I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

Stopped by through the “Monday Mingle” Your site has a unique feeling to it. I’m following and grabbing your button.
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!
So glad to share this with everyone, Cherry – I look forward to doing more scrapbooking in the upcoming year!

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.
Thank you so much Wayne! I was so thrilled to get the e-mail from your lovely wife Heather! 🙂
I love that you have this forum! Have a great day!
