Sizzle into Summer - It's a Party #76

Welcome to this week's Sizzle into Summer party.  This is my favorite time of the week when I get to check out all of the amazingly talented bloggers out there and what they have been working on.  Last week's party was full of great ideas and inspiration.  Here are this week's features:

HOME DECOR:
Adventures in Decorating  shares her gorgeous dining room which she has updated for summer just shopping her own home.  Hope you will link over for more detailed photos.
Decorate With a Little Bit  shared her post on how to create a great vignette.  This is something I think we all struggle with from time to time and she offers some great tips and advice.

FURNITURE TRANSFORMATIONS:
I am in love with this stenciled table created by Domestic Imperfection.  
What a beautiful update for an old table.
Under a Pile of Scrap completely transformed a table with water damage into this totally cool and unique clock table.  I just love it!!

CRAFTY CREATIONS:
Be Book Bound transformed basic bottles and jars and turned them into vintage toiletry bottles.  Stop by her blog as she shares the image files.  This is on my "to do list" to make.
Small Home Love gives a great tutorial on how to create these DIY thread racks.
What a cool way to store all of your threads.

TASTY TREATS:
Confessions of a Plate Addict shared her recipe for French stamped shortbread cookies. 
 Ohh la la those look good!
Make the Best of Everything shares this awesome idea of creating bell pepper scoop chips.
What a great, healthy alternative.

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 (if you already follow me on Google, I would love for you to follow me on Linky Followers as well).  

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

    Thanks for being such a kind hostess. I just noticed that your button link on my post wasn't there...I had copied and pasted it incorrectly. I have just now fixed it. Thanks for being so kind and not removing my link. Other linky hostesses would have

    Those bottles/jars are pretty darn cute, and how clever to shape the peppers for scooping.
