Now onto the link up. This week’s featured blog is Making Pinterest My Reality where Kim showed us how she had fun making princess masks with her daughter.

Creative Me Link Up.

Hi, everyone! Welcome to another Creative Me link up. It’s another week of inspiration, sharing, and bragging on yourself a little bit. It’s okay to brag on yourself a little, right? Just incase you’re uncomfortable with that, allow me to brag on you a bit… You are awesome! You make time to be creative, you bring your ideas to fruition, and you come here to link up with our little party. Thank you so much!

I have a little surprise for you. I have added one more contributor to The Southern Institute team! Her name is Tiffany and she blogs at The Nesting Project. She has linked up with Creative Me several times and will be our resident Foodie. Tiffany will be posting every third Tuesday of the month, which means you’ll see her here tomorrow. Be sure to come by and welcome her. I am so excited to have her joining us. If you hop over to her blog for a few minutes you will see why. You can read her bio here too. She is going to bring so much to our community!

This week’s featured blog is That’s What She Said, where Lisa shared the border that she made out of ribbon. Again, such a great idea from The Southern Institute readers! I would not have though of doing this.

I’m so excited that you linked this up, Lisa! Way to go!

Hello everyone! It’s another edition of Creative Me! Here’s a little Father’s Day gift wrap inspiration for you. You can use a length of ribbon to create a tie on your gift box…

Tuck the card under the tie like I did, if you like. Very manly, don’t you think?

Are you ready to link up this week? Each week I use random.org to choose a featured blog for the coming week. This week’s featured blog is Bilingual Crafting and Sewing where Catrin showed us how to make a cute little fabric apple.

The really fun thing about Catrin’s blog is that she does her posts both in German and English, thus the name! I learned that apple is apfel! Pay her a visit and check out her blog when you have a moment.

Okay, now it’s your turn!
