Light that lamp !

I needed an ice hockey player for an ice hockey mad friend turning 65.  Cue Kenny K.  Just what I had in mind.  I'm hoping I got the Wightlink Raiders colours right - or it will be a puck in the eye for me !

Expecting...

One of my team members is expecting a baby.  She call's her bump Baby Bean.  This does make me smile.
Anyway, it seems to have become a small tradition that I make leaving cards.  So here's the latest.
I think I'm starting to get a grip with hair colouring.  Skin tones need perfecting next.
