And here's a fabulous shot of my adorable niece Zara holding a tea party for her guinea pigs Ella and Bella ...

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 98: Blogging

Lots of blogging as usual and today was a review of The Collected Works of A J Fikry by Gabrielle Levin, which I loved.





And the sunset was divinely beautiful - loved the pinks and blues ...

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 22: Kudos from an author

One of the books Steve gave for Christmas was Looking For Calvin and Hobbes by Nevin Martell which was excellent. I loved every word of it and the review reflected that.

So I was SO excited to get feedback and retweeting from him. Wonderful!






And Rachel sent through this fabulous shot of Bodhi and Jordan at play.

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 171 - Back to the past ... or future?

Way back when I was a child, I love borrowing these books from the library and reading them over and over. So today I paid tribute to Nils-Olof Franzen and his wonderful, quirky creation Again Sax on sparklyprettybriiiight.com

My pop culture blog, sparklyprettybriiight.com goes from strength to strength.
