FEATURES from my linky party #1

 Okay, so you ladies all have me rethinking this whole feature thing. I had the hardest time picking things to post!!! I was truly amazed at the things you linked up. Really. I looked at everyone and aganozied. Here are some of the things that were linked up yesterday.

WhipperBerry is one of my new favorite sites and I was thrilled when Emily linked up. You may remember when Emily guest posted here not that long ago. Amazing stuff! Just like these cookies. There are instructions and the recipe HERE.

Kayla from Crafty Kayla has created buttons that you can add to your blog for Christmas. You can have one for FREE. Just visit her site, pick your fav, and grab the code. I like this one. Thank you Kayla!

I saw these and fell in love! Chalkboard paint is big right now. How fun are these chalkboard ornaments! Nicole from Coley's Corner made them. I think they would make cute gift tags too. I love/hate when I get darling homemade tags. I love them because they are adorable, and hate that I have to just throw them away. These you could reuse! Although, I could totally see my boys re-writing their name on all of them! So maybe just for neighbor gifts :) Go see them HERE.

 Who in the world would walk into the grocery store and see copper pot scrubbers and think "I could totally make a wreath out of those." Laurie from the Scene of the Grime did! Seriously! I can't believe it. It is so awesome. You need to go read her post. I love it.

I (heart) snowmen. And I really like these yarn ones from Jocelyn at Inside BruCrew Life. They are simply adorable!!!

Sourkraut is a fellow lover of cupcakes. She had me at Oreo. . .  She linked up some Oreo cupcakes that I am going to have to try. YUM!

 So I am a germaphobe. That probably isn't a word since spell check highlights it every stinkin' time. But I love me some hand sanitizer. I currently have 8 bottles of various sizes in my house. It would be great to have one that actually looked cute. Problem solved. Check this out! And you know I love snowmen too.  Bonus. Thank you Michelle from Craft and Crap for linky this bad boy up! Love it.

 Her title had me sucked in even before her beautiful picture. "free and easy. . . " SOLD! I love crafts like that. I saw these on a tv show once but forgot about the idea. I am so glad Selina from Creative Juice Decor linked these ice candle holders up! It makes me want to host a Christmas party!

 Kris at Everything Orange beautiful tree in like 5 minutes! You will have to see the tutorial yourself to see how easy it was. Cheap and easy. Just how I like it. I know there's a joke in there somewhere. . .

I am on the hunt for some old brass candle sticks after reading this post and seeing Tracie's gorgeous centerpiece! Go visit Cleverly Inspired to see how she did it!!!

 I love pumpkins. If you were around this fall you already know that! When I saw this snowman from Jamie at Caught in Grace, my jaw dropped. How clever and absolutely adorable! Go see the tutorial HERE .

 I just want to thank everyone who linked up. I pushed "publish" and went to bed feeling like I was going to throw up. I was worried no one would link up. I woke up and hoped and hoped there would be at least 3. Please just give me three I said. 55! You guys rock!!! And thank you to those of you who listed me at the end of your post or on your sidebar. I appreciate you getting the word out about this party. 

Don't forget to grab my button if I featured you!!! And have a great Wednesday :)
