Destination: Inspiration Linky Party #7

How was your St. Patrick's Day weekend? What did you get up to? Our family had F-U-N! Serious fun. I can't wait to share  pictures in tomorrow's post from our parade, a fabulous lunch at a friend's house, and a late dinner of bangers and mash at our house with some friends to wrap up! And we had some amazing submissions again in last week's linky party!! Thank you all for continuing to provide wonderful inspiration and taking the time to submit each week! Here were some of my favorites. It is not easy narrowing these down, I can tell you!

Check out these DIY Sew in Labels Tutorial by Twigg Studios! I can't say enough about Aimee. Each week she inspires me with not one or two superkalafragelistic submissions but with four or five crazy cool projects!! Plus her photography is sublime! I am so gonna make these labels! Check out her website for inspiration galore. I just got a Silhouette Cameo (hurrah, happy heart!) and can't wait to try some of Twigg Studio's projects!

I also swooned over this 3-D Easter egg banner from Creations by Kara! Isn't it too cute? I have been wondering where I will find the time and energy to whip some Easter decor together. Kara's tutorial is so well done that I can see this happening for sure! Her blog is so fun and has a-MAZ-ing tutorials, yummy treats and so much more inspiration!

Thanks to Tales of a Trophy Wife I just might learn how to sew before my girls grow up! Have you seen her new Sewing 101 tutorials? I.love.them and everything she has made in this series including this cute bubble skirt. I can just picture little matching spring skirts for Teagan & Isla! She is so funny and talented to boot! Check out her blog for tons of great decorating and crafting ideas as well as her linky party on Tuesdays!

Ombre Lucky Print by Cameron Homemade

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you are off to a festive St. Patrick's Day week! What are you doing to celebrate the holiday? Please share in the comments below because it really makes my day hearing from you! I received a few annonymous posts this week and I am not sure why but Disqus is not displaying them. Ugh to the ugh. But I can read them and am trying to work that out so please continue to post. I love getting to hear from you!

I love this burlap ombre print above. It's from Cameron Homemade. She is so amazing. I love her Paddy's Day mantel and so many of her tutorials. Just got a peek at her horseshoe wreath...squeal! So hope she will link that up here this week. You've got to see it so head over to her blog!

Kids Playdough by Homespun with Love

Homespun with Love submitted this cute tutorial for kids Paddy's Day playdough. I adore the printables and background decor too so check out this link to be sure. She also submitted an awesome recipe for potato, leek and proscuitto soup...YUM! Her site has so much to offer so pop on over!

I can't believe how cool this beautiful handmade TV console by Vixen Made turned out! Vixen Made has one of my very favorite blogs in a sea of wonderful choices. Check out her fabulous Etsy offerings and tutorials while you visit her. I also love that she introduced me to these furniture Plans from Anna White!

I always feature three projects from my linky parties but with Easter on its way I just couldn't leave out this adorable Framed Bunny Silhouette by Uncommon Designs Online! Bonnie and Trish are so very talented and I love their blog. Be sure to check it out! 

On to this week's party! If you were featured I'd love it if you'd grab my featured button to post on your blog.

Destination: Inspiration Linky Party #2

*Thanks very much for your prayers! We've received word that my stepmother has had a successful brain surgery and is hopefully on her way to a full recovery! Praise Jesus!*

Welcome to my second Destination: Inspiration Tuesday DIY Linky Party!! I am SO glad you are here and can't wait to see this party grow! We had 27 A-mazing submissions last week. The quality was truly outstanding so narrowing down my three favorites was not easy. If you were featured please grab my Featured button below and post it on your blog!

Oh.my.heart. I just love this photo birthday notes from Jill at Create.Craft.Love. What a very cool tradition to have with the kids! I so want to start this with Teagan and Isla. Like, now. Wouldn't it be amazing to have a collection of these at their birthday parties and even their weddings?

Cheryl at Sew Can Do inspires me on a daily basis. But as I am all about pink this season it is her sweetheart glitter cottage that makes me go weak in the knees. I seriously heart this and wanna give it a go myself!



I just love this peek at spring in the form of handmade earrings from KooKooCraft!
