A Sparkle Note

I love to take pictures of my everyday life. My blog is more visual and less words. Pictures and Images are how I like to tell my story.

I am happy to share my photos with you. All Photography and Graphic Design are originals for Sparkle is the New Black, unless otherwise noted.

My one ask is that if you do use images/photography from my blog, please credit and link back.
