GIVEAWAY and The Humble Brag: Link Party #23

March 7, 2013 | by Jocie (email) |

Welcome back to another great link party! We’ve got an exciting giveaway going today, not just for bloggers, so be sure to scroll down and keep reading!

What’s been going in Baltimore this week? Well, we got a giant snow storm….NOT! We were forecasted to get one, but got a lot of cold rain and slush instead. It was pretty disappointing. But I was super productive with all the time indoors. I shared with you all 5 Great Dollar Store Easter decor ideas to do in 5 minutes or less. That’s a whole lot of 5’s, I know. heehee

I also tried out a recipe for homemade chalk paint and made a few personal adjustments to the recipe. I then compared it to Annie Sloan. Feel free to stop by and weigh in on your opinion!

Some Bragworthy Projects

We had another awesome link party last week filled with so much inspiration. Here were a few of my faves: Ann from On Sutton Place is one classy (and really sweet) lady and she shares some amazing projects and recipes. This past week she linked up her Glazed Orange Bread recipe. I had to stop looking at it because it makes me want to drive to the closest bakery and eat every yummy carb in sight!

I am pretty new to sewing so imagine my surprise when I saw this tutorial from Sarah at Just the Bee’s Knees teaching how to sew a blind hem. SAY WHAT?! I really didn’t think that was possible (except from the pros). She makes it look so easy, too.

Danielle from 2 Little SuperHeroes shares her tutorial on how to change bi-fold doors into french doors. That is crazy cool and classy, Danielle!

Jacque from the DIY Village (and her other half, Matt) do some of the coolest and most creative projects out there, plus they are legit nice people! This reverse stenciled coffee table (once her grandparent’s) is no exception – thanks for sharing, Jacque!

I think I’m a bit on a furniture kick with all my upcoming furniture projects, but I am diggin’ this blanket box/bench that Linda from With A Blast created with a little help from an old wooden gate!

Who doesn’t love a good yard sale turned masterpiece? Check out what Sheila from Plum Doodles did with an ugly rooster lamp and wicker basket. So creative!

Last but certainly not least, Christina from the DIY Dreamer schooled me in the world of printable clings! Have you ever heard of these. She turned these salad dressing dispensers into something unique and pretty.

Our #1 Brag!

If you didn’t already know, every week we feature one lucky party participant in our sidebar as the Weekly Brag. Think of it as our way of saying thanks for linking up, and we hope you come back every Friday. To play fair, we always use random.org to select the winner. Out of 92 linked up projects, number 78 was chosen – Pam from Patriotic Pam! Pam shared her super cute, eclectic Mod Podge Monogram, and you know I love Mod Podge!

Bragging Rules

The Humble Brag is all about encouraging one another in our pursuits (and sometimes even fails). We’re excited to see what you have been up to in your crafting/DIY world. We also welcome recipes and other projects. I will be visiting each and every link over the coming week, so bring it on!

We ask that you:

• Please grab a button or link back to this post (although not required, we appreciate the love)
• Link directly to your article
• Don’t link to a shop, store or giveaway

Make sure to check back next week to see if your project has been featured and thanks for sharing.
