Weekend Craft Soiree & Blog Hop {34}

  Hey there! I hope you all had a wonderful week! My week started off in a most perfect way! Tim Tebow led the Broncos to win the first game in the playoffs! {Sorry Darby!} I LOVE Tim Tebow,  like really, really LOVE him! ;) The week got even better when our team won the National Championship game! Roll Tide! Jeff has 2 kids at U of Alabama and we have had the privilege of knowing some of the players. AJ McCarron, the quarterback, and a few of the other players were even so sweet to take time from their busy schedules to send Jeff birthday wishes the other day! They are truly a genuinely sweet group of guys and I am so proud of them! Then to make the week even better, the next night, sweet Trevor, Jeff's other son scored 25 points in his basketball game! The week started off wonderful and I got lots made to go in my Etsy shop!  
   Unfortunately, today has been pretty sad... You probably know that One Life to Live, my favorite show ever, came on for the last time ever after over 43 years! I have watched this show since I was just a little girl and I just feel so heartbroken. I wish they would have just left the soap operas alone... The show ended with a cliffhanger and the narrator kept mentioning "Part 2" and "a sequel", so I am hoping that maybe they will create a spin-off or something when some of the characters move to General Hospital... Really hoping...  



 Now that y'all have gotten to hear my ranting and raving ;), it looks like it's that time again! Time for you to link up what you have been working on and make a few new friends while you are here! Did you see my post from earlier today about the fun Handmade Valentine Gift Swap? If not, you will definitely want to check it out! I can assure you that you will not want to miss out on the fun! ;)


I am loving this Free Weekly Planner Printable from Lindsay at Artsy-Fartsy Mama! This is a perfect way to help you become more organized for 2012!

If you are loving the feather trend as much as I am, you will be thrilled to find this Feather Earrings Tutorial from vixenMade!

Briana at Babblings and More did a truly amazing job on this Rose Ruffle Throw Pillow! It barely costed her anything to make it and the method she used to create the piping is simply brilliant! 

Thank you all for sharing your fabulous projects!
I hope you found some new friends while you were here!
