Welcome back to the work week!
I figured we could sweeten up the manic Monday by doing a little blog networking. I have some great posts scheduled this week that didn't happen last week (let's face it, life just kind of happens...) and I am really looking forward to sharing!
I hope you will take 15-30 seconds today to spread some Mingle Monday love! Any effort is appreciated, even a quick Twitter shout out or tiny mention in your blog post. The smallest effort means more to me than you will ever know!
In the next few days (because last week was an epic blog fail)...
+ vacation recap in photos - finally!
+ my latest workout playlist
...and more!
HOW TO MINGLE
________________________________________________________________________________________
I have a feeling it's going to be a great week.
After all, my bday is Wednesday, so it can't be that bad, right?! ;)

I have a few projects on my to do list including ombre dyed napkins, gold glitter vases, and a burlap table runner... all before Thanksgiving. Eeek! I hope I can find time to make it happen.
ReplyDeleteGosh I have loads I want to do, from Table runners to canvases. But our biggest one will be creating me a dressing room once the youngest moves out in December.
ReplyDeleteI have a few, fun, Christmas DIYs that I'm looking forward to trying. Fingers crossed, they work!
ReplyDeleteI want to DIY a huge inspiration wall! I think it's going to be my Christmas break project! Thanks for hosting Meg!
ReplyDeleteI would love to finish upholstering my wing back love seat for Christmas, it would be lovely in my dining room or entryway! Thank you for hosting, have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI had trouble putting the title for my pillows! Diy Christmas Pillows!
I have a burlap banner for Thanksgiving on my list.... not sure it will happen in time tho!
ReplyDeleteim terrible at DIY's but I'd like to make a few gifts this year...time to go on pinterest! xo jillian - stop by! I'm hosting a great jewelry giveaway on cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteI feel like everything my husband and I have been doing around the house has been DIY, but I have a few things I want to DIY for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We'll see if I actually get around to it though!
ReplyDeleteMeg - last week was one of those blog fail weeks for me too. Kinda hate it, but it just happens.
ReplyDeleteOn my DIY list, I have all kinds of projects! I really want to create some updated wall art, Thanksgiving and Christmas DIYs (especially wreaths) for around the house, and - the biggest project of all - reupholstering a love seat. The love seat isn't time sensitive though, so I probably won't get around to it until after the new year. Thanks for hosting!
Hey Meg! With a baby and work and everything in between, I miss posting as well. Life happens, right? :)
ReplyDeleteHoping to do some Christmas stuff with my son. Not sure how that will work though. :)

I've got so many Christmas projects on my DIY list at the moment including glitter ornaments!!
ReplyDeleteI need to get done a sign I'm giving away on my blog next week....totally procrastinating!
ReplyDeleteI have a few DIY, but I really need to make myself a new Christmas Wreath, I'm sort of done with the one I've been rocking for the past 5 years...time for a new one! Now, what to make, what to make...
ReplyDeleteSomething for Thanksgiving, but i'm not sure what yet. I've been on Pinterest for inspiration, but still looking for the one that speaks to me :). Thanks for hosting Meg!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I have so many DIY wishlists. I just wish (haha!) I had the patience for them. I would love to make wood pallet signs, shelves, repurpose an old piece of furniture, paint our office, and turn an old desk or cart into a new-ish looking bar cart. But those are just a few;)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Alyson
Oh my gosh, I am coming over to your casa for craft night! A burlap table runner and some cute gold glitter vases are right up my alley! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it so hard to choose? My DIY Pinterest board is FULL, but I have probably tackles about 2% of the projects? SO jealous of your cute upcoming dressing room - what a dream! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes!! Christmas DIY pallooza! So excited. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Laura, that sounds so spectacular. Where are you going to do your awesome inspiration wall? An office? Craft room? Kitchen? Sounds incredible.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - you must be a talented upholsterer! I would really love how to do that! And you're welcome for hosting - I love it! Thank YOU for coming to Mingle!
ReplyDeleteHow cute, Elle! I love love love burlap everything! Hope you had a great weekend - thanks for dropping by! :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha! That's okay, Jillian! :) I'm sure you can find some fail proof DIY tutorials on Pinterest!!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness - I know how that can go! And it's not always super fun either ;) But if you could get into fun holiday projects, that would be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteExactly! But you know what? I have to just tell myself that all of my blog friends understand and have been in the same boat! :) My holiday to do list is super long too! I can't wait to see how your wreath turns out!
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY! I am so comforted by the fact that you understand! Working full time and working away on a huge upcoming project (details to come soon!) has kept me so unexpectedly busy! :) Yes, life just kind of happens! Aww Christmas stuff with your babe? That sounds SO fun!!
ReplyDeleteI know, me too! I honestly don't even know where on earth to start! I love WAY too many projects! Your glitter ornaments sound so adorable!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I can't wait to see it! Is it holiday themed? Just fun inspiration? Yes, I hear ya, girl! I am the queen bee of procrastinating... *sigh*
ReplyDeleteAmen sister! I kind of love it when I "HAVE" to make a new one! ;) But how will you ever decide on a cute decor theme? Pinterest gives me way too many cute ideas and it's so hard to choose! :)
ReplyDeleteYou've got time! I can't wait to hear about what you came up with, Angie! :) Thanks so much for stopping by - I love hosting!!
ReplyDeleteME TOO! I need to carve out a solid DIY weekend or something crazy to tackle the ridiculous amounts of projects I save up. My husband thinks I'm nuts! :) Sounds like you have cute the list of awesome DIYs! So fun!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's holiday themed for a big #countdown2christmas blog hop I'm doing for the month of December but I wanted to highlight HOW I made the sign as well...struggling to find the motivation to properly stage, photograph and make it. Maybe more coffee is needed :-)
ReplyDeleteI have so many projects on my DIY list! I definitely need to finish all my craft fair projects, but am totally jonesing for a burlap wreath for the holidays! :)
ReplyDeleteI have so many DIY projects I want to get started! I especially want to knit a really warm hat for my fiance for Christmas. Time to get that yarn!
ReplyDeleteI started reading your comment and was hoping you would give me a good idea of what to do with the 2-3 old shutters I have. Keep me posted on any project ideas, girl!!
ReplyDeleteI bet you are one crazy busy woman, Jules!! I am crocheting like a mad woman, so I feel your pain! :) Oh my gosh, I love burlap Christmas anything!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet and thoughtful gift! I crochet and love it, but would really love to learn to knit!! Thanks for mingling, Bethany!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try to sew a pencil skirt - a polka dot one precisely but cannot find the right material which I have in mind. However I'm planning to look for it when I go back home (Malta) for our Christmas holidays and get my mum to guide me step by step:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the weekly linkup
