Talented Time Travelers in Focus #38


YOU CAN JOIN THIS WEEK'S PARTY—STILL IN PROGRESS—HERE!

But let's take a look at some of the creativity linked up last week first.



Sometimes it takes awhile for ideas to gel firmly in our minds.  But once the creative juices start flowing—watch out! 

That's exactly what happened to Lisa @ Lisa's Creative Designs, when she found this thingamajig in a local shop.  You'll have to pay her a visit to see what she did with it.


Do you possibly know someone who doesn't collect anything?!  I certainly don't.  And most of us enjoy sharing "why" we collect what we collect. 

The Happy Cottage Quilter @ JUST A LITTLE SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY shared her pretty collection of tea cups and pots—and a bit about her "why".


As I'm sitting here desperately trying to get this post put together, I find myself wishing I had followed the lead of Jessica @ utah county mom.  She custom made a board book for her little one to keep her occupied.

So why, at this very moment, am I wishing I had one of those cute books?  My precious two-year-old granddaughter is pulling and tugging on me wanting to play—while Grammy is trying to work.  ; )


Isn't this a wonderful way to embellish a cake in celebration of spring?  Not only did Emily @ THE FRENCH HUTCH decorate this lovely sweet treat, but she threw an entire "Happy Birthday Spring" party.


Well as always, there was lots of talent linked to the party.  So what ya got this week?

  5. The cake is beautiful and as always thanks for your party and nice party. I loved the towel idea as well and loved not buying a set of new towels better!

  7. Dear Liz... thank you for visiting my Post and becoming a Supporter. Yes, I guess I have the wanderlust urge from both heritages of each Parent... my Dad was Blackfoot-Apache and we lived a Nomadic lifestyle my entire childhood and it was one great adventure and a wonderful experience and way of life. Its in the Blood. *winks* It can be very difficult for me to stay put even though I have a lovely Home now.

    Blessings from the Arizona Desert... Dawn... The Bohemian
