Welcome, welcome you fabulous party-goers you! 
We don't know about you, but we are seeing some pretty amazing things going on in blogland right now.
You motivate and inspire us every.single.day!
Before we get to highlighting some of those incredible projects, we wanted to remind you of the tutorial Heather (her sister is pretty proud of her hard work on this by the way!)  wrote about the new way to follow folks in this awesome blogging community.
It will take you through step by step instructions on how to make the most of this wonderful new tool for staying connected with other bloggers.

Now, let's get this party going!
Here are the features from last week.


Jan of Our Adventures in Southern Junkin' shared with us her incredible "Lightening Bugs in a Jar" fixture which we seriously covet. Yep, don't be surprised Jan if this goes missing from your porch. 
Just look for the 2 crazy sisters fighting over who gets to keep it!

Janel, of Hating Martha...Imperfection at its best, shared how she transformed her Ikea table into an awesome and unique piece. The mix of industrial with farmhouse is absolutely fantastic!

If you know us at all, you know we love a good party around here! When we saw the Publisher Clearing House Party hosted by Anna from Ask Anna Moseley, we both decided we wanted to be her “in real life” friends so we could attend all of the amazing parties she throws (and because she is pretty awesome too)! Seriously how hysterical and clever is this?!

Guests were asked to dress up like they imagined they’d look if someone showed up at the door with their winning check! This is Anna’s pastor and his wife…check out the babies “hanging” on her legs…what a riot!

Rusty and Redone created this one of a kind Topiary. We just love how much charm and character it has and that she went way out of the box in creating it!

We “warmed” right up this this yummy looking White Hot Chocolate shared with us by Hollie of The Seven Year Cottage! A perfect drink for a cold winter evening!

Jamie from The Creative Imperative’s creativity shined through when she shared her Slipcovered Ruffle Purse Makeover.  People, she slipcovered a purse!! How ingenious is that!? It turned out so adorable…we are wondering what Jamie plans on slipcovering next?!
