What We Accomplished # 26 - Half a Year Celebration & Giveaway

Want to be a pin-up girl?  Join the party, and if you are featured, I'll pin your project to my Green Willow Pond Features Board!



It's been 26 weeks...half a year...of What We Accomplished parties!  Woo Hoo!  I have been so blessed by all of your contributions.  They are a treasure trove of ideas, helpful tips, inspiration and recipes.  In the words of Sally Fields, "They like me, they really like me!"

To celebrate this milestone, I am going to giveaway a set of 4 napkin rings like I posted here.

There are several ways to be entered in the drawing.

1. Link up to three projects/accomplishments/recipes.  Each one gets an entry.  It must be something you did yourself, not a feature of someone else's project.

2. Leave me a comment telling me how you are following this blog.

3. Spread the word about the party and giveaway.  For every way that you share it, i.e. facebook, twitter, google +, etc.  leave a comment for an entry.

I'll use random.org to select the winner.  The numbers will start with the linky party, then continue on with the comments in the order they are made.  I will announce the winner at next weeks linky party!

Now on to the party!  

This weeks top ten start with this awesome organized pantry by Ingrid, at Now at Home Mom.  Love the jars and basket!

How cute are these chalk painted flower pots from Redesigned by M? I love the size of these.  

Kadee Willow used a found iron piece as part of a unusual and awesome window treatment.  

Isn't this little dresser sweet?  Mimi, from Vintage Charm by Mimi, used ASCP in Old White and Paris Grey.  I love the soft two-tone colors and the glass knobs.

Jenna, from Rain on a Tin Roof, posted a house tour that will knock your socks off!  You really must pay her a visit as this picture is just one of many.

Julie, from Less Than Perfect Life of Bliss, put together an adorable birthday party, and she did it without spending much by "shopping the house."

This dresser started out very basic, with glossy white paint and no knobs.  Check out what Mary, from Orphans With Makeup, did to it.  Love the color!

 Crates are so handy, not to mention very in vogue right now.  But they can be hard to find, especially in a size you want.  Why not do what Elisha, from Pneumatic Addict, did and make your own.  She has a complete tutorial on her blog!

I must confess, I am a get in and get out of the kitchen kind of gal.  I can cook, and I do it well according to friends and family, but I don't like it...at all.  So when I find an easy recipe like this Pesto Pasta from Ashley's Dandelion Wishes, I sit up and take notice.  I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it sounds delicious!

Now having confessed that I don't like to cook, I have to add a caveat.  I do like to bake, and since I am trying eat and cook healthier meals, I just knew I had to try these zucchini muffins, from Nici, at Posed Perfection I know zucchini makes baked goods moist and yummy, and it might just be a way to sneak some green stuff down my family's very un-vegetarian throats!

How about you?  What's have you been accomplishing lately?  Please share...inquiring minds want to know!  And don't forget the giveaway :)
