Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #674

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope your week has started well!  We are early awaiting the arrival of a chinook and with it some warmer temperatures!  It has been soooo cold here lately!  We left the house this morning at 6:15 am for a hike and it was -26C feeling like -36C.  Thankfully the trailhead was warmer because the chinook has already started to blow into the mountains!  We had the most wonderful hike and you can see those pictures at the end of this post!  

We've got a brand new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess is the lovely Jen Mitchell!  Jen's cards are so pretty so please head over to her blog and give her some love!  

I had this flower sitting on my desk!  It's the Waffle Flower Aster!  I do love these flowers from Waffle Flower!  They are so easy to use and you can make them whatever colour you want!!!  The picture didn't quite turn out the way I wanted but I was losing daylight!!  Though aren't you super excited that the days are getting longer - at least here in the North they are!!!
