Day 14. “It’s All About You” & Winners

IMG_0795

Hello Friends, How are you today? If you are from the US a feeling of love is in the air because it’s Valentines Day. I think of it as a “Hallmark” holiday or these days a Social Media holiday. Either way it’s a great occasion to tell you all how wonderful, creative and supportive I think you all are. Today just happens to be Sunday and it’s my new feature called “It’s All About You” so grab a good cup a something and prepare to be dazzled.

Winners will be announced at the bottom of today’s post 🙂

———————————————————————————————-

Ok let’s get started …. I was so delighted to hear that so many of you like this feature and thanks for weighing in. If I feature someone twice it’s because it takes to much time to see who’s work I shared last week plus my memory isn’t that good lol. There is so much talent and this is just a teeny tiny sampling of what I am seeing so please keep that in mind. I love what you are doing 🙂
