches with me.
Now for a new sketch.......
