Once Upon A Sketch - Oct 15th

Evening girls.
I have had an awesome day today.
One of my bridesmaids whom I have not seen for years came over with her family for dinner.
Between children, work and life we lost contact but recently started chatting again.  She has a boy who is my twin's age and a girl who is 13 days younger than my daughter so they thought it was pretty awesome too.
And it was like we had seen each other yesterday.  We began our friendship at 15 when we worked at the Supermarket together and honestly, apart from maturing.....well a little bit, we have not changed.
I can't wait for many more catch ups.

So I am here to share our next challenge at Once Upon a Sketch. When I first read this challenge I had no idea where I would go with it but then I realised that I had the perfect story.  My everyday.

Journalling criteria: A most embarrassing/awkward/uncomfortable moment. Journal at least 2 SENTENCES on a moment that you will remember for all the wrong reasons. Examples: something you said/did, something your child said, something your pet did etc.You must combine our journalling criteria with this sketch.

I don't ooze a lot of self confidence so when I meet somebody for the first time or in a group if the focus is on me, I blush.  Not just red but beetroot.  And just the other day, after I had created this page, I was at a 3rd Birthday Party with my daughter and son.  I was talking to the other mums and whatever I said made me blush a little, just a little.  Then DS turned around and said "Mum, why are you going so red?"  Innocent enough hey?  Well the little bit went to a whole lot and I may have even been purple in the end.

I have used some gorgeous Imaginarium Design Chipboard flourish and alphas and the gorgeous range of paper from 7 Gypsies.
