Laura's Sketch 6




Laura's Candy Bag
Created with the Fabulous
Scor-it!

We are on to week two with our fabulous Design Team! The ladies blew us away last week with their jaw-dropping takes on Kazan's sketch! Prepare yourselves to be amazed by their lovely creations this week!
Along with 2S4Y's first ever
Guest Designer
Lindsay Spencer!

{A fun random fact about Lindsay}
Lindsay says... "I'm a social nut case. When I get into a situation where there could possibly be silence, I feel uncomfortable, so I start to talk. I talk and talk and talk. I share personal information with people that I would rather them not know. I then leave and feel like the people I was just with will never want to hang out again. So to attempt to make myself feel better about my running mouth, I call them the next day. Once again, I get nervous and Yak,Yak, Yak. Could someone please teach me how to shut my mouth!"

Lindsay 2S4Y loves your outgoing personality - we don't think you are a "social nut case" - Thanks for all the fun and energy you bring to your work each week.
