Misc: Button Collection

In case you are all wondering what happened to the blog buttons :D I've created a separate page for the every growing section. :D I decided instead of placing them all in my sidebar, I gave them a permanent home.

I was thinking of making a slideshow out of the buttons but I can't find a tutorial that's easy enough to follow yet. :D

Monday Morning Flash Fiction Challenge Image (2)

Dottie over at Tink's Place posted the latest MMFC image for the week,

which came from Anna. The colors are vibrant don't you think? It's dramatic and seems to have an enchanting feel at the same time or was it because of the elf at the background. :D Well, to me, he looked like an elf. It's enough to entice me to write something more about Yarel before The Fury of The Lost. :D

For more about this challenge and rules hop to Tink's Place. :D
