Sunday Linky Party #57 + Goodies

Hi all, hope you're having a great Sunday. Unfortunately, I have some sad news to tell you, which is, this will be the last Sunday Linky Party and I will be closing down this blog, selling my house, and going to travel across the world doing odd jobs in order to experience living in the moment. I'm not sure where to start yet, but maybe begin in South America, cross over to Africa, then up to the Middle East, through Asia, up to Europe, cross over to Canada, and eventually end back in the United States again. What do you think?

Anyway, I'm just kidding, because it's April Fool's Day! :) And I don't actually own a house to sell. So enjoy this gallery and the rest of your weekend! Oh yeah, this blog and the Linky Parties will continue ^___^

Happy spring! If getting fresh bouquets of flowers to fill your kitchen with are a bit pricey or causes allergy issues, you can still have a gorgeous paper flower bouquet that requires no maintenance for the rest of your life :) Make some for yourself by following the tutorial from Inspired by Family Magazine. Also, get inspired by decorative ideas from their April showers party.

Dress up your shoes with shoe clips and maybe you'll be able to hold back on buying more pairs :) Luckily, these are easy to make and very versatile. Check it out at By Wilma.

Add visual interest to your home with this beautiful 3D pallet string art! I love how geometric the strings look, they remind me of little suspension bridges :) Find this beautiful tutorial at Twigg Studios and check out her felt flower shopping bag too.

Instead of buying that chic new ottoman at the store, how about giving your old one a complete makeover? Well, From Gardners to Bergers proves that it can be done with seriously amazing results!

If you're planning an Easter party and need matching cards, gift tags, bookmarks, stationary, candy wrappers, treat toppers, labels, banners, and more, you'll definitely want to head over to Printabelle for all your free-downloading-printable needs!

A craft and snack in one! I'm sure whoever you surprise with a bouquet of these cupcake liner daffodils will be delighted. These would also be a hit at a spring party. Find it at Seven Year Cottage.

For the yummiest and coolest appetizers, make these fun strawberry shortcake kabobs(?) and you can bet they'll be gone the minute they're put on the table. Get this recipe at Lady Behind the Curtain and try her bacon and green bean potato salad too.

How cute are these egg shaped brownies? Imagine the surprise when your buddies crack open an egg to find this :) Perfect April Fool's joke! Don't worry, the shells have been thoroughly cleaned beforehand. Find this at Making Memories, plus unicorn poop cookies and gooey cookie and cream bars.

Layoff the greasy bagged chips and snack on something healthier, like these salt and vinegar roasted chickpeas. They're cheap, easy to make, and good for you! Get the recipe at Inspired by Felicity Blog.

Surprise your family with a delicious steak dianne dinner! I'm not really sure what a steak dianne is, but it looks yummy and I love steak :) Will Cook for Smiles even made a video for those who need extra help. Also try her borsch and strawberry honey parfait.
