Ramona,
Thank you for honoring our post on chronic illness. I am glad that you enjoyed it and were “inspired it” to possibly create a board simply for chronic illnesses. Like you said…one never knows until they walk in another persons shoes. Thank you so much. I hope you have an amazing week this week!

Welcome Lynn – we’re so glad you found us! 🙂
I love the Dream piece you have created. Your book reviews are also quite timely. Many of us suffer from these debilitating illnesses.

Thanks Elizabeth – I’m so glad you stopped by!
I actually have created a few more pieces but have been so busy I haven’t had a chance to post them! 🙂
I tried to let you know I stopped by yesterday, but like yesterday, I got caught off. It appears my computer and I are fighting again!
Thanks, again, for this linkup – and, also, for spotlighting my digital scrapbooking post “Trip to Texas”! That was fun to see!

Great post! I see several recipes I want to try (I am not too crafty outside the kitchen).
Stopping by from Thirsty for Comments Thursday…
There are some great DIY sites listed here. My nephew would love the numbered bean bags to play with. We are constantly looking for fun, and engaging things for him to do!
Joy, it was great highlighting your blog on the Thirsty for Thursday! I always enjoy visiting this corner of the web.
