Rerun: Sparklies

Even though I may not play along every time, I always, always appreciate when I am tagged in a post. It goes against my natural Leoline nature but, I frequently bow out of the requisite "about moi" Q&A's knowing ya'll can only take so much. But, my favorite girl, and PTH bud, Queen Bee Swain devised such a clever game that I just couldn't resist playing along this time...

Sooo...here are my magic sparklies Katie. I'm sharing in hopes everyone will take a moment to make their own "gratitude" list cuz, ya know what they say? Being grateful attracts more things into your life to be grateful for. That's my story and I'm sticking with it...

Kindness of Queen Bee Swain. I could have just as easily cut and pasted your entire sparklies list Missy! Birds of a white bikini feather and all that...XXOO
