Karins Kottage Linky Party: Highlights and Happenings

Hello friends! Welcome back to another fun-filled week at my weekly linky party highlights and happenings. I missed you all last week, but I had a fabulous time in the sunny oasis of St. George, Utah, visiting my stepdad and soaking up some precious family time. The warm weather, poolside relaxation, and laughter with our grandkids made for a perfect getaway. But now, I’m thrilled to be back and share some wonderful highlights from our talented bloggers!

So, let’s dive right in and see what amazing creations and ideas our featured bloggers have for us this week

Karins Kottage Happenings

As I mentioned earlier, last week was all about family time in St. George. We were fortunate to stay in a lovely townhouse offered by a sweet friend.

The community pool was a hit, especially with its huge slide, lazy river, and multiple hot tubs. Our grandkids had a blast, and it was the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the summer sun.

But now, I’m excited to be back and get the linky party started! Let’s connect, share, and enjoy each other’s creativity. I can’t wait to see what you all have in store for us this week.

Join the Linky Party!

Enjoy and have fun visiting each other’s blogs. Don’t forget to leave some love and comments on the amazing projects and ideas shared by our talented community. Happy linking!
