Its been a busy week, as usual here in Baltimore. First off, we won the Super Bowl. Not sure if you had heard. It was pretty amazing (although a bit ugly, at times). Then Ethan and I headed to North Carolina to hang out with some pretty amazing bloggers for a Rust-Oleum ^[1] event. We got the scoop and some pretty amazing products and I am DYING to tell you about, so stay tuned. Can you tell I’m excited?!?

Some Bragworthy Projects

Here were a few of my favorites from last week:

Jacque and Matt from the DIY Village ^[2] keep coming up with amazing projects – if you don’t follow them, you should go check them out. I love this Pop-Up Photo Box ^[3]! What a thoughtful gift idea.

We love Before and After projects here at OPC and this Bathroom Makeover ^[4] from House of Rose is simply gorgeous. I love the mixture of different patterns of gray and white. And the rose wall is NOT wallpaper, but a stencil. Pretty amazing, right?

Kaylee from Couponing and Cooking ^[5] shared her recipe for Chocolate Covered Rolo & Ritz Cracker Sandwiches ^[6]. I don’t have the self-control to make these at home, but if you want to make some and invite me over, I wouldn’t hate you for it. lol.

Tanya from twelveOeight ^[7] shares her Vintage Industrial Message Board ^[8]. So simple and beautiful!

Whenever I see or eat gumdrops I think of my grandmother’s gum drop tree and I’m filled with lots of warm fuzzies. These Valentine’s Day Homemade Gum Drops ^[9] from Trish at Mom on Timeout ^[10] are really cool!

Karin from Art is Beauty ^[11] is the furniture queen! She works miracles with ugly, beaten down furniture and turns them into works of art. I love this Farm Fresh Dining Table and Chairs Makeover ^[12].

Our #1 Brag!

We are so honored for each and every link-up, and to say thanks we select a random participant as our Weekly Brag and feature their blog in our sidebar! Each week we select a winner using random.org ^[13], and out of 89 links from the last party, number 43 was chosen – Stephanie from Sweet Botique ^[14]. She shared her dark and decadent Salted Turtle Tart ^[15]. In sticking with the alliteration – it looks dark, decadent and deadly!
