A little update and a lot of thanks!

Good Morning! Happy Thursday morning! I wanted to just take a minute to Thank you all so much for your prayers and support, whilst I continue searching for a place to call home. I, also, wanted to let  you know just exactly where I'm at, right now. God's Grace and your prayers have provided me with an extension at my beautiful little home! You may or may not recall that I had only 60-days to try and locate and move into a new place to call home. If not, you can read about it here.

Well, something wonderful happened.  I have packed 80% of my beautiful belongings up and purged like no other,  allst while I had to have things somewhat tidy for the realtor to show my home to prospective buyers! Wheww! Not something I would care to go through again. But, here's the thing, the offers on the house were either too low for the current owner or contingent on some thing or another......bottom line: It has NOT sold, and I have been granted an extension through August 31st!! A good month and a half past my original move out date!

Time for a New Adventure!

I have some news that I want to share with you today.

I have been abundantly Blessed for the past seven and a half years with this beautiful little two bedroom house that I have come to call home.  For those of you that have been following along with Shoestring Elegance, since I began just a few years ago, you have all seen, through each and every project or rose from my garden, how much I have enjoyed my house and living here, though every single picture, I have shared with you.(which also warms my heart to know those memories are captured, here!)

DIY Chalk Paint Tray With Transfer: MY Failure & Victory!

This post is way overdue. I have, actually, had this tray for almost two years. It has gone through quite a few changes, before I finally got back to business and settled on this as my final tray. And, I have to say I am truly enjoying it now!

Happy Thursday Evening &
Welcome back to What to do Weekends Party Party!
We hope you all have been having a wonderful week! We'd like to take a minute
to  thank you all so much for your Participation in our party! We truly enjoy seeing all your creativity and wonderful insights!   Thank you for returning and sharing with us each week!

As promised last week,  we will be adding a couple EXTRA features this week from last weeks party!
So, what have we been up to?
Well, I don't know if you've had a chance to check our Linda's Yummy Blueberry recipes yet, but if not, her Blueberry Breakfast Bake is one not to be missed! So yummy!

As for me, I have been working very hard on trying to complete my newest chalk paint tray, that has turned into an Epic Fail! But it is is on it's way to becoming a Beautiful Success! I should be able to share that with you tonight or tomorrow. Trays and chalk paint, they are bit of an obsession of mine, but I do use them all the time!  You can check out my first Chalk Painted Tray out HERE!

***Just Couple of Guidelines 

that we'd truly appreciate you taking into consideration.

We have prided ourselves on being a "no rules" type of party, and that will not change. We would appreciate it if, however, you:

~You wouldn't link up the exact same post 2 weeks in 

a row, our readers will have just seen your entry and we'd 

like to keep it fresh for them.

~We'd love to encourage you to share some of your last 

year's Spring posts, too! Please, do have a look at Linda's & Theresa's blog style (or niche, so-to-speak) and link appropriate and like-minded crafts, recipes, projects and Inspirations!

What to do Weekends #115

WELCOME TO THE PARTY, EVERYONE!!

Thanks to all the partygoers!! There are so many many wonderful ideas. Can I tell you it is excruciatingly hard to pick out features for this party because EVERYONE needs to be featured. I know how much thought (and work) goes into each blog post!  We try to pin several links because every link deserves some love. Do you agree? Let's pin together!! Pin the person ahead of you in the party.

Here's what we've been up to:

Theresa's apple and pear crisp that's also gluten-free. Nice.

Linda made a Bunny Basket out of an old pine drawer salvaged from the side of the road.

Follow our social media.. much appreciated.
