Friday Favorites – Week 58

Photobucket

Happy Friday! If you’re new here, Hello And Welcome!  Each Friday (slash Thursday night) I host this linky party.  You are welcome to share any post from your blog that you consider to be a favorite this week.  This can be recipes, crafts, decor, tips, tutorials, or even photos from your family vacation, basically anything that’s a favorite of yours, that you’ll think we’ll enjoy.  And each week I feature 5 posts that caught my eye from the previous week, and reward the 5 bloggers with my Featured button.
I also take this time each week to remind my loyal Friday Favorites participants about my Featured Giveaway for the week.  This week we have a $25 Gift Certificate to Executive Gift Shoppe.  This is an awesome shop!  They have lots of great gift ideas for guys, but they have a lot of things that women might be interested in too, and many of the items come custom engraved, free of charge!  I feel bad because for some reason, I’ve only had one person enter! Just one! So I’ll probably be extending this one. Please go check it out!
Now let’s get on with this week’s party, starting with this week’s featured bloggers!
Easter Egg Topiary from Southern Scraps

Chocolate Irish Cream Cupcakes from Mama Schell Says

Jell-o Popcorn from Kristy Makes

Crochet Coaster Tutorial from Love City

Welcome to another fun edition of Friday Favorites!  Before getting to this week’s featured posts, I wanted to remind you about my featured giveaway for this week: it’s the Pillsbury Bake-off Giveaway.  The prize is a cute apron, cookbook, and inkpen! This is perfect for anyone who loves to cook!
Also, just as a heads up, I ordinarily launch my giveaways at the beginning of the week, usually on Tuesday, but I have an extra one for this week, which I’ll be putting up sometime later today.  It’s another print giveaway from our friends at Uprinting.  And this time the prize is 250 business cards!  So if you have a need for some business or blog cards, come check back later for your chance to win!

Enjoy the party!

 Happy Friday!  And thanks for coming by this week to link up your wonderful recipes and projects!
Also, while you’re here, please take a moment to enter my $25 Publix Giveaway.  It’s ending in just a few days, and as of this writing there’s less than 40 entries!  That’s very surprising to me, considering how much I know people love Publix,  and not to mention, it’s $25 in FREE groceries! Who wouldn’t want that?
Now feast your eyes upon this week’s yummy features!

LINKY TOOLS NOTE:  The owner of linky tools is doing a server upgrade, this includes moving ALL the thumbnails from every single linky party on every single blog out there.  So if you’re having problems seeing some of the thumbnails, that is the reason.  Please link up anyway, and hopefully this will be resolved soon! Thanks!

Even though the Valentine’s Day celebrations are over, I couldn’t resist featuring  more of your Valentine’s ideas.  Think of it as a Valentine’s Day after-party!

Before we get to this week’s features, I wanted to update you and let you know that I’ve got several great giveaways coming for the rest of this month, in celebration of reaching 1000 followers and in celebration of the one year anniversary of Friday Favorites. So be sure to come back and enter these! 
Also, be sure to check out my current giveaways.  I’m giving away a bottle of Simple Solution Stain Remover to two winners, and so far there’s only a few entries.  This is a great product, particularly if you like products that are safe to use around pets and kids, so please check it out.  And there’s also a fabulous dress giveaway  this week from Shabby Apple!
