::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


~Carmen worked her magic with a Memo Board Makeover.

~If you haven't stopped by the Crafterminds site yet, you are missing out. Whether you are a craft blogger or not, they have excellent advice for growing your blog. A recent guest post on 5 Ways to Grow Your Blog showed a lot of insight!

~Do you fear going bold with color? Kate's tips for Injecting Color are for you (and me!).

~Jen updated her 4 Seasons Wall with Spring Specimen Wall Art.

~Are you a Perfectionist Procrastinator? Let Amy encourage you today.

~Kim made a Nook/E-Reader Cover, and she'll show you how to make one too.


~And me?
I showed you a little Dressertop Makeover in my girls' room, and received a great response from the 3rd session in my Commenting 101 series: How to Leave a Good Comment. Wednesday post, Fashion Show Practice, highlighted a wildly hilarious Tom Hanks video that is worth clicking over for. Yesterday, we commiserated over some Consumerist Highs and Lows.



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!

My sis and niece are back in town this weekend, and I'm hoping to spend some time with them as well as get the house in shape for something I'm hosting next week...more on that later.

{What are you up to this weekend?}


Back this weekend with some Saturday Shopping and highlights from Weekend Bloggy Reading!

  1. Hi sugar!
    My solution to staying sane is organizing something! You had some good posts this week-- I think I read every one--I can't say that about every friend's blog :)
    Please have a wonderful, blessed weekend! I am going to organize my pantry next ;)
    Can't wait to see what you're up to next week!
    HUGS to you!

  2. Thanks for hosting this blog party, Amanda, it's fun to see what others have been up to throughout the week.

    We are going to enjoy the {hopefully} nice weather with a bbq and spend some time with friends who will be moving away soon. I always have a list of projects to clean, organize or make.

    Have a great weekend!

  5. Thanks for featuring me! :) I was going to link up my post that I was a new jewelry consultant but I guess that counts as a business. So I won't. ;)

  17. Hi Amanda,

    I like the dresser top redo! I still need to read the commenting post - I'll add that to my weekend blog reading!

    Thanks for hosting. I linked up my best post from this week but it wasn't home decor or crafting - just good news that I feel like telling anyone who will listen! :)

  22. Hi Amanda-

    Love your project pics over at Centsational Girl. Found a few blogs I have never been to before - love to find new inspiration.
    Hope you had a fun weekend with your sis and getting your hair cut.
    My best- Diane

  23. Amanda, I cannot believe it has taken me this long to get over here and follow you! Love your dressertop makeover - so pretty! Cannot wait to check out the post on commenting - I am always up for others ideas and opinions on that and bloggy etiquette.

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! :)
