beautiful day

I haven't been very crafty during the week recently, as I said in a post yesterday, I've been working.  Which is awesome because in 2013 after getting the axe, I started my own drafting business...at this point I have one Civil Engineer, one Land Surveyor, and one Tank (think plants, like sand or gravel plants) company and I've been working on getting another Civil Engineering firm.  It was a slow start at first but now it's going pretty good and work has become fairly steady.  I love it! and I love my fuzzy co-workers... my kitties!


For this card, I used Unscripted Sketches #238, this sketch is way up there on my list of great sketches... something about it just clicks for me
