An absolutely crazy week for me here; but was glad to get in an entry before the deadline. Looking forward to seeing what others have come up with this week - and, it certainly warmed my heart to see my stylish friend, @itsostylish walk away with the win last week. Well done mate!
This week, I was all about Scenario 1 - and, trying to do something a bit unexpected with it. ;)
