Tutorials & Tips Link Party {68}

July 9, 2012

I love my husband. He knows the way to my heart :) . For example, today I received the following text message from him:

And then he sent me this picture! Ack! Those are my babies holding machettes and riding without car seats in the back of a pick-up :) .  So now I have around 10 stalks of bamboo in my basement waiting for some decorating inspiration to strike.

But enough about my day, let’s see what you have been up to!!

If you missed the features from last week, be sure to click here to see the DIY Tips and DIY Tutorials not to miss! Also there is an AMAZING giveaway going on right now by Sherwin Williams ChipIt (like $1200 worth of good). Click over and leave a comment to enter.

If you’d like to link up, please be sure to read the rules.

Remember that everyone with a tip or tute is welcome to link up but only those who link back to me within their post will be featured.

Party Rules

  • Any tip or tutorial is welcome! Decorating, holiday ideas, room makeovers, cleaning tips, recipes, crafts, and sewing all count.
  • Keep content fresh! Please do not link the same projects week after week. I will delete posts that you’ve linked up here several weeks in a row.

    That text is classic, the boys with machettes and in the back on the pick up is even better. (knowing that they made it out ok, of course!) :)

    Hi Beth! thanks for hosting your party today! Hey, I was at Haven and for my recent posts I have been using the tip you gave about using the ad word tool to decide on what to name a blog post. Now I need to go back and use the tool to at least change some wording in the first paragraph of my older posts in order to get more google hits. Goggle is where I get the vast majority of pageviews from. It is fun to see (on the stats page) what phrases people “google”to end up on my site. Goggle search helps some of my older posts see the light of day again.
