I am linking this post up to Friday Tickled Pink Link Party with Holly Lefevre   www.504main.com . The Infinity Scarf Many of you bloggers probably know what an infinity scarf is. For those who do not, it is a neck-scarf which forms a circle or circles(as in the case of the scarf on which this tutorial is based). If you have been shopping lately, you have probably seen these scarves in many of the stores. It is probably not a new invention in the world of style and, but has seen a revival and soaring in popularity lately, and with good reason. It is a very chic accessory and can serve to make an enormous fashion statement, jazzing up that plain shirt, blouse or dress.  There are many tutorials out there, including some videos on the internet, which show how one of these versatile pieces of apparel is put together.

This past weekend was pretty busy. We spent the early part of Friday afternoon in Columbia, S.C., doing a little shopping to help out the Easter Bunny.Friday night, we were invited to Aiken's downtown area by my friend, Harriette, and her family of barbecue cooking marvels "Smokin' Stacks"  for some great food and fun.

Earlier this month, I was surprised, happy and honored to be nominated by two fellow bloggers for something known as a Liebster Award. From what research I have done on this blog award I find that the first stipulation is that the blog nominee must have fewer than 200 followers(like me).

The first person to nominate me was the wonderfully talented Maria Nazareth of Maria's Creations at  http://mscreations27.blogspot.com . This sweet lady
