TUTORIAL TIPS AND TIDBITS # 2 AND GIVEAWAY WINNER



A big hug and hearty thank you to everyone for making the first TUTORIAL TIPS AND TIDBITS a great success! We had  76 participants and lots of creative ideas and helpful tips.  I think it was a great first turnout!  

There were many tutorials I would love to try and great tips that made me say, "Why didn't I think of that!".

Here are a few...




Sonya from BEYOND THE SCREEN DOOR showed us how to make this fabulous, modern RAG QUILT FLAG PILLOW. Isn't this one you would love to make? She also has the best etsy shop!



Look at this delicious  SEVEN LAYER SALAD IN A JAR from Cynthia at AN ACCOMPLISHED WOMAN. I am so copying this!!!




Ann, ON SUTTON PLACE gave us very interesting information ALL ABOUT DEMIJOHNS. I learned so much about these trendy collectibles!




Stop on by BE BOOK BOUND for a refreshing lemonade at this delightful LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE LEMONADE BAR. Miriam even gave us a template for the lemonade sign!




Turn your souvenir T-shirts into sassy tote bags! Anita at AUNT NUBBY'S KITCHEN will show you how! What a great idea!!!





If you were featured please grab a FEATURED button from my sidebar!


And here is my Tip...


I just bought a Weedeater E-Lite.This little green machine weighs only a few pounds and is so effective! I was pushing a broom for YEARS! What was I thinking!!! This is the best thing I've done all summer!  Walmart has it for just under $28.00!

  7. Congrats to Lynn.... I also want to thank you for featuring my salad. I love my blower. I have a battery powered one from Black and Decker and so grateful for not having to push a broom or fight a power cord.

    Have I said lately, it is nice to have you back...

  27. Love your new party! I am going to buy a leaf blower to clean my deck. I did not realize that they were so inexpensive and lightweight! Thanks for the tip! Hugs, Linda

  28. Thank you for hosting this fun party, Yvonne! It's always such a pleasure to visit your blog, and now you've got wonderful other posts to browse through! I had to chuckle at your suggestion of the leaf blower, because ours is so heavy and powerful I can hardly use it, but that's okay--it becomes my hubby's job then! :) He even does the screened porch for me! Happy 4th to you~Zuni
