Last week I celebrated my 60th birthday! We were lucky enough to travel to California with our daughters and their families. It was so fun! I will share more about our trip in the coming days but until then Happy Centerpiece Wednesday Linky Party July 22! I hope each of you are doing well wherever you are.
Centerpiece Wednesday Linky party July 22 highlights
I just loved how Ashley over at At Home with Ashley figured out a darling way to make an outdoor umbrella stand that is also a planter with casters! Ashley is so clever!
Naush put together a lovely elegant pastel pink birthday party last minute and these huge pink paper flowers are some of my favorites! I do love to create pink parties myself. Remember the pink mother daughter party I did here?
Don’t these Coconut Mojito ice pops look delicious? Arlene over on Flour on my face shares her recipe starting with a simply syrup and adding coconut milk, coconut water, lime juice and mint leaves. Her recipe calls for rum but since I don’t drink alcohol nor do I like the flavor of rum extract I would probably just use a little more lime juice for flavor. I can’t wait to try these!
How cool is this paper mâché decoupaged bowl that Pillar Box Blue shows how to make on her blog! Such a great tutorial and I love that she also shares how to print your own paper napkins with free images!
I didn’t know that you could make pickles without having to cook them forever! This easy refrigerator pickles is something I will be doing! Kristy at Mommy Hates cooking shares this yummy and easy recipe on her blog. Kristy used to be a blog partner with cooking light! I just need to get my cucumbers growing in my garden.

Hi Rita!
Things are still moving along… a lot of design work is being done. We were supposed to be over there now 🙁 Hopefully we can get back over there in the fall. I can’t wait to be over there!
I’ll post some new things soon!
