a super easy diy and christmas link party here, now!

The participants of the 12 Days of Christmas Tour of Homes decided it would

 be great to have YOUR Christmas Tour links show up on ALL 10 of our blogs!

That means more beautiful Christmas ideas for you, my readers, and 10 times the

 exposure for the awesome tours you've put together if you're a blogging friend! 

Link up once at the end of my post and you're on all 10 of our blogs.

Today I'm thrilled to be sharing another project over at A Blissful Nest, it's super

 easy, costs less than $2 and Rio approves! I'd love you stop by and check it out here.

  

Now it's your turn...share your Christmas Tour...

fess up friday

I'm sure you all know Elizabeth at Little Black Door, and her infamous series, 

Fess Up Friday, where bloggers confess embarrassing traits, reveal their hoarder

 rooms or worse. Well, I'm up today and all I have to say is, "What was I thinking?!!"'

Elizabeth is the sweetest, witty as all get out and just as talented! I love her style,

 traditional with an unexpected twist, she perfectly captures one-of-a-kind sophisticated,

 bursting with a lively and playful vibe.

A girl after my own heart she is a die-hard antique hunter and thrifter, I love her

  Instagram feed,  a fun find is always popping up.  

I've lost track of her magazine features, but she has a huge spread in the current issue

 of Better Homes and Gardens Refresh!  Congrats, E! 

This beautiful kitchen and dining room of one of her design client's was also featured.

One of my favorites was her Christmas Home Tour last year, in keeping with her

 style it was charming, eclectic and filled with fun traditions! Check it out here. 

Didn't I do a great job of distracting you from heading over? 

If you really want to check out my embarrassing confession go here. :)

Have a wonderful weekend, wonderful friends!!! 

a fun friend and favorite 5...

Hope you all enjoyed a fabulous weekend! We spent a fun night with friends

 watching our Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Actually, the guys watch 

baseball, and the girls catch up and join in for 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame.'  I have

 no idea what the score was or who is on our team, but it's the perfect summer outing! 

I'm super excited to be hanging out over at my talented friend, Jennifer's blog today!

She shares her inspiring DIY projects and fab style in her signature color green,

 over at Dimples & Tangles.  In addition , she's one of the blogosphere's sweetest, 

if her blog is new to you these are a few of my favorites you're sure to love, too!
