Friday Flair Link Party // Well, we've made it to another Friday! I've been doing double duty these last two weeks. During the day I am a mild mannered Mom / Blogger and in the evening I've been channeling my inner drama geek. My daughter Hales has been working hard on her school production of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory and I've been helping with Lobby Decorations and a little set designing as well. Super Fun!! My sweet husband has been playing Mr. Mom at night with the other kiddos. Sweet Guy!! It's just so amazing to watch how hard these kiddos work to pull together such a fabulous show!

This next week, I'll will be traveling to Orrville, Ohio to visit the J.M. Smuckers Headquarters to do a little pre-holiday prep!

I'm joining several talented bloggers to learn all about the Smuckers Family. We will be sharing our Holiday traditions and learning about some new ones that I'm sure will be fun to add to this Holiday season. I can't wait to share all the goodies with you next week.

Also, next week… I have a handful of aaaamazing giveaways that you won't want to miss. Make sure to be here bright and early on Monday morning. Don't forget to enter this week's Silhouette Portrait GIVEAWAY running right now, and take advantage of this month's aaaamazing Silhouette promotion. The Holidays are right around the corner… It's time to start stocking-up for all that Holiday crafting!!

How about last week's Friday Flair?! So many lovely posts. Here are a few that caught my eye…

spider web cookies from it's always autumn // halloween owl cake from bird on a cake // gooey monster eye cookies from lil' luna

Friday Flair Features // Happy Monday everyone!! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. I corralled my family on Saturday to do some yard work in preparation for the lovely Spring and Summer months. Living in Las Vegas for almost 9 years, we haven't had a real yard, much less a place to play outside. If you don't have a pool, you really don't hang out in your tiny yard, ever. If you want to spend some time outside, you go to a park. When we moved to Lincoln I was soooooo excited to finally have a house with a fun yard!! I've been working on gathering some fun yard furniture and festive decorations to make it a magical place to hang out during the warm months. I found a table and a set of chairs on Craig's List and I started painting them Saturday…

I also started my herb garden, another first for me. I can't wait to have fresh herbs that I grew myself!! I have a plan for a hanging herb garden in order to keep the critters away. I'm sure as soon as my seedlings are ready I will post about my fun plan. For now, I planted the seeds in little pots and used some wooden spoons from Sweet Baking Supply shop to mark the types of seeds that I planted. The just look so cute!

Another project from this weekend was a new printable for the Printable Club later this week. May's theme is Cinco de Mayo so I created a colorful Fiesta sign for your celebrations. I've had a sneak peek at the rest of the printables and they are fabulous!! Make sure you come back on Wednesday, you'll have access to all of the stylish Cinco de Mayo printables.

Now for this weeks Friday Flair Features! If you haven't had a chance to check out all of the post to the party, you have to run over and check them out. There were a ton of fabulous ideas, especially recipes that will be a great addition to your collection. Here are a few of the projects that caught my eye…
