• Kristy from Eat, Play, Love - Kristy’s fun accounts of her family cooking together are fascinating. 
  

• Heather from Olive and Ollie - Heather’s lovely quilting brings back memories of my own grandmothers’ quilting.  She also has links to tutorials for some of the projects that she showcases.
  

• Michigan in Pictures – Being from Michigan, I just love the pictures and history posted here.
  

• Melissa from Everlasting Felicity - Melissa is a good friend who I always knew was creative and thoughtful; I just didn’t realize how so until she started her own blog.

Thanks to all those who follow my blog.
