Saturday Sparks Link Party 118

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 118!

I believe that every person has been blessed with the gift of creativity. Finding those unique talents and embracing those skills can lead to a joy filled life. Sharing those creative moments with others will bring about a lifetime of inspiration.   "There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age." ~ Sophia Loren  

 Now, lets get this weeks party started.
