Friday Favorites – Week 154

friday favorites

Happy Valentine’s Day! And welcome to another edition of Friday Favorites. Since I was such a slacker last week, and since I’ll be going out for Valentine’s Day tonight and I don’t know if the WordPress coding issues are over yet, I’m starting the party a little early. I’m also doing a double feature for you this week since I didn’t get a chance to do features last week.  However, I think I had more link ups than ever before, so perhaps I should be a slacker more often. haha!  Hope you enjoy these fun ideas from our friends!

owl-thanks
At the start of a new year I always like to assess what I did last year on the blog.  Today I FINALLY wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who supported my blog in 2012.  I was given a lot of great opportunities last year, and I couldn’t have that without great blog readers and friends.  I couple of weeks ago I got my “2012 Report” from WordPress, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank and recognize my top commenter, referrals, and some other folks who really helped out last year!

Valentine Dryer Sheet Wreath

Dryer Sheet Wreath

Although I make jewelry, I’ve never otherwise considered myself to be a very crafty person.  I believe I can cook…people love my cooking!  And I also love to write poetry and write here on this blog.  But my attempts at art are generally bad!  For this reason, I try to keep projects simple!  One thing that I’ve found just about anyone can do is make wreaths!  Today I’ve got a very simple Valentine’s Day Wreath that I made out of used dryer sheets!

Yes, you read that right—dryer sheets!  So basically today we have simple, crafty, economical project, and a form of recycling all rolled in to one post! [Read more…]
