Welcome back to Keep Calm & Link Up!

Hi everyone! Thanks to all of you who linked up last week! We’re so happy to have you back every week! This time, make sure to bring a friend…let’s make this party the biggest yet!

First, some feature love!

The most viewed link belonged to Tonii of Blue Skies Ahead with her {Washi Pumpkin}.

Washi tape is so versatile and fun to work with! No need to carve a pumpkin these days, just add some washi tape and call it ‘done’ in a jiffy! Great job Tonii!

We each chose our favorite features as well.

Meredith loved the {Trick or Treat Candy Jars} from Two Yellow Birds Decor.

What do you get when you take dollar store candle holders, some glass jars, and glue?? Fabulousness that’s what! What an adorable and creative display for Halloween candy! Love it!

Barbara chose the {Give Thanks Fall Mantel} by Second Chance to Dream.

What’s not to love about that whimsical banner coupled with gold accessories against that red wall?! Barb even offers the free Fall printable to her readers. Go get one!

Sarah chose {Halloween Decor} from Alderberry Hill.

A modern take on a traditionally orange and black Halloween; why not use turquoise and red? Sarah has not left any stone un-turned with this modern and adorable display for her craft room! Yes, even the room where we create beauty, gets beauty!

Congrats to all those that were featured today!

We love this bracelet! Who needs to spend $100s on a Pandora Bracelet when you could make this beaut? So pretty!!

We each chose our favorite features as well.

Meredith loved the{Thrifty Earring Display} from Silver Boxes.

Stephanie simply added a coat of spray paint and turned this tray on it’s side to use as a pretty new earring display!

Barbara chose the {Repurposed Bathroom Mirror} by Pocket Full of Pink.

Can you believe this mirror has been in Karen’s bathroom for 10+ years!? The transformation is awesome!

Sarah chose {The Halloween Countdown Magnet Frame} from Smart School House.

Who isn’t excited for some serious trick-or-treating at the end of the month!? This countdown is sure to be a hit with kids and grown ups alike!

Welcome back to Keep Calm & Link Up!

Thanks so much to everyone that linked up last week! We’re thrilled with the continued success of our party and feel honored that so many of you have been with us since the beginning.

The most viewed link belonged to Kimberly of Simply Living with her {Fabric Scrap Garden Flag}.

How bright and cheery is this sweet little flag?! We love the simplicity of the design and the fact that she used fabric from her scrap stash! Great idea and beautiful work Kimberly!

We each chose our favorite features as well.

Meredith loved {Apple Cider Spiced Cake with Apple Butter Frosting} from Bird on a Cake.

I would love to know what Robin does with all of these delicious cakes she creates each week. Apples are good for you, so this cake must be too, right?!

Barbara chose {Fabric Pumpkins} by One Crafty Mess.

Tina desperately wants to grow her own pumpkins (as in a pumpkin patch…not just a few in the garden). Until that dream can be fulfilled she’s making some cute little fabric pumpkins instead!

Sarah chose {The Ultimate Scaredy Squirrel Birthday Party} from Atta Girl Says.

According to Scaredy, the secret to a great party is “all in the details”! Not a detail was missed in planning this birthday bash!

Welcome back to Keep Calm & Link Up!

Our party is growing every week and we want to thank each one of you for linking up and spreading the word!

The most viewed link belonged to Rachael at the The ReHomesteaders with {Caramel Biscuits}.

Don’t these look amazing? Her recipe is easy to follow, and they bake up fast! Perfect for those chilly Fall days!

We each chose our favorite features as well.

Meredith chose {Fall Burlap Wreath Tutorial} from Life on Lakeshore Drive.

What a simple and creative way to add color and depth to burlap!

This beautiful {and versatile} wreath can be updated to work well in different seasons!

Barbara chose {Paper Candy Corn Bunting} by One Creative Mommy.

Heidi uses card stock and ribbon to make this adorable bunting for Halloween {and the rest of the Fall season}!

She’s even sweet enough to offer a {free} pattern so you can make this in no time!

Sarah chose {Pom Cake Toppers} from Here’s to Handy Andy.

Liz used colored tissue paper and kabob sticks to come up with these cute cake toppers!

I bet these can be made in a variety of colors to work with every season! Adorbs!!

Welcome back to Keep Calm & Link Up!

Thanks so much to everyone that linked up last week! We’re thrilled that we passed 100 link ups and wanted to thank all of YOU for helping to spread the word about this new party! Thank you!

The most viewed link belonged to Jen of Frazzled 5 with her {Green Beans & Jeans}.

All we have to say is YOU GO GIRL! Jen is down from a size 16 jeans to size 12 and is wearing clothes that haven’t seen the light of day in ~~months~~ years!

We each chose our favorite features as well.

Meredith loved {Wrapping Homemade Bread} from Happy Hour Projects.

What a thoughtful {and creative} way to give bread and other homemade treats as gifts. It looks way better than a paper plate and saran wrap, don’t you think?!

Barbara chose {Table Re-Do} by Creative Carmella.

Carmella actually found this table at a store called Junk in the Trunk! How fun! And after taking a closer look, she discovered that it was made in the 1940′s. It looks great to me!
