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:

~Button Monogram Craft, via The Pleated Poppy
~New Year's Oreo Clock Pops, via Craft-O-Maniac
~And Me? This week featured:
- My Top Projects and Posts from 2011
- Our Christmas (in Pictures)
- New Year's Eve Inspiration
- Our Christmas Rescue Dog
Time to link up your best post of the week. Please remember that this party is dedicated to showcasing your best post of the week--we've had some issues with people linking up 10 or more posts each week, and some of them for multiple weeks in a row.
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:
Party is open until 10 pm (ET) on Sunday night.
What are you up to this weekend? I am going to attempt to return my home to some semblance of normalcy. The living room looks like FEMA turned it into a Barbie/American Girl refugee camp. No plans as of yet for New Year's Eve--but I know T wouldn't mind a quiet evening at home.
I hope to be back tomorrow with some highlights from Weekend Bloggy Reading!
(This Code is for blogs featured today!):
I'm here! I'm here! I know I'm terrible at the blogging thing as of late, this has been the craziest month yet & I'm in the process of a "blog overhaul" (been trying to do it myself but I may need to call in reinforcements) My new years resolution is to work on my shop advertising & make my blog a #1 priority, no more excuses! :-) I just came from Lindsey's blog with the button monogram, wow! Love it! I have a ton of buttons I could put to good use with a project like that. Hope you have a great weekend & happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI love your "Christmas in Pictures!" The girlie-doodles look so excited.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Amanda!
Thank you for hosting!

Glad to hear you had such a great Christmas. I'm in love with your new addition...I've always wanted a yorkie. When I fostered for the humane society, I had one who was 10 yrs old, weighed about 5 lbs, no teeth, tongue stuck out, hip displaysia and a tumor...his name was Ned, and he was a ladies man....he tried to "woo" my 25 pound pug at least 10 times a day...much to her distaste.
ReplyDeletethanks for hosting...best wishes to you in 2012.
We've taken a little bit of a Christmas break - I cannot wait to look around and see what others have done! Thanks Amanda!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Amanda - thanks for hostessing the weekly parties through 2011, and I look forward to partying with you "next year" too :)

My house is in desperate need of a clean up and re-organization! And totally need to bring some old toy to GW.

Hi Amanda - Im your newest follower! I've only been blogging 6 weeks and still feel quite nervous when I link up. I found you through Crafty Texas Girls and am so glad I did. Take care and have a fantastic New Year. Nat
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda! Remember me? I see you all the time on FB - but I've been horrible at the blogging thing! You are so diligent! I can't wait to browse through some of this week's highlighted posts! I hope you and your family had a very Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your post Christmas clean-up. I'll be doing the same thing this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled over here via Mercurial Nature. I was returning a visit and noticed this blog party. I added a Christmas Story post to your long list of links. I hope you enjoy it. Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Amanda!! I realized I was missing too many of your posts, so I added you to my blogroll. It's what I actually use as my reader, so hopefully I can keep up better in 2012! :)
