Co-Hosting Fluster's Creative Muster Link Party

I'm super excited to be co-hosting this week's Creative Muster Party with Fluster Buster! I hope you'll join us for some link-up fun!

Fantastic Projects from {Wow Me] Wednesday

I said it yesterday, but I'm gonna say it again...

I'm really thrilled to be able to feature other bloggers' awesome projects on my blog today!

I could totally get addicted to this party hosting stuff :)

Yesterday I featured some great recipes. You can check them out here.

Today I'm featuring some fantastic craft and makeover projects that were linked to the party.

You all are just so, SO creative! :)

Here are my favorites...

You have to take a peek at Knick of Time Interiors'

lovely Book Page Wreath!

The timeworn look of these pages is simply stunning!

I love a good repurpose! And Lake Girl Paints'

Beachy Photo Holder

from an old water ski sure delivers!

Over at Fyne's Designs,

Virginia shows you how to make a DIY Ribbon Lampshade.

It's so ruffly and girly. And hers is in my favorite color... aqua!

See how Morning by Morning Productions made the cutest

Sewing Desk from a couple of ladders.

Love how she added the scrap boards for more storage under the desk too!

Sincerely Kate's Big Red Painted Dresser

really delivers the va-va-voom!

She definitely goes bold on this one and it totally pays off!

This Rustic Wooden Chalkboard Sign

at Shaken Together Life is so sweet and simple to make.

And the little scalloped-edge banner is too cute!

Katalina Jewelry takes some thrift store clothes

and makes the cutest Aprons.

Check out her tutorial.

If I could sew (at all!) I would be making one of these cuties for sure!

A Cultivated Nest shares her Little Painted Chair Makeover.

I am loving the red gingham fabric with the Provence paint!

Over at Shabby Love,

you'll see why it's easy to love a great Tool Caddy.

Check out the great old hardware on these beauties!

I love me some turquoise and over at The Vintage Barn,

Julie shows off a really great Turquoise Buffet

she painted for her friend. Isn't it lovely?

I Should be Mopping the Floor shares a wonderful

Spring Chalkboard Printable.

It's so bright and fun!

Chic by Tab shows off this gorgeous End Table.

The colors on it are so warm and inviting!

And you have to go over to Blue Star Antiques

and see this fantastic Radio Revamp.

The chippy milk paint finish is to die for! 

Aren't these projects so incredibly inspiring?

Please visit these great blogs today

You can tell them I sent you if you want :)

Have a great weekend!

A Few Food Favorites from {Wow Me} Wednesday!

I'm pretty excited about today's post.

I'm picking my very own favorites from the {Wow Me} Wednesday Party. :)

It feels so wonderful to be featured on another blog.

I'm crazy-thrilled that I get to pass some love around today!

Today's features are recipes that look and sound oh-so good.

Be sure to check them out, and tell them I sent you :)
And pin any recipes directly from their blogs. Please.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for some furniture and craft features. 

Yum-tastic Recipe Features...

I had to check out Storybook Reality's Creamy Potato Soup.

I think the addition of the hard boiled eggs into the recipe sounds delish!

I love avocado. And Sweet Pea Pod's Avocado Egg Salad looks YUM!

What a great way to cut some fat out of your lunch!

I got all hungry when I stopped by Joyful Homemaking and took a look at her Meatball Subs!

And they're so easy to make, too. 

3 Peppers Recipes shows us how to make these delicious sounding and cute looking Lemon Blueberry Sandwich Cookies.

Perfect for a summer day!

I can't wait to try this Bacon, Artichoke, Ranch Lasagna from I Heart Eating.

Everything about it sounds wonderful. I mean, c'mon, you had me at bacon (and ranch!).

Cafe Vita gives us the recipe for a great summertime favorite with her

Chilled Avocado Feta Cheese Salsa. I just love feta cheese!

I'm planning on trying at least one of these recipes out this weekend.

How about you?

{Wow Me} Wednesday Linky Party with GingerSnap Crafts

I am super excited to be co-hosting the {wow me} wednesday linky party with GingerSnap Crafts!
As part of her 2 YEAR BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION, Ginger has about 40 co-hosts this week for one one great-big linky party. And little ol' me is one of them! 
Happy 2nd Birthday GingerSnap Crafts!
This is the very first time I have co-hosted a party and I feel over the moon about it! As soon as I read Ginger's post last week about looking for co-hosts, I emailed her about this great opportunity.  My main reason for wanting to co-host is simple... Since I started joining linky parties, my blog views have grown exponentially! And my inspiration and motivation for creating new things has too! 
Take a look at a few of the things we've been inspired to create within the last week...

A Charming Picket Fence

 Make Your Own Wire Flowers

A Crafty Spring Bouquet 

 Make a Wish {wall hook}

 A Chalkboard in Bloom

1 Shutter, 2 Ways
So, if you've never joined a linky party, now is the time! They are so fun and inspiring, and you meet the greatest people!

The "rules' are simple.

Please consider sharing this party on

facebook, twitter, google+ or pinterest.

Link up to your post, not your main blog.

Must be something made by you!

{No etsy shops, giveaway or business links, please.}

I'm so excited to see all of the wonderful things you are doing!
Now it's time to party!
