Summer Lovin' Weekend Soiree & Blog Hop {14}

   Happy Friday, Lovelies! I hope you all are doing well this week and have a fantabulous weekend planned {even if that means just lounging around the house with the fam}! Cherish each moment you are given and make it count! One of my favorite quotes is "Better make it count 'cause you can't get it back!..." It is from the Carrie Underwood song "So Small." There is so much truth in that statement! I could actually talk about that all day, but I will save that for another post. :)
   Since summer is winding down, I have got to think of a new {possibly fall/Autumn} title for our weekend soiree! Any and all suggestions are welcome! :)
   Thanks so much to all who linked up last week! Here are just a few that caught my eye!


I love this Cute Crafty Wreath from The Moon & Me! I am so going to make this soon! :)


Check out this tutorial for these pretty Prickly Posies from Freckles and Fun! Absolutely adorable!


Want to learn how to make and EASY and super cute ruffled headband?! Jill at My Heart is Yours shows you how to do just that! :)


Want to make another super-cute and EASY headband?! Check out this cute rosette headband tutorial from Katy at redBuddy notes! I want to make lots of headbands for fall!


And lastly, but certainly not least, is a post that I think most all of us need (or at least I do)! Judy from DIY by Design shared a great tutorial on The art of folding towels and linens (including those awful fitted sheets!) 


Thank you all so much for sharing your awesomeness last week! I hope you found a little inspiration and made some new friends while you were here! If I featured you this week, feel free to grab a "featured" button!

    I can't believe we're so close to fall! My favorite time of year. My idea for your blog hop is "Falling into Fall" weekend hop. Or something equally cheesy! LOL

    Thanks for hosting and have a great weekend!

    Well, I'm not good at naming things, so I can't help you there. ;)

    I did however may a "knock off" of your wreath! Can't wait to show you.

    Have a great week!

    I have been missing you Miss Crystal! Thanks for hosting!
    I am terrible with names too but maybe something like a "Fall Crafting Throw Down" or something. See I am terrible!

    I really tried to think of a good fall name but I didn't manage to come up with anything clever :( Thanks so much for hosting Crystal! Hope you're having an *awesome* weekend!
