Link Party

Friday Flair Link Party // Happy Friday everyone!! We are in the middle of snow day part deux here in Lincoln. The funny thing, we really didn't get too much snow, maybe 6 inches at the most. For this Vegas family, snow days are a fun new idea that we are totally relishing, so we aren't complaining. We've decided that we are having a Harry Potter Marathon today and I'm sure some magic in the kitchen will happen.

This week has been a little slow around here, I know.  I have to admit… I'm in a bit of a creative slump at the moment. We all go through it at times. I actually took to my Facebook page last night to see what other's do when they lose their creative mojo. You should go check it out. There are several really good ideas. Come share some of your own, I would love to see how you stay creative when you're in a bit of a funk. But, Don't you worry… I'll be back with some fabulous ideas next week. 

Now for this week's inspiration… I've been craving the flavors of spring this week. I bet you couldn't tell after my 36 Spring Recipes that I want to try post.  I wanted to share some amazing salad bowls that I found from a stylish shop called Wind and Willow Home on Etsy.

Aren't they just bright and cheery? I just love how they look and I would LOVE to share all of my favorite sping salads in these little beauties! Nice work Wind and Willow Home. You should go check out all of their work, everything that's in their shop is stunning!

Now let's get the PARTY Started!!

 

 

 

Friday Flair Link Party // Good morning my friends!! I hope everyone had a fabulous Valentine's Day. My sweetheart and I had fancy dinner out at a Thai restaurant here in Lincoln called the Blue Orchid. The dinner was good, but we had a coconut cake that was magical!! I may have to work on recreating it for WhipperBerry one of these days. It was topped with young coconut and man it was amazing. As for Valentine's Day on WhipperBerry, I feel like I still needed another week in order to finish all of the fun ideas that I wanted to post about. Oh well, next year! I did manage to post a round-up of some fun Classroom Valentine's Day ideas yesterday and I will actually post some other valentine's ideas today that I found through the last few weeks of Friday Flair parties. I know, I know… But, with Pinterest we can "PIN" them they can inspire us for next year. 

Speaking of inspiration, I have a photo that has inspired me many times. I just love it. Of course it's from the talented Baker's Royale…

All I have to say is… I want to be Naomi from Bakers Royale when I grow up. I have featured many of her photos here during Friday Flair, but I think this one is my favorite, It's her S'more Eclairs and they are just divine. The s'mores are stunning but the composition of the photo is awe inspiring. Now, let's see what you've been up to this week!!

Let's Get the Link Party Started!!

Friday Flair Link Party // Hello all! Have you missed me this week? (yea, I know… not really, you probably didn't know that I was gone.) If you've been following my Instagram feed, you would know that I'm in Chicago for the Chicago Auto Show. I've been here as a guest of Nissan North America for their Social Media Preview and I've been having a grand time. No, I'm not going to all of a sudden become a car blogger, but I do have a love and appreciation for cars. It was fun to see the glitzy launch of the new Toyota Tundra this morning, the Kia Cadenza and Forte. I really loved the Nissan Nismo line… a girl can dream, right? The whole trip has started a new thought process for me… How involved are we in the decision making process when it comes to buying our cars? What's most important to us has Moms? You know, the ones who spend hour upon hour driving the kiddos around. Are cars just something to get us from point A to point B or are they more important? New vs. used? Is style more important than function? Purchase vs. Leasing? There are so many things to think about when making a vehicle purchase for your family. Believe it or not, the car makers are listening. They want to know what's most important to you. They even have a special women's day at the Chicago Auto Show on Tuesday, February 12th. They will be having special activities that day just for those of us ladies. If you are close to Chicago, this is a fun activity to attend, the whole family will love it! The show open on Saturday the 9th and runs throught the 18th.

Now, on to our inspiration photo for this week's Friday Flair. I found this fun cake topper idea for Valentine's Day from The Paper Pony…

Isn't that cute? I would love to have that on my Valentine's Day table for my family this year. Visit Raya and see how she made this fun topper. Now let's move onto the party so we can see what you've been up to these last couple of weeks! Last weeks Friday Flair was prempted by my ULTIMATE Getaway Giveaway.  I hope you all had a chance to enter, the giveaway is still running so… you still have time if you haven't entered yet!

Let's get the link party started…

Friday Flair Link Party // All I have to say is… YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!! Last week during the first Friday Flair of the new year, I wasn't sure what to expect and you all blew me away. You know, it's kind of a funny world us bloggers live in. We sit here in our homes, behind our computers, working on our projects and you never really know who's out there checking out all of your hard work. Sometimes you wonder if anyone really cares, so it's such a wonderful feeling to find out that people do care, so I thank you so much for coming back every week to share in this fun little party. 

I am working on several new projects that I'm excited to share. I have a cold weather project that you can work on with your kiddos, a video on how to do some advanced techniques with your Silhouette,  some great recipes and valentine's projects galore. I am also working on making WhipperBerry a little easier to use, so stay tuned for all kinds of fun things.  But… enough about me, here is this week's inspiration photo from Minimally Invasive. It's a two ingredient chocolate mousse that I am going to have to try!
