I'm Joining the 2013 Ultimate Blog Party

It's time for the 2013 Ultimate Blog Party!  
Janice and Susan are twin bloggers from 5 Minutes for Mom, and they are hosting the 7th annual Ultimate Blog Party.  It's a fun internet party where you can meet new friends from many blog categories.  You can join in on the fun by writing a welcome post, and linking up!
There's lots of prizes and online live events!  
Welcome to my blog, party friends.  I am an elementary teacher who loves to craft, paint, cook, and create.  I love finding old items and giving them new life.   I have an endless to-do list of projects that I want to accomplish in my home.  I share these projects along with my crafts, makeovers, and recipes.  I am also a major estate sale addict!  
My husband and I recently celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary.  We have a son and a daughter who are both college students.  A Jack Russell terrier and a little mischievous cat complete our home.  
Every Saturday night I host A Bouquet of Talent linky party, and a bloglovin' hop on Thursdays.
Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my little corner of the blog world!  I treasure all of the wonderful friends I have made through blogging, and I look forward to visiting with you!
