Creative Ideas on You Are The Star Party

Welcome to You're The Star Party

Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was awesome. Mine was wonderful. My daughter and I went to a Fall in the Woods event. We bought several fall items and lots of pumpkins. The weather had cooled down so it was great. Felt like a fall day here in Florida.

Enjoy your week ahead.

No 500 on Happiness Is Homemade

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade

Holy Moly, today is the 500th episode of the Happiness is Homemade Link up. How crazy is that? Fun fact if you are interested, I started participating back in 2015 as a "Guest Co-Host". Originally the three bloggers that started this fun link up would have a Rafflecopter giveaway" each month to allow a few guest hosts for the month. Fast forward to January 2016 and they invited 9 of the past guest hosts to join as full time hosts.

Overtime hosts came and went and sadly the original three are no longer around but Ducks in a Row, Love my Messy Mess, The Eclectic Red Barn and I have stayed the course. And now we are joined by Decor Craft Design and Life as a Leo Wife. 8 years, almost 9 if you count the guest spots that a few of us have been doing this, episode 103 was January 2016 when we joined permanently.

hih 500 feature

A Little History of HIH

I love this weekly link up. I know many think they are passe or out of date but to me it is a way of discovering not just new idea but new blogs. I went back in my archives as that post is no longer live on my site to check up on all my previous hosts. And it was great to see who is actually still around, Sadly two of the three originals are no longer blogging.

Well enough of a history lesson lets get into the special features for our 500 addition. Selected by each of us this month not just one host, how fun is that. Another fun fact, original the "features" were Most viewed posts not just our favs.

Fab Features for Happiness is Homemade 500

DIY Yarn Pumpkin

Remembering that this weekend is the Canadian Thanksgiving you will see a theme from my features this week. Lets get started with an adorable DIY Yarn Pumpkin Craft from Must Have Mom. These yarn pumpkins will go perfectly on the tiered tray and anywhere else you want a fun pop of color. I am thinking of making these for my name cards for my Thanksgiving Table.

Weight Watchers Pumpkin Soup

So many of us focus on Left over Turkey Soup but how about a tasty calorie friendly Pumpkin Soup. Midlife Healthy Living has shared a Weight Watcher Friendly Soup that I know I will be attempting to recreate. This Weight Watchers pumpkin soup recipe is so easy to make! My WW pumpkin soup recipe is rich in vitamins and minerals while still being low in points.

Air Fryer Pumpkin French Toast

And lets follow the calorie friendly recipe with a decadent yet delicious Pumpkin French Toast Dish from Air Fryer Fanatics. Make the perfect fall breakfast with this Air Fryer Pumpkin French Toast! If you are dreaming of that cool, crisp fall air and the smells of pumpkin and apples drifting through the air, then you are my kind of person. This Air Fryer Pumpkin French Toast will be perfect for your breakfast routine!

Gold Leaf For Fall

And from our very own Craft Decor Design this stunning DIY Fall sign. My first Fall project for this year is DIY Fall Sign Gold Dried Leaves. I made a Fall sign out of used MDF board and some dried leaves. Super easy to make and great looking! 

And my bonus feature because I cannot share a 500 anniversary post without a Tablescape. I love my tables that is for sure. I was a little sad that there were no Thanksgiving "scape" ideas this week but recognize a lot of you are Halloween focused already.

Bone Appetit Table

Halloween is fast approaching and this bone appetit table design from Masterpieces of my Life is the perfect setting for a fun dinner with family and friends. It’s a simple design with a bony theme and a black & white color palette.

rice krispie candy corn

Candy Corn Rice Krispies

Catching Katie's eye this week is the fun Candy Corn treat from Organized Island. Perfectly capturing the look of everyone's favorite Halloween candy, these crispy, chewy, and delicious candy corn treats are not only easy to make but also a festive addition to any spooky gathering.

It Is Fall Yall on TFT

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party


Thursday Favorite Things. Share NOW. #linkyparty. #TFT #thursdaayfavoritethings #eclecticredbarn

Happy Thursday dear friends. My week has been sort of quiet but busy. I decided to clean out the garage while hubby is out of town (one week yesterday and still one week to go) My garage is filled. Lots of project materials and other stuff. I never seem to know here anything is so, I decided to sort stuff. 

The problem is, you have to go through things and sort and then decide what to keep, where to put it, and what to do with what you don't want. By night time, I am tired. You don't get to just sort, do laundry, watch what the puppies are doing, Antony has decided to start digging in my flower beds and my yard. Oh the joys!

I hope you have a fabulous weekend ahead.

Many of my features come from your comments. Don't forget to leave our Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you might become one of my features for next week.
