Bloom Where You Are Planted

Here's my style inspiration of the week:  flowers doing their thing in and around my neighborhood.

Not much is going on for me this week, or rather TOO much, as I've been nursing a 3 day migraine. OUCH. 

On a happier note, I'd like to thank all you wonderful folks who read and follow this blog. I just noticed that I passed the 100 count on Blogger, 120 to be exact. Seems like last week when i was puffing away at 80, so A BIG WELCOME and THANK-YOU to all the people who've recently add me to their blog-rolls. I SO appreciate each and every one of you and all of your kind, positive & friendly comments!  To celebrate, I think I'll be hosting my first Citizen Rosebud give-away, so stay tuned!

And while you're tuning, let me ask you: what's your inspiration lately?
