Hi Barbara. Wow, what a reading list! This must have taken you some time to prepare with all these links — your little mouse was stirring 🙂 I’m proud to be included in this lineup. Happy holidays to everyone, and to you Barbara.
Davina´s last blog post..A Positively Dysfunctional Christmas
I was and am so honored to be on that now extensive list!
In the last 8 months I’ve honed my interests to including mostly photography. I’ve dropped the recipes and book reviews but still love to sprinkle my family and work amidst the pretty pics.
I will always be grateful for the added Oomph you gave my blog! Thanks so much Barbara for the hard work and the prayers for my littlest one.
May you and your family have a peaceful and joyous holiday!
