Goooooooooooood morning everyone!! It's time for me to share the newest Sketches In Thyme sketch with you, and if you stick around until the end of my post, there's a giveaway! This one is a two pager and I took inspiration from the left side for my page about three little fishies...

How adorable is that? ;) If you can believe it, this photo is from 2008! My girls were super excited to visit their Aunt Amy that day because she surprised them and their cousin Kasey with a pop-up pool in the backyard! They all love to be in the water, so everyone was super happy about it and stayed in there pretty much all Summer long, lol...
So what do you think of the sketch? If it inspires you to create something, we'd love to see it! You have until the end of the month to link up your project inspired by any of this month's sketches over at the Sketches In Thyme blog, and if you do you'll be in the running for a great prize! So what are you waiting for? Go get creative! :)
Ohhhhh wait a minute, I did say something about a giveaway didn't I? ;) Ok, well if you have a few minutes to spare before getting those creative juices get flowing, I've got one for you!!

Happy birthday, April!!! LOVE your layout! My favorite birthday present was the present I received from my husband in 2012--a Nook and a surprise party with all of my friends! It was our last year in California, and it was the perfect gift. I hope your birthday is a great one!!!
Happy Birthday April! My best birthday gift was my youngest son being born four days after my birthday. He was due on my birthday, but waited for his own day. Ann O. annmsann2001@yahoo.com

Happy Birthday! I have never really had anyone do anything for my Birthday, but that's OK! I have 7 beautiful blessings in my life, from 3-19. That's all a woman needs!

Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas! God Bless You.
Happy Birthday April. Love the Giveaway. The MME 6x6 is one of the few pads I don't own. lol. Birthday memories for me are of some cakes. My aunt made me a Barbie cake once. A doll in the center of a standing up cake made to look like her gown. Also one year she made me a Panda Bear.
Thanks for chance to win.

Great layout, April! I love that Fancy Pants paper with that picture. My favorite birthday gift was number 25. A puppy from my love ;)
My daughter was born eight days before my birthday. So she's the best birthday gift. But my Dad bought me a beautiful turquoise necklace once for a birthday gift. That was special too. Happy birthday to you! Hope you had a great day.
My favorite birthday gift was my new wedding from hubby! :-)

Happy Birthday! I love this layout, those fish are absolutely adorable :) Great take on the PSS cool shades challenge!
Great layout! I hope your birthday was extra special. One year my precious youngest daughter was in a kick of wrapping her favorite things and giving them as gifts (she was about 4). That year I received a penguin beanie baby from her and I knew that I was truly special to her.
May your Christmas be filled with joy.

Fun layout! That Echo Park collection is one of my all time faves!
My favorite birthday present had to be when my hubby replaced my gold chain that had been stolen. I think I cried for hours. I never take it off now. :)
Happy Birthday!
