Saturday Sparks Link Party 113

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 113!

I am blown away by the amazing projects, ideas, recipes and transformations that are shared each week. The willingness to link up and share your knowledge with others is such a generous and kind gesture.    "Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see." ~ Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)    

 Now, lets get this weeks party started.

First up, the Fabulous Features from Saturday Sparks 112.
