You're The Star - Family Feature Week
Welcome to You're The Star - Family Feature Week
Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful week. Mine was nice. It is still a little cool here in central Florida. I am still helping my daughter get the last few areas of her outside painted. We finished it this weekend. All we have to do is power wash the patio out front and then she wants to stencil a pattern on it. So a little more painting and then a sealer. We need a little warmer weather for that. Then, I think we will be done. At least I hope so.
How was your weekend? Any painting in your plans? We are probably the only ones doing that.

Updated Small Crate
Updated Small Crate
This was a simple project that didn't take long to complete. My friend gave me the small crate and said, "do something with it". It sat in the garage for a few weeks before I decided what to do with it. Then it became this:

Over The Moon Linky Party
Welcome to Over The Moon Linky Party
Happy Sunday dear friends. I am so delighted that you stopped by. We are beginning a new year of sharing, linking, reading, pinning and inspiration.
We are having such cool weather here in central Florida that I am enjoying all of the wonderful soup recipes. I have been trying out quite a few of them. Soup is just so comforting when it is cool. I hope you enjoy my features for this week.

Happiness Is Homemade Party
Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Party
We are excited about a new year of sharing, linking, reading, pinning and inspiration. I am not sure where the time goes, honestly, it is true Time flies faster the older you get. It seems as though my time is in warp speed. Just keeping it real!
Truth be told I was expecting a full Super Bowl spread for you but it seemed everyone has skipped straight to Valentine's Day, so it is a heartfelt Happiness if Homemade this week ( Big pun once you see my first feature)

Handmade Felt Heart Brooch.
Pillar Box Blue captured my eye with her Handmade Felt Heart Brooch. This is a quick and easy fun Valentine’s craft to make a lovely heart-shaped handmade felt brooch from the smallest of felt scraps.![big-heart-broach-on-white-s](https://www.alabouroflife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/big-heart-broach-on-white-s-1.jpg)
Handmade Valentine Wreath
Next up this Handmade Valentine Wreath just stopped me scrolling. Comfort Spring just could not let the home stay sparse after the Holiday Season. I wanted something pretty on the front door. On Sunday, I started to work with a grapevine wreath and flowers. I used a grapevine wreath because it’s so easy to attach additional elements to the wreath with minimal wire and glue. I know it’s only January 5th, but I need something bright and cheerful.![diy-valentine-wreath](https://www.alabouroflife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/diy-valentine-wreath-1.jpg)
Valentines Bath Bombs.
Bath bombs, something that I have never tried but after reading this post from Eccentricities by JVG I think I might want to try. A beautiful gift for Valentines Day, Valentines Bath Bombs. Bath bombs are great for a bath to add some moisturizing oils and enjoy a relaxing bath. These Valentine’s Days bath bombs can be a fun project to work with kids as well.![Bath bombs in pink and cream](https://www.alabouroflife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Valentines-Day-Bath-Bombs_6.jpg)
Valentine's Spritz Cookies
Cookies are the next order of the day. And spotting these beautiful Valentine's Spritz Cookies have me pre planning so V-Day Treats. Flour on My Face has me convinced. Spritz cookies are great to make for Valentine's Day. The heart-shaped cookies are a perfect way to show your sweetheart how much you love them on this special day. Spritz cookies are actually a type of German Christmas cookie made of flour, butter, sugar and eggs called Spritzgeback. The word spritz originated from the German word, “spritzen,” which means “to squirt” in English. There you have it, a bit of education along with your cookies.![german spritz valentines cookies on a plate](https://www.alabouroflife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/valentines-spritz-cookies.jpg)
Bonus Feature because I have to
Can it be a Feature Post from A Labour of Life without a Tablescape? Well sadly this week I didn't have a Valentine's table to share. This week something really cool and different. A Cat Quilling Valentine's Card. Check out the stunning Valentine's Day Card from Confessions of an Overworked Mom.![cat quilled card](https://www.alabouroflife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/valentines-day-cat-quilling.jpg)

Thursday Favorite Things Party
Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party
Happy Thursday! . Well, January is almost half over, can you believe it. I feel like I just took down Christmas decorations.
Oh well, I have been doing a little sorting. It all started when I was trying to find some vintage lace for some sachets I made for my sister. You know how it is, you look for one thing and end up with a dozen other things. That was me.
I found a few pictures that I had not hung up and a frame that I was looking for. I also found a couple of felt hearts that I worked on last year. I decided to send them to my sister for her birthday coming up. Maybe make a few for myself.
I didn't mean to start cleaning out but sometimes it just happens. Are you doing any cleaning or sorting?
I Hope you enjoy all of the inspiration you find at the party. We have the best bloggers and they are all so creative. Hope you like the features!
