Summer Lovin' Weekend Soiree & Blog Hop {15}

   Happy, Happy Friday!!! It is that time again!  It is my favorite day of the week! :) The day we all get to see great ideas, discover other awesome blogs, and make new friends! :) I hope you are all having a wonderful week! I have received some wonderful suggestions, but I am still taking all of the suggestions I can get for a name for my weekend soiree for the fall. I will let you guys vote on it when I get a few more. :) 
   I also have one more issue I need a little assistance with. Can anyone give me a good site in which I can find a tutorial on how I can move my labels, parties, features, etc into categories at the to of may page. I tried once and it said I could not do it with the template I am using? Maybe I was doing something wrong? Thanks! :)


   Thanks so much to all of you who took the time to link up last week! Have are the links that caught my eye... 


   Do you have a little one starting back to school? If so, you will LOVE this brilliant and easy idea for a Back to School Survival kit from Thrifty Crafty Girl! It is the perfect gift that I am sure any teacher would LOVE! 


Check out this amazing Dish towel transformation at the Fancy Frugal Life! This is a clever way to turn your basic dishtowels into No-slip Towels! 


   Have you ever made homemade noodles?! Well, I haven't, but I will definitely be making some soon after seeing this Homemade Noodles recipe from Amber at Quilted Euphoria! I had no idea they were so easy to make!


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!

    Hi Crysta, Re: labels at top of page, are you using blogger? If so, you should be able to add pages. Click Design > Posting > Edit Pages. Or are you trying to link to previous posts that all fall into one "category"?

    Hi Crysta! Your blog looks great! And yes, I'm off to try making those noodles! As for linking pages to the top - I think you can create a new nav bar with pages. After you follow the above directions, I tihnk you can choose for it to be either across the top or listed in your sidebar. Also, I just opened my first blog hop and would love for you to link up your diy crafts - anything related to nursery & kids room decor - like the lamp I showcased and if you have another, too. Also please let me know if you have any probs linking up - this is kind of a test run. Here's a direct link: http://playfuldecor.blogspot.com/2011/08/tuesdays-nursery.html
    Hope to see you! Have a great week! Nan
