For Japan With Love

I am taking part in The Bloggers Day of Silence tomorrow as a way of showing respect for the people of Japan who have been affected by the earthquake and tsunami. The lovely Rachie at at A Chi Chi Affair brought this to my attention. The initiative, For Japan With Love, has been organized by Lydia from Ever-Ours and the bloggers at Utterly Engaged.
For more information and to find out how to donate to this most worthy cause see here.
