Nice stars-- unusual decoration. I got you signed up for the FIFTEEN FANTASY ISLAND FAVORITES album list for May 17th. Linky Tools was apparently down for a while then it started accepting names again. Now your good to go.

The stars are beautiful. I saw some in the Albuquerque airport and immediately wondered where I could hang one!

Cows are cute, Jai!

Thanks, Elizabeth.

Simon, first time I've ever been called a wunderbar - LOL! Just don't call me a Twinkie.

Congratulations on your award, Diane! Very appropriate, since you do add a bit of sunshine through your blog. That's a great photo! Asheville is such a lovely city.

Great photo of the starts, by the way.

Gorgeous photo! I'm sure they were beautiful in person, but the way you captured them--wow! In fact, I'd love to have that on my wall...can I get a copy? It'd look great in my kids playroom.

And thanks for the links! So many to check out! I didn't get to comment yesterday, but I really enjoyed reading your "Tips" post. I got cut off before I could comment. Sorry it's been so long!
