This week was CRAZY busy. I only got one of my projects completely finished. My homemade Andes Mints! They are great, but I’m halfway through a half a dozen other projects! Hopefully this week I’ll finish a few! The biggest project this week was tiling my kitchen back-splash. I used 1 inch tiles. It looks AMAZING, but is SO much more work than larger tiles. I’ll be done soon, I promise! I’m ALSO working on a project for my So You Think Your Crafty Audition! Yup, that’s right, I’ll be participating in season 6 (if I make it through the Audition round!) I’ll let you know when it’s up and ready for voting! I hope you all like my project!
On to the features! Check out the amazing crafts from this last week!
She’s absolutely amazing. Serious I love so many of her crafts. This one is absolutely brilliant. Chalkboard place-mats, amazing. I NEED these for my dinner table. Not only would my kiddo’s love it, but I would too! I’ve always love drawing on the paper tablecloths at restaurants. Maybe a table runner too… How fun for every day fun!
AND these chalkboard chargers? Amazing for a dinner party! These weren’t linked up this last week but I just HAD to share. Man, how many fun ideas are there for chalkboard these days. I’m SO going to buy those chalkboard pens too. Oh, and the ornament… I have a HUGE project out of chalkboard stuff I can’t wait to share with you (when I finally get around to some staging and picture taking)
I know I feature these ami eggs a lot. How could I not, can we can we say PRECIOUS! I just LOVE each and every one of them. I mean I love crochet and these eggs are always SO adorable! And this turkey ami egg???? I want to get this pattern so I can make these and use them as place card holders. SOOOO cute! My Pig Ami Egg’s are in my car and go everywhere with me!
I find I have a few reoccurring interests these days. Wreaths and pillows are HIGH on that list. This pillow is absolutely beautiful! The heat transfer, the buttons… The COLORS! I love. I seriously need this exact one. Hello GORGEOUS!
And I couldn’t have a feature without posting some kind of home remodeling project. This week??? A gorgeous tile back splash. BUT the secret to this one? It’s not tile though… It’s PAINT! They sectioned it off using quilters tape and then painted the squares. She has a great tutorial for it too! So if your looking for a change check it out!
So there you have it, some of the features from last week. Don’t forget to take a button if you were featured.
I decided to put the features post and the party post together, rather than separate from now on. I hope that more of the features will get the attention they deserve this way!
Remember, while I look at EVERY single craft that get’s linked up, I simply can’t stand comment moderation and can’t take that extra time to always fill them out. So if you aren’t receiving comments from me that’s why! I really do love looking at all you do, and would love to gush and tell you that! So take off the comment moderations!
Don’t forget to grab a button for you blog somewhere and I can’t WAIT to see what you’ve all been up to this week!
Such cute features! Thanks for all the great ideas and for hosting again.

Grrrrr! My buttons are giving me issues. I tried to fix them last night for an HOUR! I did get them better, but still not right. My coding keeps CHANGING when I publish it. It’s really making me mad!!! And I’m serious about a giveaway, think you could turn one into an egg ornament for Christmas??? We could try to get you more exposure and business!

Well hello!!! I find it hard to find the time with only 4 kids! 6 1/2 and I think my craftiness would suffer big time! I actually didn’t craft from for the past 8 years. It wasn’t until my baby got to be 2 1/2 and I didn’t have another one that I got back into it! It was so fun to meet you do, you are seriously an adorable pregnant gal! I’m so excited to sit down (when I find some time) and check out all the blogs of the women I met! Your so on top of things! AMAZING!
