What to Weekends #150 ~ Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, dear friends! Linda and I are enjoying the day with our Families and praying that you are all doing the same! God Bless you, we are so grateful for each and every one of you! 

As promised, we are providing the link-up, so you can party, as you like! We wanted to share a couple wonderful Thanksgiving Images with you that Exquisitely Unremarkable linked up with us last week! Have a beautiful weekend and we'll see you back here next Thursday evening with all kinds of incredible Features! 

What to do Weekends #147 ~ Albeit a bit late!

Good morning, friends. Thank you so much for popping over. My sincerest apologies to you and my What to do Weekends Co-host, Linda from the incredible Crafts a La Mode!
I have no glib anecdotes for you. I have a head cold and bronchitis.  I don't know if it was the benedryl, or the Dayquil or the honey and cinnamon that did me in.  But, at the time the party was to be posted I was out of it and grateful for that! So, if this reads a little like a flu induced stupor, it is! 

With that said, Linda pitch-hit the party out of the park, all on her own. So major kudos to her for that.

I have been popping around and pinning your work during the past week and will continue to do so. I'm so grateful to tell you that if you pop over to Crafts a la Mode you will see Linda's awesome Features for the week. I, on the other hand, will have to make it up to you, I promise, I will, after I can crawl out of bed for more than a half hour at a time.

What to do Weekends #140

Welcome to What to do Weekends Party!
 Your hostesses, Theresa and Linda could not be more thrilled to have you here to kick off the Weekend and the Party!!
Theresa wanted to take a second to ask you for prayers for all the firefighters and the victims of the recent #ValleyFire. I live in Northern California and we are going through the most devastating Fire season in history. My county and several others near by have lost so many homes and lives, as well as, all of their belongings.  Such devastation is so very hard to see. I am okay. but many are not. Please, mention them in your prayers today, tonight, whenever you can. Their fight is just starting. We have pop up evacuation centers everywhere and we rush our clothing and as much supplies as we can to try and aid them. But, I'm afraid it will take alot of time for most. Thank you.
Thank you to all of you who come join us here with your wonderful Crafts, Recipes and DIY incredible creations with us every week~
