Saturday Sparks Link Party 96

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 96! There is a feeling of excitement in the air as we begin a new year. We see things with a new perspective and have a sense of determination that drives us to achieve our goals. It seems that we are fully charged and ready to take on the world.  Looking forward to seeing what the new year brings out in all of you.

Now, onto the Fabulous Features from Saturday Sparks 95.

Top 10 Healthy Eats of 2014 at Simply Fresh Dinners. Robyn is sharing her Reader's Choice Top 10 recipes of 2014 with the promise of sharing many more healthy and delicious recipes in the coming year.

A Year Review at My Piece of Vintage Prairie. Alexandra takes a look back at 2014 and shares some of her favorite photos from the year. Prepare to be inspired as her photography is just beautiful.

DIY Cork Coasters at Emily Franceschini. Emily shares her color blocked cork coasters. This is a quick and easy project that would make a lovely gift.

Mini Raisin Bun at Treat and Trick. Nora shares her recipe for 'Mini Raisin Bun's' which she says are great for breakfast or as a snack.

5 Minute Caramel Popcorn at Lou Lou Girls. Cassie shares her grandmothers recipe for a  quick and easy Caramel Popcorn that should satisfy any sudden cravings for the sweet treat.

Slow Cooker Saucy Meatballs at Luv a Bargain. Sherri is sharing a quick and easy appetizer recipe that would be perfect for 'game day'.

Christmas Cookies 2014 at Priscillas. I believe that Priscilla wins the award for most beautiful cookie baking with this amazing array of cookies she made for Christmas.

Andes Mint Cookies at Upstate Ramblings. Anne compares a friends recipe for Andes Mint Cookies to one of her family's favorite recipes and decided this recipe is amazing but the jury is still out as to whether one recipe is better than the other.

And finally, a recap of my share from the party - 2014 Reflections. In this post, I take pause and reflect on how I spent some of my time in 2014.
