Swing into Spring - It's a Party - #13

Welcome to this week's Swing into Spring party.  Even on a holiday week there were more than 100 linkups.  So much inspiration and creativity.  It's always hard to pick just a few, but here are this week's features:
Shelley from Crazy Wonderful created these chalkboard coasters.  I love the idea of using chalkboard paint in this way.  So creative.  Hope you go and check out more of her wonderful blog.
I have a thing for bird's nest used in decorating...I just love it.  These shadow boxes created by Liz Marie really caught my eye.  Please stop by her blog to read all about how she created these.
Love these drop cloth pillows created by Stephanie over at Junker Newbie.  Stop by her blog to read the full tutorial.
Look at this gorgeous chest of drawers.  You have to drop by The Homeless Finch to see where this dresser began.  It's an amazing before and after and there's a great story behind the chest of drawers.
You have to check out The Exchange to see how she covered basic drum shades with fabric.  It's a great tutorial with step by step directions.

If you were featured, please grab an "I've Been Featured" button (you can now find my buttons by clicking on the buttons tab right under my header).  Now let's get started with this week's party.  I can't wait to see what you have been up to.  Link up anything you have been working on...home decor, sewing, crafts, organizing, baking, recipes etc.     I will keep this link open through Friday.






A few rules:
1.  Please become a follower.  

2.  Please grab my party button above and display it either on your sidebar or somewhere in your post.  This way word can spread about the party.  The more people at the party, the more fun we will have.

3.  Please enter the link to your actual post, not just a link to your main blog page.

4. Please visit others who have linked up.   Everyone works hard on their projects and blogs...let's show each other some love by visiting each other.  Let's have some fun and hopefully make a few new friends along the way.

Ok...Let's Party

    Hi Judy. I hope it's okay that I linked up my latest 101 post on editing your photos. It's not a cool crafty project, but maybe it will help all those cool crafty people make their photos even better?! lol Thank you for hosting the party as usual. We girls at the fence sure adore you!! Happy Wednesday to you.
