Fabulous House Designs

Hello all, and happy Friday to you! 

I’m going to make things short and sweet today.  I don’t have highlights from last week’s party today.  Once the new site goes live, I’ll be posting those link party highlights in a different, more prominent way.  So that means today we can get right to the party!

A few reminders:

1. Link only things that you have done yourself…diy projects, room makeovers, recipes, etc.;
2. Only link projects that are new to A2D (repeats will be deleted);
3. Link to a specific post (permalink), not to your general blog URL;
4. Be aware that I may use your photo on other areas of the A2D website and/or the A2D Facebook Page;
5. Grab a button and add it to your post (or your sidebar, or wherever);
6. Be sure to visit others and leave comments!!

This had grown all the way along the chain link fence to colonise at least eight neighbouring gardens.

Now that Californias Redevelopment Association (CRA) has doubled down and lost its bet with the California Supreme Court, leading to the scrapping of all the states CRAs, building projects across the state are in severe jeopardy. There are about 400 municipal redevelopment agencies in the state.
