This week as your hostess I have one very special sponsor, my daughter Didge.

Here's a little bit about her...

"Hi everyone I am Didge, I am 13 years old & I love to draw. I have recently started to sell my digi images at the Stitchy Bear Store. My mom started me off with the digi images. I sit drawing at night & one day when I came home from school my mom had turned one of my dragon drawings into a card for me. My mom then showed it to Stitchy who asked if I would like to draw & sell them in her shop.

I hope you all like my images & thank you for asking me to sponsor
