This week we have fabulous sponsor with us again and we are so glad she is joining us.  Pattie is one of our DT members as well!
Our sponsor this week is Pattie's Creations


and here's a bit about Pattie in her own words...
"I am an Internet Technology Professional and an Artist. I always dreamed of being an artist, but I found out quickly that I needed another field to support my family so I pursued a Degree in Information Technology. I love to use Adobe Photoshop and Fireworks to enhance my work. I just recently started selling my very own digital images and I am so excited to be here sponsoring the Dutch Dare Challenge.
I created a character called Pattieboop and her cat named Allie. I have had so much fun coming up with different images so I also created a site to sell them. You can go to my store to find out more about Pattieboop & Allie. I know you will just love them when you see them.
Pattie's work is wonderful, I encourage you to stop by her shop and have a look at everything she has to offer, you won't be disappointed!

Here are a few samples from our DT...showcasing some of Pattie's fabulous images.
