Creative Me Linky Party… Happy Thanksgiving!

November 18, 2012 By Jenny Yarbrough 22 Comments

Well, the countdown to Turkey Day is ON and I can’t wait! I love Thanksgiving and the meal that goes with it. I love having family over and cooking together. I love bringing it all together, sitting down as a family with all of the kids around, and gobbling it up! I love the mindfulness that Thanksgiving brings… we have so much to be thankful for, don’t we?

Before you enter the linky party today or click off of this page,

Creative Me Linky Party.

August 12, 2012 By Jenny Yarbrough

Welcome to the Creative Me linky party!

It’s time to link up your favorite projects and inspire someone this week! Maybe you’ll be inspired along the way as well. I know I am each and every week. We had a great link up last week. Oh, and did you all enter the Moo.com giveaway? You could win 100 free business cards to use however you please! Make sure you stop over at that post and link up because the giveaway is almost over!

I’m happy to report that the first full week of school passed with no problems whatsoever! I am so proud of my sweet children. They love school and they love to learn. I think a sign of a secure and well adjusted child is that they can be presented with new situations and challenges and make the best of them. What a joy to watch them grow!

Are you ready to link up? My favorite part of this link up is seeing who gets the featured spot for the week. This week’s featured blog is Happy Hour Projects. Adrianne made an adorable bird applique and included a tutorial! If you’ve never used applique, this is a great tutorial to start with.

I love seeing what you all are creating! So now it’s your turn…

Have a great week, everyone! See you here tomorrow!
