Happy April and welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I am so excited to be co-hosting this fabulous party with Katherine of Katherine’s Corner and a fantastic group of bloggers for this inspiring weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers!

If you would like to make some new friends,  grow your blog audience, or just find some weekly inspiration, this is the place to be! *Bloggers: Please leave a comment with the number of your link up for a chance to be featured at next week’s party. The hosts are all looking forward to what you’ll share this week! (If you missed the last party and the AWESOME features, you’ll find it here.) To get the party started, here’s what I have been up to recently

On Monday I joined several blogging friends for a fun Mother’s Day blog hop with a garden theme! I shared some cute DIY Painted Garden Birds that I will be gifting to my mom in her Mother’s Day garden gift basket. Check out my post to see how to quickly and easily transform dollar store birds with a little bit of craft paint.

You will find links to all of the participants’ creative “Mother’s Day in the Garden” ideas at the end of my painted birds post.

“Throwback Thursday”

This week’s Throwback Thursday post will give you plenty of ideas creating Charming Door Gifts for May Day and Mother’s Day.
