Joe, Peter and I would like to wish you a very good morning. First, I have to tell you that our new linky party will be premiering next Friday. We had an emergency here and our attention had to be placed elsewhere. I will not bore you with those details. I feel really badly since I said it would be today but I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me! I am just glad that I got A Morning Cup Of Joe Up. Our new Linky Party is going to be called The Creme de la Craft with a tag line of: “Where your best posts shine — and friends help them sparkle.” We will run in bi/monthly to see how it does and go from there. Does this sound good to everyone? Also if you don’t like the name or tag line… please feel free to share ok! Once again I am terribly sorry about this but it couldn’t be done the way it should and I did not just want to throw it up there. Hope you can forgive me! Sending hugs and love to you all and know that you are appreciated and seen here! So happy to have you as part of the family!
