Could do with some snow - it's so hot!!

Christmas in July sounds like a great idea this year. The UK is basking in unusually hot weather and has been for some weeks. Our weather station had the outside temperature at 32+ yesterday, far too hot for me! So to cool down I was thinking snowy thoughts while colouring up this image by LeAnne's World 101.

I have used a lot of old favourite colour blends in this one but also tried out a new one for the hair.

You may be wondering where I have been for the last 3 weeks. Well we have been away on our holidays much of which we spent in Ireland exploring the Wild Atlantic Way. With the beautiful weather we have had this year the Atlantic was more mild than wild!

Thanks for dropping in. Take care.
