Welcome to Crafty Creators Link Party, where you can share all of your wonderful crafts, DIYs, fashion, recipes, or any other thing that makes your heart happy! After you link up, I’d love it if you’d spread the word about the party! Remember, you must be following me on social media in order to be featured on next week’s party.

Don’t forget to link up on Happiness is Homemade. It’s been a long week since my hubby and I came down with covid, yuck! So, I apologize for not posting on Suday (other than Happiness is Homemade) or Tuesday. I won’t be posting today either, other than the link party. Hopefully I’ll be able to post on Saturday, going back to regular Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday after that. I got extremely lucky that it took up this long to get it because my doctor told me with my immune system it wouldn’t be good. He had a patient with a similar chronic immune suppression, and he lost her. God was looking out for me! Now, let’s get to the posts that I shared over the last week.
For our monthly Creative Craft Blog Hop, I shared my upcycled magazine rack and how you can make your own. It looks amazing and right now I’m using it to house things in the kitchen, like Ziploc bags, aluminum foil, etc. You can use it so many ways in every room in your house.
The final post that I was able to make before I became too week to continue was a DIY porch sign that says, “Home Sweet Home,” with our last name on the top. I love the way it turned out and it matches our wood door hanger. I gave you free printables and SVGs in the post, and if you’d rather get the “Welcome” SVG, you can find that in the wood door hanger post. Also, if you’d like a design with your last name, contact me and I’ll try to get that for you for free.
I have some more free printables, home decor tutorials & outside projects, so make sure you follow me on social media using the buttons in the sidebar. That way you don’t miss them!

This Week’s Features

Featured Bloggers: Follow me on FB & IG for more recognition!
If you are featured this week, let me know in the comments if you’re following me on Facebook and/or Instagram. Just a short “following” will do. If you are following me, I will schedule a post promoting your featured post across all of my social media accounts including FB, IG, Twitter, MeWe, etc. I will tag you in the post so that all of your followers can see how great your post was as well! The social media features happen throughout the weekend and just before next week’s party (usually on Tuesday and Wednesday nights). Last week I had two of the featured bloggers let me know they were following, so they were featured last night as a lead-up to this week’s party. I love showing y’all some love! If it’s been a while since you’ve been featured and you’re following, leave me a comment just in case. I’ve got a lot of craziness going on and a terrible short-term memory lol!
If you’re looking for a patriotic look that isn’t as bold as normal, take some inspiration from Penny of Penny’s Vintage Home. Her patriotic breakfast room is beautiful!
Beth over at Creatively Beth has the perfect way to keep your kids busy up to and/or during 4th of July. This soup can Uncle Sam is so cute and would be a great craft idea for kids can do at your BBQ while the adults do as they please!
This 4th of July favor box would be great to place out during your BBQ! Linday at Artsy Fartsy Mama brought us this fun idea.
Amy over at A Day of Small Things shared her adorable red, white, and blue decor she decorated with to bring on summer inside! Check out her post for some wonderful inspiration.
