Be A Blessing To Others
Happy February dear friends!
Although February is the shortest month of the calendar year,
It’s the perfect time to think about the small ways we can make a
Big impact on the people that God has place in our lives!
One blogger who left an indelible impression
On my heart this week was Pamela Kuhn with her
New blog, Sheltered Postmarked.
The purpose of this website is to encourage others
To join her in continuing her mother’s legacy of
Sending cards and letters filled with love, cheer and encouragement
To those in need and to count your postmarks!
The link takes you to the first post on Pamela’s blog –
I encourage you to follow the entire thread –
And if you feel moved to do so,
Consider joining her in this fabulous project!
Trisha – 50 Ways To Show Your Neighbor Kindness
Trisha at Intoxicated On Life has also prepared a fabulous list of things we can do to show our neighbors kindness this Valentine’s Day!
Of course, there’s so many wonderful acts of kindness on this list, there’s no reason we should limit them to a single day of the year!
Are you looking for a party-pleasing dish that
Everyone from your pickiest children to your carb-loving gal pals
To the sports-frenzied guys in your home will love?

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

You’re welcome Pam – you’re food always looks so good (and there are always so many wonderful recipes to choose from) and your photography is always so gorgeous – I wish you could cook for me!
Thank you so so much for the feature of How I Bullet Journal in my planner. I’m so excited to be able to offer planning ideas that help others out and a coupon code for 10% off a Plum Paper Planner purchase. It was such fun and a lot of effort to write the post and it’s so nice of you to recognize it with a feature!! Thanks for another great linkup! Have a great week!
You’re welcome Tanya – your feature was filled with so many practical ideas (and a peek inside the gorgeous Plum Paper Planner) – so glad I could share it for you! 🙂
Great party, as usual! Thanks again for hosting 🙂
I LOVE the quote about being a blessing to others that you opened your post with. Is it copyright free, so that I can use it in my art journal to feature in one of my posts? Blessings!
Nice tribute to Glenn Frey 🙂 I always liked The Eagles stuff growing up
Have a eagletastic day 🙂
What a great party this week, I am loving all the features. The one that caught my eye is the Hearts and Roses, so cute!!!
Hope you have a great week!

Isn’t that lovely? One of my faves too!
Not sure if you could pass this on to Pam Kuhn… but I tried several times to comment on her new blog. It keeps saying “publishing” but then comes back up and refuses to go through. I don’t see an email address on her blog…. Momentarily I saw something to check about not being a robot, but it disappeared before I could check it. This may be keeping her from getting other comments too…
Hi Pam,
Sorry that you’re having trouble commenting on her blog – perhaps you could try reaching her through one of her social media accounts or try connecting on a different browser?
Thanks for hosting! Hope you have an amazing week 🙂
Hello cute lady! Thank you for hosting such an amazing party! We would love to see you at our party that starts tonight @7 pm and goes until Friday @7. We pin and tweet every post! Happy Day! Lou Lou Girls
Thank you so much for featuring me. I do hope you will have time this year to join in the Glory Art challenge, its monthly so here’s hoping 🙂 Thanks so much for hosting and putting all this amazing inspiration together. Blessings to you.
My pleasure Susan! I’m looking forward to finding some time to craft right now – have not had a free moment since the new year’s begun!
