Friday Favorites – Week 29

Hey guys! After an email conversation I had today with my good friend Cheryl at Tidy Mom, I’ve decided to mix it up a little tonight and say “Happy Thursday Night!” (as opposed to the Happy Friday I’m often chanting here.) I mean….I know it’s Friday Favorites, but for once let’s call it what it is.  It’s Thursday night!  I’m posting this on Thursday night, and I know that you’re all anxiously waiting at your computers so you can be the first to link up on Thursday night! (Or not!)
And then again, if you’re reading this, and it’s already Friday for you, Happy Friday! (Now all the bases are the covered!)

Anyway! I ‘ve very excited that you came to link up this week!  By the way, if you came last Friday and things were in disarray, it’s because I was having my blog template reconfigured and making some other changes as well. So I hope you like the semi-new layout!

Just one more thing before I get to this week’s party.  I’d like to invite you to enter the 3 giveaways in my sidebar.  All three of these have a very low number of entries.  I haven’t checked the numbers today, but I know they are a LOT lower than usual, and they’re all good prizes.  So go win it up!

Now let’s look at our featured posts!

Lemon Raspberry Delight from Once a Month Mom

Fall Decor for Entry from Le Chateau des fleurs by Frenchy

Zucchini Brownies from Anktangle

DIY Art Matching Game from Mother Lode
Now come and share your favorites with us for this week!  Please link to your actual post so that we can easily find your entry. And I’d love it if you’d let everyone know that your sharing your post for Friday Favorites at Simply Sweet Home!  Thanks!

Welcome and thanks for stopping by this week! Last week for week 25 we had 60 posts linked up here! Yay!  Thanks for all the great links!
By the way, I had one person who came by to link up and had problems doing so.  Apparantly the problem solved itself because they were able to link up later.  But if anyone did try to link up last week and was turned away, I apologize.  Sometimes these linky things have little glitches.  If anyone has problems in the future I ask you to please try linking up again, and if the problem continues, please let me know via email.
One other quick note or notes.  I just started a new giveaway for an etsy shop called Kinley Lane Designs.  We have a really cute prize, so please check it out!  Also, please help support my blog by visiting my newest sponsors! (Ads in right sidebar!)  And one more thing, if you’re interested my Sweet Thursday Dessert party will be held next week.  Please send in your email submissions by Tuesday or link up a the event starting Wednesday night! Thanks!

Friday Favorites – Week 22

Happy Friday everyone! Friday Favorites will be a little different this week.  I’ve been incredibly busy the last couple of weeks, cleaning out our outbuilding (& getting ready for a yardsale).  And then this week, I’ve also been helping my dad clean up at his house, because he’s getting ready to sell it and move to a smaller place.  So with all this going on, I did not get a chance to visit all your posts. (I only managed to get around to about half of them, but I will try to catch up this next week!) 
Anyway, since I didn’t get around to everyone, and since I worked 10 hours today and only just got home a couple of hours ago, I decided to share some some things that I found the other day when I was looking for recipes for my ice cream social post.  I’ve discovered that Betty Crocker has a ton of great snack ideas for kids.  And with summer here, and the new school year just around the corner, I had bookmarked a few things to share here for later. But since I didn’t get around to all the Friday Favorites stuff, I’ve decided that later is going to be now!  So I hope you enjoy these fun (& easy!) snack ideas for kids!

 Cheerios Frozen Bananas
Fudgy Banana Pudding Pops
Indoor S’mores
Banana Nut Snack Bars
I look forward to seeing all you posts this week.  Please link up with me below!

Friday Favorites – Week 21

Hello everyone! Welcome to Friday Favorites!
I’ve been working outside the home this week, and by outside, I literally mean outside! I’ve been going through boxes in our outbuilding, which is a job and a half! Basically I’m opening up a bunch of boxes that were packed 10 or even 15 years ago (and many not packed by me). And I’m reboxing, labeling, and reorganizing, and also setting some aside for a yardsale. Sounds fun, huh? Especially in the hundred degree heat! And then my mom has brought a ton of addtional stuff over for us to sale at our yardsale, so right now our building looks totally wrecked! Hopefully when we’re all done, I can take some photos, and it will make for a great blog post! So I guess you could say I’ve been doing some blog field work!
So anyway, because of that, I’ve spent very little time on the computer this week, but despite this, I still managed to visit all your posts this week, so yay! And I’ve also added a couple of giveaways for you, so all in all, I guess it wasn’t such a bad week for me in the blog world!
One quick reminder, next Wednesday/Thursday, I’ll be hosting the Summer Edition of Sweet Thursday, so please come by and link up your desserts! Also, as of right now, I only have a few submissions to be featured in the post, so I invite you to email your submissions to me by Tuesday! Thanks!
Now let the party begin, as we take a look at this week’s featured items! As always, I invite you to take my “featured” button for your blog if your post is featured!

Hand & Foot Sugar Scrubs from Give Me The Simple Life
Learn How to Paint an Artichoke at Mural Maker
Cajun Chicken Pasta from Newlyweds
Kid’s Snake Tie from The Paisley Cupcake

I’m excited to see what you’ve been blogging about this week! Please link up your posts below! Be sure to include a link back to my blog so that your readers will find our party. Thanks!
