Wow Us Wednesdays #41

I hope everyone is having fun preparing for Thanksgiving. Monday I cleaned up some of the leaves in the front yard. I had to blow the leaves into a huge pile and then rake them up and haul them in the wheelbarrow to dump them in the woods. I hauled fifteen loads. Whew! I am getting too old to do this. After that I mowed the lawn. I also made two pans of cornbread to use in the dressing that I will make on Wednesday. Today was more cleaning of the house and now I think I will be ready for Thursday. I will get up early on Thursday to get the 21 pound turkey roasting. Love to smell it roasting.

 We had a good turnout at last weeks party. There are quite a few newer bloggers with word verification on. You really don't need it and it is very time consuming to have to stop and do that. I hope you will go in your settings and say no where it says word verification. Thanks.

Now let's take a look at some wonderful features from last week. Thanks to all of you who joined and linked back.


 If this isn't the cutest chandy? You must see what Penny at Flea Market Makeovers used to transform this.

It All Started with Paint hand painted this porch rug. That is some hard work and it looks great.

The tutorial for creating these salt dough ornaments/gift tags can be found at The Heartfelt Home.

You must see the before and tutorial for this cute cute stool makeover at Sweet Girl Expressions.

I hope you will check out this wonderful dining room tour and see what they started with at Eclectically Vintage.

At Commonplace Beauty you will find the most wonderful images of a fall bridal shower. Every little detail is superb!

Need a last minute dessert idea for Thanksgiving. This pumpkin mousse looks really yummy. The recipe can be found at Live by the Sun, Luv by the Moon.

Check out Joy's snowball bling at Savvy City Farmer. I don't think I would want one of these thrown at me though.

So many great  links last week. It was hard just to choose a few.
If you were featured take my "Featured" button with you from my sidebar.

Now onto this weeks party. The party stays open through Saturday so if you are too busy with Thanksgiving now to link up just come back later.

Two giveaways are still going on here and here !



Party Guidelines:
Please read these first.
1. Link your post URL and not your whole blog.
2. Pahleeze have a visible link or button in your post to this party so others can find the party and join in.  Parties here or look here or find the parties I link to on my sidebar is not acceptable. Others don't need to hunt to find what parties you have joined.

Hi, Sweetie girl...I LOVE all the inspiration here. That chandy is so cute.
Thanks for hosting....and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

P.S. I mixed most of my dressing today..into the freezer, then when the turkey is about finished roasting, I'll add some more broth to the dressing and ooo, it's gonna be so good.
I know you will enjoy having the dinner at your pretty table this year.
