I know it is August so it is a bit crazy to be thinking about winter or Christmas, but Lamps Plus and Hometalk are hosting a Holiday Design Challenge and yours truly is participating. I am really crushing on metallics lately. Mixing metals is where it is at and I'm falling back in love with gold. Do we even have to talk about my obsession with photos? It personalizes everything. I created metallic color blocked Christmas ornaments. I started by taping the ornament at the line, ...

Easy Entertaining For Game Day + Game Day Printables
Thank you Tide plus Febreze Freshness for sponsoring this conversation. Back in my college days fall Saturdays were spent cheering on the Badgers at Camp Randall stadium.

Summer Tablescape + a Link Party
Today I am sharing a fun and simple ways to serve up some summertime favorites so that your summer table has a little wow--or oh.my.word.that.is.so.cute--factor. Summertime must have--S'mores! Serve them up in a fry holder. These were marked WAY down at JoAnn fabrics so I picked up a few because there are just so many uses. A total of 4 marshmallows, one candy bar and two graham crackers fits comfortably. That is enough to make two s'mores easily. Instead of serving fruit ...
