Updates, updates!

I have an obsession with lists. And with so many wonderful things that have happened over the last weekend, I thought that I should share by making one to let you know what a fantastic week I had.

Yes! Pikaland was blogged on Bloesom by the lovely Irene. We live in the same city and I can’t wait to meet up with her for coffee one day. Thank you so very much Irene!

I just found out a way to have Pikaland’s post go right to your email inbox — and it’s as easy as can be. If you take a looky to the left of the blog under “pikaland direct!”, just type in your email and click subscribe, you’re well on your way to receiving fresh Pikaland posts whenever the site is updated!
