It’s that time again…
grab your posts and get ready to link them up!!

So last weeks party was a bit insane…
I scheduled the post and then went out of town on a little date with the man
All was well when I checked in on the party to make sure it was up and running
and then Friday morning I got an email saying that the party post was gone.
and then Friday morning I got an email saying that the party post was gone.
So I hopped online and yep.. the post was gone.
All your comments were there- and the title- but the entire post and party had disappeared.
I apologize to all of those who were featured last week and didn’t get the full weekend feature.
There isn’t even a draft post to republish- I had to grab the link code and put up a new post.
That was the second post last week that had problems and I received several emails from you about problems commenting too.
So let’s hope that Blogger likes me better this week
and the party stays up with no problem!
This week~
I shared my ruffled drop cloth panels tutorial HERE
an English garden inspired patio makeover that I did with Kmart HERE
as well as a little post inspired by blooming lilacs HERE
How about a little sponsor love…
I already have a fountain out in the backyard and would love to put in a little
pond too … might be one of my Summer projects 🙂
Aquascape has lots of ideas and how to’s on putting a pond in
or creating a water feature in your yard

Kristin from Simply Klassic shared her gorgeous bed makeover…
amazing.
Debbie at Debbiedoos shared her twig wreath in it’s latest new color-
I say ‘latest’ because this wreath loves to get makeovers and has been several colors!
I think the green is perfect and with the burlap ribbon- so cute.

Thanks for hosting, Courtney.
Thanks for hosting, Courtney.
Courtney…I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Thanks so much for hosting each week! XO, Aimee
Hello Courtney,
It is unnerving when posts get messed up. I went through that some time back. I started saving posts in html form on a word document just in case. So easy to replace that way. Do love your drapery curtains – I need to make some for my green room….I am inspired – thank you for being a gracious hostess,
Kathy
Love what you did this week, Courtney! Great features! Thanks for hosting!…hugs…Debbie
Awww..thanks Courtney, you made my day a little brighter with the feature. Thanks for hosting!
My sympathies over blogger losing your post, and I hope things are back to normal for you. I just adore your bicycle with the lilacs in the basket from yesterday's post. (Makes me think of my childhood.) Thanks for hosting today's party and have a wonderful weekend.

First time visiting, first time posting, first time totally forgetting to feed any creature in the house – I was too absorbed in this party. I am actually back for day two. Have met a few friends over here and made some new ones. Two favorites stand out -#30 – the French fairy tale book covers and the beautiful farmhouse room at #82. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend!
