Now that we've kicked off with an awesome giveaway, let's move onto the features!  This week I wanted to show off the wide variety of terrific projects shared each week.  There is something for every type of crafter and oodles of inspiration!

Our Crafty Soiree friends know how to par-tay!  I find amazing ideas for the perfect party each week, like this super cute Train Birthday party from Just Us Four.  Love how the cupcake sticks have a little train and "Two-Two" on it, get it? 

I am always in awe of the fabulous transformations you crafters can do!  Take this Barn Door to Coat Rack from The Modage Cottage?  I'd never think to do that and what a beautiful statement piece!

Each week we've also got home decor taken care of!  My current crush is on this Patchwork Headboard from Taking Time to Create.  I've been married over 12 years now, all of which have been without a headboard!  I think I have finally found the perfect fix for that.

There are also always tons of sewing projects, lots of talented seamstresses are willing to share their tips, tricks, and even their patterns!  I would totally wear a Pintucked Shoulder Shirt like the one from Sewing The Littleheart Collection.  Love how it's so forgiving in midriff.  Post baby #2 I need all the help I can get in that region!

Lastly, no discussion about how fabulous you all are would be complete without sharing one of the yummy looking dishes linked up!  I have yet to meet an enchilada I didn't like☺.  Add in the easy of a slow cooker and these Semi-Slow Cooker Spicy Avocado Chicken Enchilada's from Little Kitchen, Big Bites looks like a great one for when I need a filling dinner after a busy day of school and running around!
Thank you everyone for coming each week and sharing our unbelievable talents!  Now let's get linking!
