GIVEAWAY AND FACES....

It' s my Winter Giveaway TODAY!!!!...leave a comment for a pair of earrings from

BRIGHTON!

The winner will be announced tomorrow! May the Best Blogger Win...well, not really, I am picking the name out of a basket!

********************************************************

One of my favorite blogs "Arthur Clan" has started a new blog called "I love Faces"...Check it out now! It's such a great idea and full of great photography. Today, we are to post one of our favorite faces with Mr. Linky on the new blog.

I chose this one......

I love this picture b/c they have such a special friendship and "sister" love b/t them. YES, they have moments...maybe more than I like to admit. But, they love each other and share life's experiences "holding hands" !
