How could we possibly forget you, Quiggy? 🙂 Actually, because we are 3 host sites that cover 3 days of hosting, we divvy up the list amongst the 3 days otherwise the 2nd and 3rd days would have nothing to do. So I believe you are going on the 2nd day- tomorrow, hosted by Aurora.

Hi Kellee
Is it too late to add another for tomorrow or Sunday? I didn’t think I could find the time this month to write a post. However, I worked on it today; and, I will publish tomorrow 😊

No, not too late! Aurora hosts today ( http://www.aurorasginjoint.com ) and depending upon when you publish, it may be added to today’s or added to Paula’s ( http://www.PaulasCinemaClub.com ) on Sunday. Be sure to alert them when you post with your link and twitter handle, if you have that. What’s the topic?
