Now onto this week - and I have to tell you Jane was blown away by the gorgeous entries using her sketch - in fact these are her words in an email ...

"OMG I can't believe all the stunning entries with my sketch it is so lovely to see everyone's take on it!!"

I soo know how she feels - when my sketch was used it was an awesome experience - so thanx to everyone for your gorgeous work and for making Jane's day!
