Our run of extreme hot weather finally broke today and we had some cool winds and a drop of four or five degrees in temperature which is so welcome.

Thank goodness for the Peace On Earth Christmas Sketch Challenge's bi-monthly anything goes challenge. Just the thought of making another Christmas card literally kept me cool in my craft room. Here is their wonderful mood board:
