Monday Morning Updates

Am I the only weird mom out there that gets bummed out at Back to School time?
I love having the kids home for summer.
Today’s the last day before School starts and I’m all mopey. :)

So let’s do some happy stuff, k?

I have a winner to announce for the Freckles Crafts Giveaway of the personalized tote and darling holiday craft kits!!

The winner is:

Don’t you like my snazzy winner’s graphic I made? Me too. :)

In other happy news – I was able to Guest Post yesterday over at The Answer is Chocolate!! You can head over there and check out my latest love – which is not-so-surprisingly an Anthro Necklace Knockoff.

I love all the rings!

There I feel better now.
I’ll be back soon-ish with my cute clock makeover!!

Happy Monday! :)

 

Think Pink Sundays No. 25

Welcome to Think Pink Sundays!!!


What have you been up to this week? Stuff for home? Back to School? Gasp . . . Holiday things?!
We want to see it all!

But first, let’s check out what the most clicked link from last week was!
Alyssa from Sweet Sewn Stitches linked up this pretty Anthro Inspired Twill Tie Necklace. I think those blue beads are so sweet.

Now it’s your turn!

Here are the “Rules”;)

1.Link up NEW tutorials, refashions, recipes, printables, DIY, etc.
Basically – anything we can make!!
Please don’t link up giveaways, Etsy shops, or link parties!

2. It would be lovely if you add a button or text link to your blog or post.

3. It would also be lovely if you followed along here.
Not required – but it would make me happy. :)
Plus you’ll want to check back and see if you’ve been featured!!

4. Visit!!! Be Inspired! Share some comment love!
Please visit at least the person linked up before you and leave them a sweet comment.



I’ll be doing Facebook and Twitter features throughout the week -
and sharing my Crushes (Features) here on Friday!

Crush of the Week – Think Pink Features!

Happy Friday! It’s time for the Crush of the Week!

I hope you’ve had a great week! I have some fun features from last week’s Think Pink Sunday to share with ya!

Kristina J is so super talented! I love everything she links up! This week she had a great tutorial for an Anthro Voluminous Scarf knockoff.
This is definitely going on my to-do list!

Check out this Banana Split Cheesecake by Sheryl at Lady Behind the Curtain. Seriously? YUMMMMMM.

How cute are these little Back to School Hairclips by Jamie at Three Scoops of Love?! I love all the bright colors!

This Antique Mirror Redo by Kahli at Design Par Deux is gorgeous!! Her method is super simple too!
Now I’m going to be on the lookout for a fun scrolly mirror. . .

Double Take: Before & After Antique Mirror

Stace from Just Sew Sassy turned an Oven Rack into a Jewelry Holder. Hello Miss Creative! I love this idea!!

I don’t actually know what Nougat is – but this Bread Nougat by Ali at Jam Hands looks pretty amazing!

That’s it!! Loved all the posts this week – so much inspiration!

If you were featured and would like a button – they’re on the sidebar. Grab one and show it off!

:)

Time for some Highlights of the Week!

Surreal Moment of the Week:
My daughter started college this week. Daughter. College. I am super proud of her – but those two words in a sentence together make me twitchy.
Oh and yes, since you asked – I had her when I was 6. :)

Weird Searches of the Week!!
Before we get to them – some of you have asked where these come from and how I find them. These are all words that people have searched in Search Engines (not internal searches on my blog) and have somehow ended up here. They show up in my WordPress Stats. :)
This week we had, “what color is opposite flamingo“. Hmmmm. That’s a toughie. I would have to say maybe hippo. Or alligator?
We also had, “pulseiras pap“. Which puzzled me a bit so I popped it into Google Translate. It means “bracelet pap” in Galician. Which also puzzled me a bit since Galician sounds like a made up language. So I googled that too and discovered it’s not made up – that it’s kind of like Portuguese – but not. Cool. Now the only remaining puzzle – what is pap? And is it on my bracelets?

Coming Up:
Next week I have a fun guest post to share with you – a clock transformation (part of my “adding more color to my house” goal) - a great book review – and my sis is coming to visit on Friday!! I. Cannot. Wait. :)

See ya all tomorrow and Sunday for Think Pink Sundays!!
I can’t wait to see what you made this week!
