A challenge or 2 or 3 or 4!!

Feeling more like normal today, just a bit of a snuffly nose and a cough, so thought I would catch up on a few challenges.
First up is 'black and white' over at Magnolia so here's my little pirate curtosy of a swap with Heike (thanks), I used a sketch that I saw on someone's blog but blowed if I can remember who's!2nd is 'lime and lilac' over at Papertake Weekly, I have combined this with the Time to Craft challenge which is to use an image with 'dark hair'3rd and last for today is my card using the very first challenge sketch over at Friday Sketchers (I'll definately be back here on a weekly basis as I love working with sketches)
The extension is coming along nicely, between us we got the whole room, including en-suite and walk in wardrobe plaster boarded. I mixed the adhesive while Matthew cut the board to size then we both 'dotted and dabbed' the mixture to the walls and slapped the boards on, it was a little on the warm side to say the least!! We are waiting on the plumber who is messing us about a bit, get the impression he's not too interested in the job, so may find someone else!

Hollie is doing well going to nursery now which is such a big relief and almost every day I hear a new name so she must be making friends.
