Friday Frivolity - Spider Edition

It's time for this week's edition of Friday Frivolity - the blog party for all things fun, funny, hopeful & happy!

Just wait until you see what we dug up for this week's theme...

At last week's party, we got into a spring-cleaning mood (or in my case, a spring cleaning avoidance mood!)

Now, it's National Be Kind to Spiders Week, so we're sharing all sorts of things about those little eight-legged creepy crawlies.

Do spiders freak you out? They don't bother me too much, but I wouldn't exactly want to let them crawl all over me or something...

Now time for the new stuff!
