Wow Us Wednesdays #35

10.12.2011

It's party time again! Time to show off those DIY projects, transformations, crafts, recipes and anything else that will "wow" us. I went through all the links last week and y'all were about fifty percent better than the week before with adding a link back in your posts. Maybe we will get even better this week. You can't be featured if there is no link in your post because most likely it was deleted. So add those links, please.

Here are some features from last week. Thanks to everyone who joined last week!


Designing Domesticity created this wonderful tree in a nursery. I just love the 3D flowers and birdhouse.

For those of you who decorate for Halloween you must check out Dixie Delights over the top decor.

Here is some more Halloween decor inspiration elegant in black and white at White Whimsy.

This transformation really wowed me because this was A Little Bit of Shizzle's first furniture makeover.

    Great party already. Thanks for doing this every week...I didn't realize until I guest hosted Sherry's linky party that some people don't actually link back. Makes no sense to me. I was also shocked at the people who linked their own linky parties. I thought that took a whole lotta nerve!

    Hi Kim, I've been busy reading your other posts...haha...and I have to tell you I just love your living room and those brown and cream checked pillow covers! Wow...my mouth dropped open at your pictures. Everything is picture perfect. I have a red couch and didn't know what to do with it during the fall months and you have given me just the right thing to do. Your home is lovely...I just could get lost looking at all your wonderful pictures!!! have a blessed week.

    Great features, as always!

    Also, I am glad to know that it upsets you if someone has a page with their favourite parties. Recently, I switched to doing it this way when I found myself always bookmarking blogs that have them in page form and visiting those parties (but never visiting the ones I saw at a bottom of their specific post -- as often, it is not the right day for that party when I am visiting their post. I have had tons of views of this page since creating it and figured this sent more traffic to the parties that I love compared to putting a link in the bottom of my particular project post. Anyway, not sure if you'd thought about it this way and I'd be curious to know if others are the same (relying on pages that list parties in an organized way versus links embedded in particular posts) but in the mean time will be sure to put a specific link for your party in my posts that I link up.

    Thanks for hosting!

    Thank you Kim for hosting! The projects featured this week are so creative! I'm glad you addressed the linking issue. Most people don't realize how by not linking or by linking to a separate page actually can PENALIZE the Host's website and Alexa Rating. Because Google looks upon those absent or bad links as spam. And we sure don't want you penalized!:)

    Kim,

    Oh that giant yard spider you featured is too good ... really, I'm scared to death of spiders, but that is so clever! And since I live in Richmond and the University of Richmond is the fighting "spiders" (and my husband is an alum) I'll seriously have to consider a similar pumpkin display in our yard.

    Thanks for hosting an always great party; in my post about a paint makeover for my bachelor chest I've also included a couple tips for furniture painting projects.
