::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
~Learn how to make your own Customized Paint Deck for around $2.

~Cassie created some Missoni-style DIY Chevron Striped Drinking Glasses.

~DIYers will love the new Roadkill Rescue site, where roadside finds and hand-me-downs are featured after being rehabbed.

~Laura Lynn saved a bundle by making her own DIY Canvas Art.

~Learn How to Use Windows Live Writer for blogging!

~And Me? This week featured:
    Time to link up your best post of the week

    Rules:
    • Please link back to me within your post. I will not feature your link if you don't link back to me.
    • No items for sale, shops, etc. and please don't link up the same post week after week. 
    • Please visit some of the other links--that's how a good blog party works--participation!

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

      I totally agree with IC!!! I have just recently found your blog. Maybe a month or two ago I stumbled upon it. And I have been amazed by you. The perfect combination of amazing projects and family stories. Plus you take the time to comment and visit little blogs. I know it must take a lot of time, but it really makes a difference. Thank you so much for being such a kind blogging friend.

    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! :)
