Before I launch into this week's list of amazing links, I wanted to remind you that the next Show Me the Progress party is coming up next Wednesday, July 28.
The beauty of the party is that you don't have to have a completed project! We want to see the progress you're making so we can encourage you and give you helpful feedback. The last party, which you can view here, was lots of fun! If nothing else, share your ideas and plans with your readers to not only keep yourself accountable with your goals, but also to receive advice and encouragement.
On to the linky love!
~Kelli made my dreams come true with her Chocolate Covered Surprise Cookies.
~Darcy shared her Biggest Blogging Pet Peeves. Are you an "offender?" {wink} You'll find some excellent blogging tips!
~J'adore Amanda's Luggage Tag Tutorial. Trés cute!
~I was very impressed with Stephanie Lynn's DIY Party Deck. Great space for entertaining!
~Kimmie made some cupcakes with Lemon Cream Cheese Icing. Yuuuum.
~Paula gave us an update on the Walnut Avenue Home.
~T will die of sheer bliss if I give Jenni's Peanut Butter Big Cups a try.
~Beth turned a junky garage potting bench into an Updated Outdoor Buffet.
~Heather's Patio Makeover inspired me and also made me want a pool.
I finished up the book I talked about on Wednesday and now I'm working on the sequel! Girls Night Out tonight...so excited! We also have an Addition that has exploded with My Little Ponies and Polly Pockets and needs some tlc. Last, but not least, I promised my mom that I'd feed her evil, sadistic cat, Mr. Darcy, while she's in Texas. I guess I must risk losing an arm or leg to fulfill my obligation. Hope I make it back to blog on Monday.
Have a fabulous, weekend!

My favorite part of your post is hearing about your fun upcoming weekend (well, except for the cat-sitting). My favorite links are the food-related ones. Who doesn't need more dessert recipes? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for featuring my cookies:) Those luggage tags are great, and I could really use a few before my hubby and I head to New York in a few weeks! This weekend we are going to be packing for our family vacation to the coast of Georgia. And I must work on a wedding gift for a friend.
