Follow Friday ~ Fab Finds for September 11, 2015

Today is Patriot Day, the day we remember the terrible events that took place on September 11, 2001 when our country was attacked and nearly 3,000 people were killed. I wrote a blog post in remembrance of Patriot Day in 2012. If you'd like to read that post, click on the link below. May we never forget!
