that 'slightly crazy' thing that you both have going on, will come in very handy!

Gayle will be back asap to add anything I've missed and also to announce the winner of the last challenge.

So for today I can maybe be the Sugar Stepmama?

If you've all been reading the Sugar Nellie blog then you will know that there are some new images due to be released on July 1st...

Good Morning Sugar Bowl addicts!

Just to let you know that my Sweet Sugar Mama Gayle, has no broadband in her area, and it may well be several hours before it's working again. Now Gayle is super-organized and todays post and the new sketch is scheduled to appear at 9am, but Gayle bobs on in the morning and does the random thing to pick a winner for the last sketch.

Gayle will back as soon as broadband is working again to pick a winner.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Love Elaine

ETA....Thanks Elaine but, finally I am here....so very sorry for the delay!

and our winner is....a very regular contributor.....
