Slight delay……

Unfortunately there will be a slight delay announcing the winner and top 5 passionista for last week’s “sketch” challenge.  I had a family emergency this evening and wasn’t able to get to my computer.  Everything is fine now but I’m only fit for bed so I’ll do the post as soon as I get in from work tomorrow.  I’m really sorry for keeping you in suspense.

Take care
