Saturday Sparks Link Party 122

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 122 and Happy Fourth of July!

Today is the day we celebrate our independence as a nation and reflect on the sacrifices of those that have given so much.  May you enjoy your day with family and friends and the freedoms that we have all been blessed with.

 "Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom."
~ Albert Einstein
  
 Now, lets get this weeks party started.

First up, the Fabulous Features from Saturday Sparks 121.



A Day By The Sea at While I Linger. Jolena and her husband had a lovely day strolling through a sea side village in Rhode Island.



What Is The Secret To Taking Those Glamour Shots at A Stroll Thru Life. Marty studied several eye catching home decor photos and shows us how they all shared a common theme.



Home Office at Stylish Revamp. Kathy and her husband transformed an unused formal living room into a home office. This space is now Kathy's favorite room and I certainly understand why - it's beautiful!


You Know Your Place Setting is Southern When...(And a Giveaway) at Thistlewood Farms. KariAnne shows us a lovely Southern themed tablescape she created after being inspired by a newly discovered book.



Transform an Old Glass Container into a Beautiful Piece using Gold Spray Paint at From Evija With Love. Evija shows us how she transformed some glass vases with some gold bling.



How to Make a Ribbon Wand at Little Girl Designs. Jennie is continuing her summer crafting series showing simply made projects such as this 'Ribbon Wand' project that would delight any child.



Mandarin Spinach Salad with Fresh Orange Vinaigrette at Yesterfood. Summer is the season for crisp refreshing salads and Joy is sharing a delicious one.



Blackberry Limeade at Upstate Ramblings. Annie shared a fruit filled recipe for a 'Blackberry Limeade' that would be perfect at any summer party.


Spinach Manicotti at Swanky Recipes. Jessica is sharing a classic comfort food that is great any time of year.



Chicken Penne Florentine at Simply Fresh Dinners. Robyn is taking full advantage of summers bounty with this deliciously fresh and healthy dish.


Strawberry Brownie Skewers at One Little Project. Debbie is sharing a quick and easy idea for a fun summer dessert.

 

Amazingly Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies at To Simply Inspire. Sherri has created a delicious cookie recipe that happens to be good for you. Sounds like a win, win to me!


And finally, a recap of my share from the party - Heather's Story of Hope. In this post, I introduce you to this brave woman, who despite facing her own challenges has made it her mission to help others.
