Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #187



Messy Messy Fail - I cannot believe I bought light-up sneakers for the toddler.  He talked me into it.  I said I would never, but I gave in.

Tidy Victory - I have managed to make my gel manicure from the beginning of the month last until now - NO CHIPPING until today lol, but I think that's pretty darn good!



Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone. We hope you are having a safe and fun end~of~summer, beginning~of~fall few days. Before I share the Happiness is Homemade Link Party 187 and this week's features with you, I just have to say, as a Texan, thank you for the outpouring of support and prayers for my state. I'm in Dallas, so, except for some rain, cooler temperatures, and long lines at the gas stations (and inflated prices), we have not been directly affected by the devastation experienced by our fellow Texans to the south. You may just think of Texas as a really big state in area, but it's our heart and sacrifice that makes us who we are. As you've seen on TV, we believe in helping ourselves and helping each other, not waiting for someone from somewhere outside our borders to come rescue us. Neighbors helping neighbors. Thankfully, everyone we know personally is safe. I know a lot of Texas bloggers who have had some damage to their homes. It will be a long time before things are "normal" again, but keep those thoughts and prayers coming our way. Texas will rise again. Blog newsletter signature in color

Our Features this Week

Happiness is Homemade Link Party 187. The place to share great home decor, DIY, recipes, crafts. Like an online shelter magazine for lifestyle inspiration. 

  For our features this week, I went with a farmhouse/DIY theme because we love farmhouse anything and DIY is near and dear to our hearts. Let's start with Michele from The Scrap Shoppe who made these awesome storage bins from fabric. Think of all the decorative possibilities since you can chose the colors and patterns and size you need for your decor.
