A new year and all the excitement and changes that it brings!
We had THE MOST amazing holiday over New Year....we were in Orlando for 2 weeks courtesy of lots of hard work on my hubby's behalf in the last quarter at work!! We hired a house for the 2 weeks-which was way cheaper than the hotel route (especially with the R at R8.50 to the $!) We did what every tourist does when visiting Orlando and visited all the parks...Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Seaworld, Universal and Islands of Adventure, Wet n Wild...it was such fun seeing everyting that I've only ever seen on TV and movies etc. The gannets and hubby rollercoasted themselves into oblivion (I was the bag-lady and photographer...I don't do loops etc!)
We also shopped....Orlando Premium Outlets, Krispy Kreemes... I bought a leather jacket for $33 on sale, which is one-fifth of what it would cost me at home! It was a "rollercoaster" 2 weeks and my body is still halfway across the Atlantic, unfortunately, so sleep is a luxury at the moment.

| Always the photographer...never let a good photo opportunity go to waste! |
The cherry on the top was the Art shopping! There are so many markers etc available in the States that I drool over but just can't get, so I had a field day in the art shops!
I bought a set of coloured Micron 0.1 pens. lePlume double ended markers(brush and fibre tip), a set of 24 Sharpie ultrafine and 2 books!
So to commemorate my new aquasitions, this weeks Challenge, and my first of the year was done using my Sharpie markers. The DIva had us doing a duo tangle - not my favourite - she always seems to find tangles that I don't like doing or can't seem to draw! Bunzo "grew" on me, however, as I drew it sort of developed a life of its own!
