Cute Just Got Cuter!

I hope you are all well & getting lots of crafting done. I am managing to stay on top of things. My Dr is sending me for some thyroid & diabetes tests, too see if that's why I can't stay awake for more than an hour at a time!! Frustrating isn't the word, just hope we find the answer soon!

Anyhoos today's challenge over at Moving Along With The Times is a great one. A first for me, I have used crayola wax crayons to colour my image. I am a member of Kit & Clowder on Facebook & they were all having a try. But I hadn't got any, so had to wait until Nige got me some xx

The theme for this weeks challenge is.....

DOGGONE IT!!

use an image of a dog, or any other animal

Don't forget he has been coloured using Crayola wax crayons, not sure really if I like it!

If anyone knows who has drawn this cutie, please let me know so I can give credit to them!

Thank you for stopping by today, I really do appreciate you sticking with me. I am off to the doctors again on the 6th. So fed up of falling asleep all the time, or feeling so exhausted I can't move!

Fingers crossed some new meds or something will help, because I have had enough!!!
