12 of 12, April 2015 Edition

My 40th “12 of 12”! And it’s a Sunday.

The 12 of 12 Challenge was created by Chad Darnell and picked up from a number of random bloggers who then linked back to him and vice versa. Chad stopped doing the 12 of 12 links in December of 2011, but passed the torch to someone else who sadly hasn’t been keeping up with it. So as always, I’m giving my shout-out to Blobby of Blobby’s Blog as he is the one who inspired me to do it. And still does.

All pictures were taken with my iPhone 6. I upgraded! Woo hoo! Now I can take real pictures… 😉

A wise man once told me, ‘Family don’t end in blood.’ But it doesn’t start there either. Family cares about you, not what you can do for them. Family’s there: for the good, bad, all of it. They got your back, even when it hurts. That’s family.

Thank you to @paintitmatteblack for the awesome Japanese-style Doctor Who painting. I’m seriously thinking about this for my left arm now.
