Welcome to Saturday Sparks 97!
I am a morning person. Sunrises and crisp morning air make me smile. We have a busy house filled with energy most of the day, so perhaps this is why I find myself savoring the quiet moments in the pre dawn hours. Many a morning will find me sipping hot chocolate by a window browsing the links from Saturday Sparks. It has become one of my favorite things to do and I thank all of you for that.

Yay, another morning person! :) I love the quiet in the mornings before the day gets going too...so peaceful. Thank you for featuring me today. I hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am NOT a morning person! I do get up early but I also stay up late. I always plan on going to bed early but then my creative juices start flowing and before I know it it's 1am (or so). It's probably the reason I've developed dark circles under my eyes! I don't get enough sleep! Enough about that...thank you so much for hosting the party! Great features! I hope you have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteI am sitting here enjoying my quiet time and coffee as I type :-) Thank you for including my Old Fashioned Snowball Cookies this week. Have a fantastic weekend!
ReplyDeleteI`m with you, Suzanne. I get up ridiculously early and in the warmer months, I love to spend the time outdoors when no one is up yet. The peace and quiet is so good for the soul.
ReplyDeleteAnother day of beautiful images and I cannot wait to visit that wreath along with the others. I think I need a bite of that snowball cookie too!
Thanks so much for including me. I hope your weekend is fabulous!
Thank you so much for featuring my kitchen renovation!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a morning person - at all - unless I've stayed up all night LOL !!!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful features - I've been in awe of Scrapality's talent with pallet wood for a long time
Thanks so much for the party - have a great weekend

I get the most done in the mornings. There is just something about a fresh start of the day that gets me motivated. Thank you so much for featuring my post today. Such a wonderful thing to wake up to! Enjoy your weekend!

Suzanne, I can't believe you mentioned getting up early and browsing Saturday Sparks. It's the absolute second thing I do every Saturday morning (after grabbing a cup of coffee, of course). I truly enjoy your party, and I appreciate being including in your features this week! Now I'm going to go pin those snowballs, find out how to make lard and olive oil soap, then remodel my kitchen. ;) Maybe just the first two. Happy Saturday, Suzanne!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne, you're features are always so beautiful and delicious looking!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the party and hope you have a sweet weekend.

I find I'm only a morning person on Saturdays when I don't have to go to work! The other days, I have to drag myself out of bed but when I have a day to stay home, I love getting up early so there's more time to do what I want...which also includes checking out your blog and those linked here! Thanks for hosting! Great features!
ReplyDeleteHope your 2015 is off to a great start! Thanks so much for featuring my best Pinterest recipes!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Suzanne! Thanks for including my post on lard and olive oil soap in your features! I added another one about rebatching soap today. Thank you also for hosting the blog party. Have a great weekend!
