friday favorites

Welcome to week 182 of Friday Favorites!  And Happy September!  I have to say, I had a hard time choosing features this week. We had so many great recipes, crafts, and I was also surprised at the number of great furniture and room makeover projects we had last week.  And  did I mention printables? Yeah! Last week’s party had a little bit of everything!  If you missed it due to the Labor Day weekend, you should definitely look back.

Anyway, after much deliberation, I decided to share some pillows with you!  These not only look like great projects to take on, but the pillows look very trendy and stylish!  Hope you enjoy them!

By they way, this is my last chance to remind you to enter my Holey Donuts Giveaway.  Winner gets 5 assortments of donuts and $250 cash!  Also, I’ve just launched a new giveaway from Publix. [Read more…]

Last weekend we kicked off college football season. That gets  me in the mood for party foods, appetizers, and dips!  Today I decided to create a round up of dips, but rather than serving these next to your chips,  veggies, and hot wings, you’ll need to put out some cookies and fruits to dip in. That’s right!  All of today’s dips are Dessert Dips! Yum! Hope you enjoy these! [Read more…]
