Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday

Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome everyone to another week of our blog hop! I hope your week has been going well. Mine is good but the weather today is scrappy, cold and rainy. So I have been cleaning closets. Sometimes, cold weather is a good thing, right?

Here you will find inspiration from dozens of bloggers including recipes, home DIY, gardening, decor, family fun, traveling, fitness, and so much more.  If you find something you particularly like, please pin it and even add a comment telling the writer that you love her work.

Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party 


Valentine's Day is coming up and I'm sure many of our participating bloggers will have TONS of ideas for recipes, decorations and other fun projects.  We will probably have a quiet dinner at home. We may go out on another night to celebrate since it is always so crowded on Valentine's Day.

Do you have any special plans for Valentine's? Do you go out to dinner or stay home. How are you going to celebrate?

Time to check out the current party - if you missed last week's party click here!

Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Party

Can you believe that January is almost over? It has been a crazy month for weather, especially the last couple of weeks, snow, ice and more snow.  It has even affected Florida with cool weather and some frost over night. 

I hope you are warm and safe from all of the cold weather. 

With Valentine's Day only a few weeks away, we have chosen some wonderful Valentine ideas. I hope you find some inspiration in the features and/or among the many posts within the party.

A Tablescape

I have been thinking hearts and flowers, maybe because Valentine's Day is coming. Actually it was the heart plate that caught me. Today the bright red and pink hearts caught my eye, A Valentines table. Inspiration for the gal who loves to celebrate love. Anne's Inspired love really nailed this one.

Valentine’s Sgar Scrub

I love a good sugar scrub but don’t love all the extras that are in some commercially prepared ones. Plus they can be expensive. This easy DIY sugar scrub from Everyday Savvy requires just a few ingredients and can be infused with your favorite essential oils. This sugar scrub makes a great DIY gift for Valentine’s day or any holiday.

A Tablescape

I have found my grove and my feature routine so lets start with a tablescape. And this weeks feature caught my eye probably because I have been thinking hearts and flowers.Actually it was the napkin fold that caught me. What a creative heart napkin. Today thebright red heart caught my eye, A Rose Valentines table. Inspiration for the gal who loves to celebrate love. Debbee's Buzz really nailed this one.

A Tasty Mocktail, that's pretty too

Trying something new this week, check out this yummy looking mocktail from Everyday Savvy. This mocktail recipe is simple, easy to follow, and has just a few ingredients. Simply Juice Mixed Berry is a great base for this mocktail recipe. Great for all ages and truth be told I am thinking it aso would make a great cocktail for me with a spalsh of rum or vodka.

Valentine's Cocoa Bombs

These easy Valentine’s Cocoa Bombs are a fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The cocoa bombs melt in hot water or milk and will burst into a hot chocolate in seconds! Really fun to watch. Raquel from Organized Island really caught my eye with this version of a Hot Chcolate bomb, and quite possibly has inspired me t try my hand.

DIY Lip Gloss 

And along the crafty line how about this lip smacking lipgloss. Crazy thing it is made from Kool-aid and coconut oil, simple and easy. Plus perfect for a day of hearts to keep those lips smooth. The Socialite's Closet has a hit with this DIY.

Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Party

Happy Sunday! I am writing this early so I am not sure how Saturday and Sunday turn out, I am driving to Pittsburgh and of course they are expecting a major snow storm. I hope I can get there before it hits, but I do have lots of mountains to get over. Prayers would be nice. My Mom is not doing well so I need to be there. You may be wondering why I am driving in the winter, well, I have an antique desk that I am taking to my sister for her birthday. I have wanted to leave for a few weeks now, but of course I wait until there is to be snow. Maybe, it won't happen. 

If you are in the path of this storm, be safe.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Party

Happy Sunday! I hope your weekend is going great. I got out my Christmas decorations and we decorated the outside. We did put the tree up. We have an artificial one.

Today I will start the inside. I did work on new wreaths for my front door. They are not finished yet, but that is what I am working on today as well.  

I am so in the Christmas spirit. There is something about those Christmas lights that gets me in the mood. Are you getting ready for Christmas? 

With Thanksgiving over, it is time to focus on Christmas. So I choose Christmas features this week. I hope you enjoy them.

Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Party

Happy November. Can you believe that it is November already? I hope you remembered to turn your clocks back (if you do that). I always hate this time of year. It gets dark so early. it seems to make the nights so long.   My son lives in Vermont, and it gets dark around 4:30. That is really early.  Do you like the time change?

Halloween is over and we are moving onto Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it) That usually means great recipes, lovely tablesettings, decor and pumpkin ideas. With that in mind, I picked some fall and Thanksgiving ideas. On to the features:

Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Party

Happy Halloween, and welcome to Happiness is Homemade! We're so glad you're here to share and explore with us. I will miss the Halloween decorations, but I still have the fall ones that will be up through Thanksgiving. 

We have had some really beautiful cool weather. it certainly reminds me of Halloween nights up north. We don't get many kids for Trick & Treat, just the neighbor's son. I miss the days when we had around 100 kids show up. Times have certainly changed. Do you still have lots of kids at your door? 

Have a wonderful Halloween and a beautiful Sunday.

Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Party

I am so glad you're here to join us for the 398th Happiness is Homemade link party! I have been loving seeing all of the fall and Halloween posts. It is so hard to pick only a few features, but know that we enjoy seeing all of your posts. Please continue to share them.

 Before we get to the party, let's take a look at this week's features.

I thought I'd get a few non-Halloween features in this week, and one is this post by Krafty Planner. In it, she gives us 7 tips to practice an attitude of gratitude. With Thanksgiving coming up next month (in the US) and the state of the world, we can forget all of the good that we still have. 

Along the same lines of that is these adorable worry jars by Must Have Mom. They are too cute. Little ones are affected by external forces just as much as we are, if not more. With this idea, your child can write down their worries and let them go, as they put the paper in the jar. I like her idea of making this a cares jar and giving them all to God.

Ok, now back to Halloween! These felt flags by She's Crafty Crafty are so cute. I have a ton of felt with nothing to do with it. Much of the sheets are fall colors, so this is the perfect project to use them up. She mentioned how cute these would be in the hands of a toddler in a wagon going trick or treating. I agree!

Lisa over at Fresh Vintage by Lisa S created these adorable printables to add to a bottle for a quick and easy Halloween decor piece. It looks perfect on her brown bottle. Who doesn't want to upcycle something you'd throw in the trash into beautiful decor?!

Y'all this next post is unbelievable. I found it and asked her to submit it to Happiness is Homemade. Linda from Life and created this Hallow-queens tablescape, and it's gorgeous! Who wouldn't die to be at this Halloween party?! Get it?
