Wishing you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jean.

A huge part of this fab blog hop has been meeting new blog friends,  finding new projects, and catching up with friends from last year and earlier. I hope you have all enjoyed it as much as I have, and have saved some good ideas for nearer to Christmas.

There was no feline supervision needed, but just in case, here is Basil

Quotation of the day, author unknown

“ Old friends are Gold,

New friends are Diamonds,

If Diamonds  come into  your life,

remember the Gold,

as every Diamond needs a Gold setting to hold it firm.”

Greetings from Jean.

and for the overseas readers, here is the winner.
