  14. Ok, I cked back & link back open for 1 hr so I linked and noticed that I'm the only one with 3 entries. Well, each day I linked at the end of each part of the hop but did it on each individual day post. Hope I'm not breaking any rules but after each day it indicated to add link so that is what I did. Enjoyed the blog hop and got many wonderful ideas.
