DeNami Sketch Challenge #12

This month's challenge over at DeNami is a sketch challenge, courtesy of Lisa....


Ugh, the craft room is under construction, as the new window was just put in, and everything is still not in place. It's so much easier to find things when they aren't stacked on top of each other and pushed into corners!
