SSSC #200 and a Fond Farewell...

Welcome back everyone!! I hope you are all pretty close to being ready for the big day - only 3 more sleeps!  I think I am pretty close to being ready - we will be celebrating with my husband's family on Tuesday and then enjoying Christmas Day at home.  I still haven't decided if we will head down to visit my parents between Christmas and New Year's - we'll see...

Today I've got some good news and sad news - let's start with the good news!!  It is time for the 200th Sweet Sunday Sketch!!!  Can you believe we're up to 200 already?  I feel so thankful and blessed to be part of such an awesome design team - Karen and the girls are one-in-a-million.  :)  To celebrate this amazing milestone, Karen will be offering up a gift certificate to the My Favorite Things store to one lucky participant so please try and play along with us!  Here's the final sketch of 2013:

And now for the sad news... this will my final sketch as part of the SSSC Design Team.  I have had a lot of *life stuff* going on the past few months and just feel like it is time to let some responsibilities go to free up some time to focus on my family and friends.  This was a VERY difficult decision for me to make and I took a LONG time deciding what to do.  I will miss everyone but will still try and play along when time allows!  

For my card, I used this week's color combo from the Just Us Girls Challenge - love the reds and browns together:
