While this week's link-ups are confusing as we have provided link service from both InLinkz and Linky Tools, please note that both will be honoured and eligible for voting and winning this week.  We will be treating them as if they are all linked together in one big, happy family.  The reason for this confusion lies in Linky Tools having disappeared several times during this challenge.  In order to keep things moving, we chose to use both services.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

#46  Arlene (A. Rose)
