Tuesday Treasures: Simple Beauty

“Tuesday Treasures” is a weekly series. It is such a fun uplifting title that I can’t resist using it! I have a few snippets of information and inspiration to share with you today. This week’s focus: SIMPLE BEAUTY.

Fresh

• As you may have noticed, A Beautiful Ripple Effect is undergoing a little makeover :). I was hoping to have it finished by March 1st (my birthday – big 25!), but got a stomach bug (really bad so I’ve been in bed since Wed night) — so hopefully by March 8th! I hope you enjoy the changes being made to enhance your experience on the blog. I will reveal all the wonderful people working on the changes next week – an amazing team of very talented individuals!
