Thanks for visiting, and helping promote, the Soup to Nuts Progressive Dinner Blog Carnival. I appreciated what I hope will be the first of your comments on my posts.

Have you had a look at my photography site, A Photographer's Eye? We'll be rebuilding it soon, keep the best of it and fixing the rest.

What do you say to exchanging some links. Shoot me over an email, link in my profile.
