Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing how to give a book a new look by creating an easy scap paper DIY book cover and ribbon book mark. This was a totally impromptu craft inspired by a free book that I found on the library “free books” cart when I went to check out my new classroom today (Yay! My middle school choir students are getting an actual classroom! No more teaching on the stage in the auditorium! I digress…) Read more

Happy Monday everyone, and welcome to the 98th All About Home Link Party! Can you believe how fast summer is flying by? The Fourth of July is NEXT WEEK! There are so many crafts, recipes, gardening and home decor summer projects to try out… and so little time! I went to Hobby Lobby for the first time since spring and FALL decorations were out. UGH. I love fall but I am just now getting into summer! The first day of summer was actually just a week ago. Fall can wait a bit!

I always look forward to taking the time each week to slow down and catch up with everyone here at the party to share what I have been up to and see what everyone else has been doing too. It finally stopped raining, so I have been spending almost all my free time in the garden. Now it is getting way too hot, so I will be spending more time indoors which might mean a little more time to try out some of the fabulous ideas shared here at the party!

Hello and welcome to the 97th All About Home Link Party! Summer is here and it’s hot and humid…with rain, rain and more rain. I have been trying to get my gardening done in between the rain storms, while doing the house cleaning and detoxing our upcoming yard sale when it’s raining too hard to be outside. How is your summer weather so far?

I also am in the mood for some crafting, so I am looking forward to seeing what everyone shares tonight. I am sure I will find some projects to inspire! I am so glad you are here to party with us and I hope you will be inspired too! Read more

Hello friends and welcome to the 96th All About Home Link Party! I hope everyone’s summer is off to a great start! Have you been having tons of rain? It hasn’t seemed like summer vacation yet because it has been gloomy and rainy almost every day since school let out. Today the sun has been shining and I was able to a little gardening and purging in preparation for our yearly rummage sale, so I am feeling a bit accomplished. I am excited to take a little rest this evening to enjoy the party and catch up with all of you too!
