But before we get to our giveaway, we have some yummy features!  This week I have Raspberry Recipes to share!  These would be perfect for any upcoming Valentine’s Day plans you may have, and they’re also great for everyday eating!  Hope you enjoy. [Read more…]

Friday Favorites – Week 305 – with Valentine’s Day Ideas

Greetings! Welcome to Friday Favorites! I’m very excited to roll out our first round of Valentine’s Day features for the year! So fun!

But before I get to that I have one quick announcement.  A few week’s ago I announced that we’d have a Friday Favorites giveaway coming up.  The giveaway is celebrating our 300th week of partying.  I chose not to do the giveaway on week 300 because of the holidays falling on the same weeks…anyway, I will be moving forward with a giveaway next week!

We will have two great prizes from Pavilion, and you will be able to enter on any of the host blogs.  All you have to do is link up a post!  Additionally we’ll have other entries for sharing the linky party & giveaway, as well as entries for being a follower!  So be sure and come by next week, so you don’t miss out on the fantastic prizes!

Friday Favorites – Week 303 – with DIY Projects

Welcome to another Friday Favorites party!  With a new year comes the opportunity to set new goals.  On my list of goals, I have a lot of DIY projects and purchases I want to make for my home.

And I think a lot of other homemakers have similar goals and aspirations.  For this week’s features, I’ve got some great DIY projects from our friends.  I think they will serve as a great inspiration to you! [Read more…]

Friday Favorites – Week 302 – Organizing in the New Year

Hi ladies! Happy Friday! Thanks so much for stopping by today to party with us.  For today’s party I will be showcasing a few organizing ideas and printables!  And if you really love organizing with printables, I shared  a post last week featuring several printable blog planners, which I think you will find helpful in the new year.  So be sure to go over and check that out!

Also, you may have noticed that I’ve made a few little changes here at my site.  I have a new banner, and I’ve also tweaked the colors and couple of other key design elements and pages.  Another thing that I’m working on this week is changing over my email newsletter list.  Starting next week, my RSS email and other future mail outs will be sent via Mail Chimp.  I’m very excited about swapping over to the service, and I believe it will allow me to send out a better newsletter to subscribers and also offer exclusive content and freebies.

As part of the transition, I’ve been advised to have all of my current subscribers “re-subscribe” or “re-confirm” their subscription.  So if you are currently subscribed via Feedburner or Feedblitz,  I need for you to subscribe again to my blog. You can do so, by visiting this subscription page.  And if you are not yet subscribed to my newsletter, I invite you to subscribe today!  I have a lot of great things planned for the blog this year, and I hope to bring some great extras to my subscribers!

Now without further ado, let’s get on with the party!

Friday Favorites – Week 300 – With Fun Christmas Features

Hello everyone! Happy Friday!  And Merry Christmas to you all!  Yay!  I hope you all have a lovely and blessed holiday filled with fun and cheer!

I just had a lovely time celebrating Christmas Eve with some of my family, and we still have a couple of celebrations to go!  With all the fun and the hustle and bustle, I decided to cheat tonight and do a re-run of a few previous features from this month.  I think that’s allowed, right? LOL.

Also, I just want to take a moment and recognize the fact that this is party number 300!  Woohoo! That’s a lot of link ups!  And yes, there will be a celebratory giveaway, but I’m going to have it post-week 300.  I wanted to do it on the week we hit 300, but on holidays we don’t see nearly as many party visitors, and also I decided it would be best to postpone till after the year, so that more people will be able to enter.

Anyway, without further ado, let’s get to this week’s features and party!  Merry Christmas!

Friday Favorites – Week 299 – With Fun Christmas Foods

Hello everyone! Happy Friday!  Can you believe we are only one week away from Christmas!  AH!  I don’t know about you but I still have a lot of presents to wrap and a few to buy.  And I still have to decide what to cook! Eek!

And on a less important note, next week is week 300 of our party! Woot!  I wanted to host a giveaway to celebrate this, but since holidays are usually a “slow week” for the party, I may postpone a giveaway for a few weeks.  So just stay tuned!

As for this week, we have an array of fun Christmas foods.  I know you will LOVE these!

Also, while you’re here, I invite you to enter our giveaways from Vera Premium Dog Treats and a Rockwell Tools BladeRunner Saw!
