Picture Perfect Party Linky #4

Amanda enjoying a sunny winter picnic in our front yard

Amanda loves having a picnic. One day the sun came out and chased away the winter chill. I decided to make a special picnic just for her and me before her brother and sisters got home from school. It was her idea to decorate with the vase of flowers that were picked from our garden. In case you didn't know, it's winter here in South Africa where we live. Even in winter, Amanda insists on wearing dresses, so often I just layer her with enough clothes and then add a dress that she has chosen.

This is a blog hop.

      Thanks Jamie! Just to say, we scrapped the theme idea to make it easier for people to link up. Have a great day!

    Hi, Christina thanks so much for including me in your link up post. Adorable collage. In Florida it is the exact opposite of you, August is our hottest month. I cannot wait for it to cool down.

      We will be in Florida next year June - July. I am not looking forward to the heat and humidity. We'll be visiting my mom and my step-dad who have a place there. I wish you many cool places to escape to during the heat!

      Thanks Pamela! I was already one of your followers, but since you have two blogs, I took the effort to find the other one from your Google profile and follow it too. I think it looks like a really nice blog! Wishing you a blessed weekend!

      I'm glad I could help! I'm still new to all these things. I'm kind of learning on the run. I got up this morning at 6:30 to check out my blog comments and to post on some of my blogs and now it's 12pm and I still need to jump into the shower and get dressed! That's been my Saturday so far. :)

      By the way, I'll be hosting a Saturday blog hop on this blog later today if you want to join. I also need to find a way to get more people interested. I'll be using that tip that I gave you. I hope it makes a big difference! Have a great day!
