Saturday Sparks Link Party 55

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 55! Spring has arrived and with it a renewed energy. It seems that people are smiling more and taking the time to stop and savor the moment, which is always a good thing.  Last weeks party had many of you welcoming Spring.

Now, onto the Fabulous Features from Saturday Sparks 54.
