Happy Wednesday!
Is it Wednesday already? Really is hard to believe how fast the days go by.
My Mom said now she knows why old people get up so early, they want the days to be longer.
I must be getting old too.
First, let me say a HUGE thank you to all the lovely comments on my sisters wedding day pics.
I have more to come.
My new party idea went pretty well too, and I will be trying it out for few more weeks.
ONE thing, I can’t stress enough…I say often, and I will continue to say it.
The NEWBIE party is for you to mix and mingle and make new friends.
It is NOT a link up and see who comes by to visit party.
It is NOT a huge traffic driven party either.
Most of my reader have their connections, and friendships made. Not that they don’t want more, however, this party is for YOU, to build the same time of relationships that it has taken some of us a year or two to get.
So with that being said, I will go onto some features for the week.
Meet Catherine, from Paisley & Polka Dot Thread.
Catherine took a really drab ugly looking chair and made it fabulous!
You know I am loving this burlap too.
Next meet Kat from Boulder Dam Cottage.
She redid a vintage couch.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE..is about all I can say!
Now I will go onto some other participants from the Newbie graduates and the DIY/CRAFT section.
Kathy from Petticoat junction is a very old timer Newbie graduate.
In fact, her blog just moved over to wordpress, and she lost a few things in the transition including followers and readers.
Her blog is fabulous.
Check out her first paint job with MMS milk paint.
Really turned out fabulous!
Next,
Sharon from Mrs. Hines class, shared some Living room tweaking.
Sharon has some great taste and style!
NOW onto the CRAFT/DIY section.
Meet Laura from Our Prairie Home.
Get ready to be wowed when you stop over to her place.
Laura has 6 children, and manages to still do fabulous projects, that just knock your socks off.
Today she shares Freezer paper transfer tutorials to create your own beautiful graphics on pillows.
I have always wanted to do this.
Last feature of the day…because I have LOTs to do, and seriously could sit here all day and night.
Pam from House of Hawthornes.
Pam took an ordinary plain Jane stool and made it fabuolous!
Go on over and see how she achieved it!
THANK YOU all for your participation, support and readership.
Really means a lot to me.
Oh and to my familyas well, because they ask me all the time these days about my blog, who reads it, if I made new friends, etc etc.
So that is nice to chit chat with them about it too.
Have a great day!

Thanks for the feature, Debbie! 🙂 Loved linking up! And it’s funny… All of the ones you chose to spotlight were my favorites too – and they are all FABULOUS! Such talented ladies – as are YOU! MWAH!

I can say that I became friends with some amazing bloggers that I met through your parties. The Newbie party and now the grad party are such great places to mix and mingle!

Cynthia
Thanks so much for the feature, Debbie! Great way to start the day. 😉 I will echo what Laura said and say that I have met many of my blog friends through your parties. And to anyone new reading this, the friendships that you develop online are very real and meaningful. So worth your while.
Thanks for all you do Deb!
Great features, Debbie! That couch makeover is gorgeous!
Great features. I love everything OurPrairieHome makes, and I think I better go over and meet PetticoatJunktion and the burlap chair, you need that in your house.

Just had a chuckle from you relating your mom’s point of view why we older adults like to rise and shine early in the morn. That made my day. Bless her.

There are SO many talented ladies that visit you here. I know I want to learn how to make those pillows! Enjoy your week, my friend! Sweet hugs!
Debbie, I must say hats off to you. I began blogging because I stumbled into your blog and got the linking parties and know lots of inspiring and friendly bloggers. Your platform not only got me know the fabulous ideas of crafts, living and all sorts….., I’ve also learnt and improved my English. The featured blogs are great.
Terrie from Hong Kong
I’ll be clicking to several of these features for the bigger picture. I need some inspiration in a big old way.
Also wanted to tell you that I just saw the wedding cake post below. Tell your sister that she is partly to blame for me starting a pin board called “Dreaming” for wedding pins. Neither of my daughters is even in a serious relationship yet, but a mom can dream. My younger one would just love that daisy cake.
Great features! I’m glad you’ve added newbie graduates to the party. Now maybe I can join up again!
those are some great features! Hard to pick a favorite.The pillows with the graphics on them really caught my eye!
Well, if I could just snatch that red chest through the computer, I would. Love it! Really, there are some very talented folks here all the time ~ the featured bloggers are outstanding! Thanks so much for sharing!

I missed a few of those while entertaining my company. I am off to visit and catch up now! 🙂
Love that I can party as a Grad now :)))) What a great idea!!
Debbie, Thanks for the feature. You helped me get my start in the blog world and I’m still plugging away. I’ve made some great e-friends and hope to meet them someday at a blogger conference maybe. I just realized you featured the red cabinet. I would have thanked you sooner. Awesome!
