Some Brag-worthy Projects

As our little link party grows, so does the number of amazing projects. I had a VERY hard time picking the features this week and found myself very inspired. Thank you, guys! Here are a few of my faves…

I love this sweet and simple bottle opener from Megan at Our Pinteresting Family. I may end up making one for our house if I can figure out where to put it!

Okay, so here’s a little secret you probably didn’t know about me…I really REALLY hate creamy, saucy foods. The flavor is okay, it’s just the texture. Egg Nog is on my most list for most disgusting foods because of its thick and creamy consistency! But, egg nog BREAD…that’s something I could love! The hubby is going to be so excited when I make this. Thanks, Tanya from twelveOeight for opening a whole new world for me!

I’ve been a bit obsessed with Advent Calendars this Christmas and I am soooo in love with the pallet, wall-mounted Advent Calendar from Christine at The DIY Dreamer!

Here’s one for your cheesecake lovers – Cheesecake with White Chocolate from Winnie!

Who doesn’t love snowmen? I love this pleasant departure from the typical wreath. Great job, Sweet Little Bluebird!

What is your favorite Girl Scout Cookie? Mine are Thin Mints…I say Mints in the plural because I really like to eat more than one! haha My friend, Carol from Weeknight Dish shares her super easy recipe for making Homemade Thin Mints using only 4 ingredients. I dare you to guess her secret ingredient!

Reindeers are so hot right now. Have you seen these amazing upcycled sweater and fabric applique pillows from In His Grip? I need to work on my sewing skills so I can make these!

Our #1 Brag!

This week, our ad winner was chosen at random using random.org. Out of 72 entries, number 49 was chosen – Trish from the Old Post Road! She shares her tips for simple and cheap decorating for the Holidays!
