::Weekend Bloggy Reading:: Link Up!

Welcome to Weekend Bloggy Reading. I hope you'll link up your best post of the week today, and maybe leave me some comment love!

All kinds of posts are welcome--recipes, crafts, funny stories, home decor, etc.; but please do not link to Etsy shops, businesses, items for sale, etc. (I have a Sponsors section, if you'd like to Advertise with me.)

Here are a few of my faves from this week:
sources listed below

~Sandy shared 10 Frugal Steps to Setting a Beautiful Easter Table.

~Cutest Barnyard Baby Shower ever by Kim!

~Kelli and her son made a recycled pen and pencil caddy.

~Rachelle finished her girls' playroom!

~Kate wrote about ways to Recharge Your Creativity.


~And me? This week featured:


Time to link up your best post of the week (please take the time to include a link-back or my party button and visit some of the other participants!)

Here's the button code if you'd prefer to use that rather than a link-back:
Weekend Bloggy Reading









Party is open until 10 pm (ET) on Sunday night.

Remember that blog parties work best when bloggers participate, so if you have a chance to visit a few of the other links, you might find a new friend or two!

I'm heading out tomorrow night to see Water for Elephants with my Chick Flick Club. A few of us are getting together for a bite to eat beforehand to celebrate my birthday, and I may even see if I have time for a quick makeover at Sephora in the afternoon. I'm looking forward to a nice "time out." Easter will bring church, a nice lunch out, and a good old fashioned Easter egg hunt!

What are you up to this weekend?


Hope to be back this weekend with some highlights from Weekend Bloggy Reading!

    I hope you'll do a movie review. I loved reading Water for Elephants and hope that the movie will be just as good.

    Have fun with your friends!

    I mentioned you in my post today because I used one of the Elmer's paint markers that I won in your giveaway on a clock that I was making over. I linked it up with your weekend bloggy reading. :)

I love to hear your feedback! Please feel free to leave comments...just don't send me spam asking me to buy stuff off your website! I've got three kids and no money to purchase your magic weight-loss pill or bust enhancement, or whatever else you might be selling. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you! :)
