Lucky Linky December 28

 I've missed my blogging friends!  It's been one crazy December starting with about a 3 week flu.  I volunteered to be on a donations committee for our PTA carnival and had to get all the donations letters stuffed and mailed so being sick came at a very inopportune time!

Today I finally feel caught up and ready to get back to blogging.  I can't wait to see what you've been working on this week! 

Lucky Linky December 7

 Welcome to the first week of December 2010!  Have you received any holiday cards yet?  We've gotten 3 or 4 already (as mine are still sitting waiting to be mailed on my counter..).  I usually have a wall hanging cloth thingy with pockets that my cards go in.  Last week one of our partiers, Megan from  The Brassy Apple linked a tutorial to her greeting card display holder made with burner covers.  I thought this was great!

Lucky Linky Tuesday November 30: Salt Dough Ornaments from Ador

Salt dough ornament from Melissa at Ador.

Welcome to Lucky Linky!  I hope everyone had a safe and fun Thanksgiving weekend.  I was able to visit my hometown of Shelby Twp., MI and see my family while my husband and brother-in-law drove down to State College to see Michigan State *beat* Penn State.  Yay Sparty's!!!!

I can't wait for this week's edition of LLT!  Holiday time is my favorite time for crafts.  Last week Melissa from Ador shared her instructions for making salt dough ornaments.  These  remind me of childhood and my mom.  Melissa has more to share at her blog, ADOR. 

What do you have to share today?  I ask that you link to a post, not your home page.  Your post needs to be something you created, cooked, invented (cool!), painted, fixed up, decorated...anything you put your creative mind to work on.   Please share as many posts as you want and visit others who have also posted here.  Thank you and have a wonderful week!

Lucky Linky...almost Wednesday??!

Welcome to Thanksgiving week...surprise, surprise..my husband decided to take the week off.    This is the first chance I've had to get to a computer today because we've been getting things done around the house that have needed to be done for a while.  I don't think my husband realizes how much I'm normally on the computer during the day( lol )!


Last week the post that stood out most was from Rusty Rooster Vintage.  I really liked her Santa book wreath and photographs of her booth at a recent show....gorgeous and inspiring!

Well, if you're here to link up, welcome, and excuse my tardiness.  I can't wait to see what you've been working on!

Picture from Leanne at Organize and Decorate Everything



Welcome to another week of November Lucky Linky.  Last week I saw a lot of turkeys, a few Christmas ideas starting to pop up, and a lot of just generally CUTE ideas.  (love CUTE!). 

One of my favorite ideas was this old window used to hold photos.  Check out Leanne from
Organize and Decorate Everything for her super easy instructions.  I love how the photos all have muted tones and the white border.  Super charming Leanne!!

I want to see what you've been up to!  Please link a recent creative post from your blog...or two or three.  I look through and choose my favorite..or at least do my best...sometimes I have a sick child or am out of town or something...but I do my absolute best.  It's all meant to be fun and inspiring, which is what I hope you all feel about blogging and visiting me here.  

I hope you have a very creative and inspired day, friends! 

LLT November 9

 Welcome to this week's edition of LLT.   The holidays are right around the corner and I'm already starting to get a little nervous about getting everything done.    I've started early with the shopping and have a weekly list for myself to stay on track.  Most of what I want to do is make things, shop, and bake for people I care about.   
What other things do you do around the holidays (or anytime) to show the people you care about how much they mean to you?  I would love to hear your holiday traditions!

LLT November 2

Happy Election Day!  Last week was full of great ideas..thanks to everyone who participated.  

This week I chose to feature this lovely wintery rosy wreath made from discarded wool sweaters and dollar store snowflakes created by Ellen.  Besides her creative projects,  Ellen also has some inspiring creative quotes listed on her blog, Creative Passage.     I noticed she lives in a town I spent some time in my first year of school when I went to Stephens College.  One thing I remember about the school is the ENORMOUS room full of antique and vintage couture clothing.  I would love to back and see it again sometime.    

Okay we have an update!  This wreath was chosen as a Top 10  Iron Crafters: Secret Ingredient Sweaters   at Fireflies and Jelly Beans.  Please go vote for Ellen's wintery rosy wreath!

What have you been crafting this week?  Please link your creative posts below.  The linky stays open until Sunday so even if you don't have something ready now, you can always come back when you finish.  Have a wonderful week!

LLT October 26

 Hello!  I'm definitely having a repeat of last week because now I have the other child home from school sick.  These are the days I am so thankful I stay home because when I worked outside the home this would have been a huge issue (my old job wasn't the type you could just get up and leave. )  My husband can't really do that either (unless it's for golf..lol).   Last week was a fun week to look through posts and I indulged a lot of time seeing all of your eye candy.  I loved these felt flowers from Lolly Jane.   

There are so many ways to use these...especially for the upcoming holiday season!

Please link your creative posts here.  We just ask it be a link to a specific post, not your main page.  We also like it to be something you personally created, cooked, baked, painted, fixed up, revamped, or rescued from the trash and made into something useful.  Have a great week! 

Lucky Linky October 19

 Welcome to Lucky Linky!  Today I've got a 6 year old with a cold sitting on my lap  (he wants to play Nick Jr. on the computer).   We're excited to see all of the things you've been creating.  Please link a post from your blog and then visit some links and enjoy!   

