10 Clever Projects To Make This Week (Link Party Features)

How is everyone’s weekend going? I’m enjoying my last day in San Diego on a fun girl’s weekend! It has been so relaxing and fun but I’m ready to see my hubby and munchkin tonight. :)

It was so much fun having Janel from NellieBellie co-host the Inspiration Gallery with us this week. Here are some of her top picks from the party, starting with her own version of Dippin’ Dots with piping bags and pudding.

Frozen Pudding Dots

Now, picking what projects to feature was a Hercules task. You all are so ridiculously talented that I would have featured each and everyone of you if I could. But, that would be a terribly long post. So, I picked out some of my favorites for their cleverness and quirkiness. Because, well…I’m all about clever and quirky.

    I wish I had known you were in San Diego this weekend, I live there. Would have been great to meet a fellow blogger! I hope you had a great weekend. It certainly was a hot one for SD! Not normal at all.
