Today I am participating in Amanda's Dishing It! party. Where we get to share and get to know other bloggers a bit better. Here is the topic: Summer in review and here are the questions for this month.~Best activity you participated in this summer.
The chance to spend 2 different weeks at our daughter and Son-in-laws' home taking care of our sweet grand son. Getting together with girlfriends to just laugh and swim has been a blast too.
~Did your family go on any trips this summer?
We opted not to vacation this summer for a myriad of reasons so it has been a very laid back uneventful summer. Which is not a bad thing just different for us~Best new recipe you tried.
Since I love to cook I have many favorites. A new dessert I found here for Dulche de Leche - Toffee Tartlets is amazing and so easy. I made them for Bunco the other night and they were the hit of the evening
~Coolest crafty thing you made or home decor thing you tried. I am so happy with how my dresser project turned out I can't believe it is even the same dresser.
~Best book or magazine issue you read. Chasing Fireflies by Charles Martin. Great story
~Coolest new (to you) blog you've found. I have found many, but am enjoying Pam @Diy Fanatic She has a great blog with wonderful ideas and a beautiful home too! Go check her out. Also loving Tanya @ frou frou britches.I have to admit when I first say her blog I did a double take at the britches word... It always throws me. She is delightful. you need to visit her too
~Favorite bargain or shopping find of the summer. That's easy, it would have to be this wonderful metal bed found at a yard sale for $40.00. I left some of the pillows off so you can see the great headboard detail.Can you believe only $40.00?
~What's left on your summer to-do list? Would love to get a camping trip in before summer is over with all of our children and I have a few furniture makeover projects in the works.

Debbie, you precious thing! Thanks so much for mentioning me. So sweet! I think you're delightful too!
ReplyDeleteThose toffee tarlets look AMAZING! YUM!
Love your dresser redo. The pulls you picked are sooo cool! That's the drawer pulls I want in the kitchen. Love them!
I cannot believe you got that bed for $40. What a fabulous deal!
Debbie,

And you have such a treasure in your new bed frame. Great eye! It looks so beautiful all dressed up!

Amazing job on the dresser and amazing deal on the bed!! I love them both!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you had a great time with your grandson. What a blast! I hope you make your camping trips before summer is over. So nice to "meet you."
Keeping your grandson this summer must have been a special time for you. I hope you do get your camping trip in before summer ends.
ReplyDeleteYour new bed is fabulous and such a bargain!
Those tart look great! You must fit in that camping trip! I just love camping with my family!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome bed!
ReplyDeleteHey girl--I know you had a great summer with that precious baby in your family!
ReplyDeleteI do love your dresser project. I need to get myself in gear and get some spray painting done around here. It's been so hot that I haven't done much lately!
Hope you're doing great!
Oh the tarts look so good Debbie! Yummy! :)
