Weekend Craft Soiree & Blog Hop {21}

  Hey everyone! Hope you have had a fabulous week and have an even better weekend planned! It has been crazy busy around here for the past few days, so the party is a little later than usual. Sorry about that! I will have the features from last weekend up soon. I had unexpected guests from out of town show up for the weekend and between that and high school football last night, I didn't get the chance to get the full post ready. 
    Y'all know the drill. Oh, and  if you want to, you can go to the buttons tab at the top and grab a shiny new button! Have a wonderful day!!!

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 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! :)

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!)
