I want to start by saying "THANK YOU" to the ladies who have posted summer projects to my link party. You have shared some great ideas! There is still plenty of time to post more, so don't forget about the party and please help me spread the word. :)

NEWBIE SUMMER LINK PARTY

I have been absent for about a week because I was preparing for a garage sale that turned into an EPIC FAIL! I advertised, posted signs leading cars to the sale, and only two people showed up. I had no choice but to have our sale on a Sunday and I think that was our first mistake. Now, I'm having loads of fun trying to sell these items individually on Craigslist. *sigh*

On a positive note, I finally found a solution for my daughters bracelets and necklaces. My 9-year-old doesn't wear earrings and lacks the space for a jewelry box. So, taking advantage of her walls and a robe hanger, I found my latest victim item that needed to be spray painted:

Look at that brass beauty! You know how much I adore brass. ;) We've had this hanger for years, with the intention of one day using it. However, I thought it was perfect for little necklaces and bracelts. After a couple of coats of some plum spray paint, it looked like this: 

I apologize for the poor color. It was a cloudy day today and I had to use the flash to capture the color. It's not that bright, though. I promise. :)

Here is my daughters cluster, with her new jewelry hanger. And it only cost $3 (for the spray paint).

Remember to keep posting to the party! The last day is July 25th!

I also have a GREAT recipe to share, but I wanted to get some input from my readers. Do you all care much for recipes? I try to only post ones that can be done in under 30 minutes, don't cost a whole lot, and pass the "picky eater seal of approval." However, I've noticed low traffic on my recipe posts. Thoughts? Would you like to see recipes or do you not really care for them?
