Sizzle into Summer - It's a Party #80

Welcome to this week's Sizzle into Summer. As the summer winds down, I am running around trying to get the kids ready for school. They go back next Wednesday and things seem a bit crazy around here. Last week's party was filled with tons of inspiration. Here are this week's features:

HOME DECOR:

Beaux R'eves shared the gorgeous room she stayed in while in Monterrey, California. Just stunning!!

Hope you stop by to check out the rest of her photos from her vacation.

My friend Marty, over at A Stroll Thru Life, infused my favorite color of aqua into her living room. I love the softness it adds to an already gorgeous room.

FURNITURE MAKEOVERS:

Lilyfield Life transformed an Ikea file cabinet by adding chalkboard paint to the drawer fronts.

Super cool project.

Makin My Apt a Home revealed her new "Donna" dresser. I love that she named it. Hope you will check out all of the before and after photos.

CRAFTY CREATIONS:

Sarah Saturday created this super cute owl wall art. I just love owls.

Life on Lakeshore Drive created this beautiful bird's nest art. I just love the colors.

TASTY TREATS:

Cozy Home Scenes shared something a little different - canine turkey burgers.

Now there's some pet love.

Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom shared her recipe for microwave potato chips. Now that sounds yummy and easy. The best combination.

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.