Lucky Linky October 12

Welcome to the second week of October Lucky Linky.  I loved looking through last week's posts.  My favorite was a recipe from Jaime at The Baeza Blog. 

 She shows us how to make Halloween cookie bark.  It looks delicious and so festive.   I'm going to make it today if I get all of my work finished...my kids and husband will love it.   

Please link your creative posts below.  If you can visit 2-3 of the other links and leave comments, I'm sure it would really make their day! 

Lucky Linky Tuesday Oct. 5

 

Hi there, crafty people!  This is the first week of October and I am guessing there are a lot of Halloween and pumpkin related projects out there.  I love holidays and Halloween is one of my favorites.  Last year my costume was the drummer from Kiss.  I haven't decided on a  costume yet for this year...any ideas??

Lucky Linky August 31

 Hello! I'm running behind today as you can see by my tardiness in getting the link party up.  My husband likes to surprise me and decided to tell me he's on vacation for the week starting today. I'm happy he's here but we've already washed windows, trimmed bushes, swept the garage, taken a bike ride, went and got coffee, and cooked the kids breakfast.   I usually take my mornings a little easier! :) What have you been up to this week? Please link anything creative you have to share with us.  Don't forget about the Creative Chick Parade starting on September 13! Have a beautiful day!     

Lucky Linky August 17

Hello Everyone! Today is a gorgeous summer day here in Mid Michigan. It would be a great day for a golf outing. (I am jealous my husband is actually playing in one). I played last Friday and had a birdie and parred two holes so now I want to play again. Once you get into golf it does get a little addicting.



Okay time to stop talking about golf and get onto the crafts! I love the time of year approaching because it's not so hot and it's not so cold so I can get out in the garage and do some spray painting. My 7 year old son asked me why I haven't been spray painting anything in awhile. It's been way too hot..that's why! Even though summer is coming to an end, I have to look on the positive side and fall does have many. Spray painting stuff in the garage, tailgating for MSU football, and watching early morning soccer games where my grande coffeee beverage never tastes so good.



What have you been up to this week? What are some of your favorite things about fall? Please feel free to link any of your projects and creations below. We look forward to seeing them!

Lucky Linky August 10

Hello, friends around the blogosphere! I don't know about you but I've been in a really creative mood lately. I feel like refinishing or painting something so I'm lookinag around my basement for an object to tranform. We'll see how that goes.

Please link a recent post from your blog. We're not very picky, just make it family friendly and something you created. We're excited to see what you've been working on!

Lucky Linky Tuesday

I almost can't believe it's Tuesday already. But, at the same time I already wish it was Friday. So sad to be rushing life away, I know. Just the weekdays though, I promise! The weekend goes too quickly...

I always look forward to Tuesdays though because you folks are so creative and inspiring! I loved checking out all of the links, but I was especially pleased to find these:

I have some of these and I hate velcro dipes, so I added this to my to do list!

Creme De Menthe Brownies @ Beat Until Fluffy 

I never need a reason to love chocolate and brownies are my favorite!  These look delicious!

http://craftedition.blogspot.com/2010/07/magnet-accessories.html

  

I love these!  I have some magnetic nametags, so I need to do this!

This Beautiful Kitchen Reno @ The Tidy Nest

I still really want to paint my cabinets! 

Or, better yet, have a magical kitchen reno fairy come and paint my kitchen cabinets.
A girl can dream, right?

I wish I could highlight you all, because you ladies do some amazing stuff! My mom was telling me last week that she thought she was creative until she started reading blogs. With all the crafty and talented people out there, it's easy to feel that way...But, we all have our own unique perspective and can all inspire each other! So, a HUMONGOUS (that's Holden's favorite word right now) thank you to all of you for coming by and inspiring me (and lots of other people who come by too)!  I am incredibly indebted to you all!

PS- Blogger was VERY finicky today and I'm annoyed.  I've read things about other people having problems with it, but hadn't experienced much of it myself until today.  Bad Blogger, bad!  If it shows up weird, that's why!

PPS- Erin's new nephew is likely to be born today...YEAH new babies!

Lucky Linky Tuesday July 27

Good Morning, Friends! It's a great day for some creativity. Please share your posts with us. We can't wait to see what you've been up to this week!

Lucky Linky Tuesday July 6

Hello Crafters and Artists! It's time for another week of LLT. What have you been working on this week? We had a beautiful weekend here in Michigan. I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend as much as we did.

Please link a recent creative post from your blog. Please link to an actual post, not your main page. We love to see creative cooking and baking, home decor, furniture re-do, party decorations, arts or crafts, or anything creative and family friendly you have to share. Please link several posts if you have been busy!

Lucky Linky Tuesday

We're back after our week off of crafting. Michigan summers are so short, we really need to stop and enjoy it while it's here. I watched 10 8U and 9U baseball games within one week and it was so much fun. My oldest son is becoming quite the little catcher and even though he is only seven, he keeps up with the 9 year -olds pretty well. We don't have another tournament until July 9 so I'm sure he'll be having withdrawal until then! ( his dad definitely will from coaching the games).

You're invited to share your creative posts here for our readers to see. We're very open to your ideas....recipes, home improvement, graphics, parties, etc.
Have a fabulous week!
