Scrappy Saturday 

YES! Scrappy Saturday is back after a 3 week hiatus!  Things have just been so crazy this past month it took my a while to get around to renewing my inlinkz account.  But I am excited to have it back on and can't wait to see all the awesomeness you all have in store!  Our house was just listed on the market and we had our first showing today, we will see how it all goes but that has been keeping me busy...normally I like MAKING messes with my kids, having fun and doing projects and now I'm constantly cleaning and avoiding messes...ANYWAYS...

I also have an announcement to make.  August 19 I will be one of the co-hosts of the One Day Once a Month Thee Networking Blog Hop hosted by Kelly at Live Laugh Rowe

Scrappy Saturday and Tyrone Wells

Scrappy Saturday

Hey Hey!!! Happy Saturday!  Thanks for coming by and being part of the party!  And before getting down to business, I'm still super happy from thursday night when I got to see Tyrone Wells in concert.  He is such an awesome artist, with really great music that is positive, upbeat and just all around good listening! Great songwriting, singing, and playing! I heard him for the first time probably close to 6 years ago when on my way to Art History class at WSU and I heard some music coming from the CUB (cafeteria) and slipped in real quick to see what it was.  He happened to be singing one of my favorite songs by LIVE "Lightning Crashes" (yes while my friends were listening to MMMbop by Hansen I listened to Lightening Crashes by LIVE, Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins and Zombie by Cranberries on repeat...oh 7th grade...a good year) anyways, Tyrone was just amazing...so I was inspired to skip class and listen to the rest of his set.  He's come a long way since then, but still not nearly as well known as he should be!  SO, if you like finding new good music, and you haven't listened to him yet, check him out! Or just head over to Pandora and create a Tyrone Wells station :)

 Tyrone Wells was nice enough to chat and take pictures!

Tyrone Wells at the Slowdown in Omaha

He is currently touring with Joe Brooks who was also really talented with a great voice

Scrappy Saturdays #8

Scrappy Saturdays Week 8

or should I say crappy Saturday because I blew it!!!

Hey you guys!  yeah....HEY YOU GUUUYYYS!  um, don't know why I was thinking about the Goonies, but anyways, sorry to anyone who came to link up earlier today and wasn't able to...I know. so annoying when Link Parties don't show up when they are supposed to! I had such a busy, tiring week I may have lost my mind a few times...like last night I was cleaning up after dinner and my husband asked why I threw all the good untouched chicken off my daughter's plate down the drain rather than put it in the fridge....um...as I was telling him "I didn't even think about it..."  I realized I was spraying water all over the countertop instead of in the sink where I was supposed to be spraying dishes....um....yeah.  that kind of gives you an idea of how my brain functioning has been this week.  So I spaced on the blog this weekend...oops! 

ONTO THE FEATURES! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! And Inspire me so much each week with all your creativity and great ideas and I love seeing how everyone's projects turn out!

Love these Henna Design Paper Lanterns by Creative Mind

What beautiful freehand artwork!

I immediately fell in love with these Fabric Bookmarks!  These are so adorable, would make great gifts and I think anyone with a little bit of sewing scraps would be able to make quite a few of these babies!!!  Check out the tutorial at Quiver Full of Blessings.  I love the rolled rosettes on them.

Now this is one of the most original projects I've seen, using old magazines to make a magazine bowl! WOW to Saved by Love Creations, thanks for sharing, can't wait to see that video tutorial!

I can't go on without featuring one of the great seasonal projects linked up! I love these mummy vases! I want to make some for my mantle!  Looks like a quick and easy project....right up my alley!!!  Check them out at Freaking Craft.

I Love this patchwork pillow as a way to use up scraps of fabric! Check out the tutorial from vixenMade.

Scrappy Saturdays #7

Scrappy Saturdays

Saturday Link Party

I'm feeling scrap-dap-dappy today!  How about you?  I can't wait to see what you all have come up with this week, it is so fun each weekend to see all your creativity and glean inspiration from your posts!  Like I mentioned last week I've been spending my crafty/artsy time making things for my etsy shop (to open soon) and a fall arts & craft fair (my first one) and it's been fun trying to squeeze it in.  But as a result I miss having more create-ing projects to post.  Can't wait to see what everyone has been up to!

Featured Posts

so many great ideas!

I'm loving this copy cat 3 tiered stand by Life as a Thrifter and the arrangement she made with it.  What a great piece using candle sticks and old pie pans!

And I love how house of earnest used fabric scraps to quickly dress up this impromptu centerpiece.

I like these pumpkins made from scrap wood 2x4's however, my 4 yo daughter is peeking over my should saying "what are you looking at?" "pumpkins, aren't those cute?" she says "um, no. They are flat, they don't look like pumpkins." lol, sorry lollyjane, but I think your pumpkin trio is great! :)

Sweetwater Style linked up her sweater pillow made from a recent goodwill find.  I love the sweater pillows too and she also links for quite a few good tutorials if you are looking to make one yourself! Thanks!

OK I wasn't goiing to post this many features but it's so hard, I'm still limiting myself with 5! you guys rock!  Anyways, this sign is so sweet, I want to make one.  I just love the quote "A Father is a son's first Hero and a daughter's first Love"....precious!  Thanks Lady with the Red Rocker!

WOW! I honestly can't believe it's Saturday already!  The weekend kind of snuck up on me this week it's been busy! Here are the featured posts from last week..

I L-O-V-E this lace and denim skirt refashion by Babblings and More I want one and I know my daughter would gladly take one too! 

I have been really enjoying all the fall wreaths and this is the first Argyle one I have seen....and love the owl detail!  Check it out over at For Mamas. By a Mama

Check out these great homemade window treatments at Beyond the Screen Door but not only that, I like all the other decor and arrangements you get a peek at in her picutures.

AND because we can't get enough of the different ways to use pallets, here are a few things Reno and reorganization does it
