    Ack! I did it again. I got so busy following the links to your great features that I forgot to come back and submit what I've been up to this week. I love Monday mornings (my day of rest) for the time I get to spend being inspired by all the creativity out there. Thank you so much dear Kathryn for the party. I'm really looking forward to another year of joining you here.
    HUGE blessings to you in 2014,

    I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year Kaythryn, guess what Santa bought me (I bought myself) a DSLR for my blog and I have been so busy shooting everything that doesn't move and some that move. I have linked up a couple of posts, one of a shoot of my little Schnoodle and one of my first interior house tour which is Mediterranean style. Its part one as there was so much to photograph, I am going back again to take more shots next week.

    Glad to link up again.

    Thank you.
