Saturday Sparks Link Party 163

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 163!

It's that time of the week to show off your latest creative accomplishment and find inspiration within the linkups that others share.

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." ~ Leo Buscaglia
