Happy Friday, friends!
I'm wishing you a happy day because Friday is pretty much the same as any other day around here (except there's no church and nothing good on TV....is it sad that I judge a good day by what my DVR will be recording?)
If you're look for some good reading this weekend, here's a list of some of my favorite posts from around Blogland this week:
~I'm in love with this new (to me) site: How Does She? The tagline reads "Uniting Inspirational Women Sharing Inspirational Ideas." Sounds good to me!
~Britt's Prettified solution to plain old office labels
~Looove Morning T's twist on a popular bloggy craft project! (And I love Frappucino!)
~Lindsay reminded us that Real People Don't Live in Magazine Spreads. Boy, can I attest to that!
~Beth's Family Rules Window-- a great take on a popular project. She really made hers unique.
~Tidy Mom's recipe for The Perfect Snickerdoodle...yum! Her photos will have you drooling too.
~If Kate wasn't such a sweetheart, I'd be super jealous of her gorgeous kitchen's new look. Swoon-worthy!
~Rachel from Perfectly Imperfect gave her readers some great tips for using the FlyLady system. I enjoyed reading how Rachel created a housekeeping routine for herself, and if I can get over being called a "flybaby" I might just see if I can tweak some of these ideas for myself.
~Richella shared a wonderful tutorial for anyone who's interested in trying their hand at Upholstered Headboards.
Not much planned on the homefront this weekend. Natalie's little friend A is coming over this morning, and A's mom will stay to have coffee with me. I love playdates like that! I'd love to do a little thrifting on Saturday morning...I am on the hunt for a buffet to make over. Wish me luck!
{What are your plans for the weekend? I hope it's a good one!}

ReplyDeleteGreat collection of links!! Some I've seen, some I haven't.....now I'm off to check those out!!
ReplyDeleteThanks and have a GREAT weekend!!
I agree Friday is kind of a nothing day, but what I like is I can do whatever I want. I think I will visit some of these blogs. I am already familiar with Morning T, she is a love but the others I have not visited, Have a great Friday and a lovely weekend,Kathysue
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a fabulous weekend!! Pretty soon the weekends will be gorgeous & warm w. sunshine, I. can't. wait!!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree w/ you more as to how swoon worthy Kate's kitchen is. Hope you have a great weekend. I've been out of commission for the last 2 1/2 weeks so I'll be resting this weekend & hopefully catching up on some Dvr myself :-).
ReplyDeleteAmanda! Thank you so much for the linky love! I appreciate it so much. I mean, REALLY appreciate it. I really like your feature posts--what catches your eye always turns out to be something that I want to see, too. So for something of mine to be on that list. . . yippee!!
ReplyDeleteI got both headboards done and made new coverlets for the foots of the beds. And I still have a good bit of that green fabric left over. I'm afraid I went a little wild at the fabric store--I love this fabric, and I knew it would be GONE really quickly. So now I get to think about what else I can do with it. :)
Have a wonderful weekend.
It's another snow day here: DH is painting a room, and then will be clearing the snow. I see an afternoon of making hot chocolate and oatmeal.
ReplyDeleteI've tried the Flylady system. It works when I actually stick to it. :)
Thanks for adding us to the list!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your 'don't send me spam...no $$ to buy weightloss or bust enhancement' in your leave a comment section.
Funny and very true!
I loved the "rules" too! They are all great links! Thanks

We're planning a family fun day at an indoor aquatic center on Saturday!

Kate
Great links! It's fun to visit new blogs.
ReplyDeleteI hope your playdate morning was fun.
I'm attempting to make a cake for my friend this weekend. She's an expert baker, so I hope mine will be up to snuff. A bunch of us are playing tennis Saturday night and I'm going to surprise her with the cake after we play. I spend over $20 on the ingredients...it had better be good!
love, love, love your blog design!
ReplyDeleteThat's seriously someones KITCHEN?? I woulda never given up Pink Sugar if I had that to play in. Holy cow!! Happy Weekend Amanda :)
ReplyDeleteLove your post and can't wait to read your suggestions. Watching Sense and Sensibility tonight while the boys all sleep outside underneath a pine tree (we have three feet of snow!) and then tomorrow I'm attempting a slipcover on a chair/ottoman I found on CL.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
