Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Hey there … it’s almost Thanksgiving which, in the USA, is the unofficial kickoff to the holiday season! Do you hear sleigh bells on the horizon? Personally, I would welcome a little snow. Not too much, mind you, but just enough to say “yep, you’re right — the holidays have arrived!” Of course, a big turkey dinner will be an awesome way to start things right. Happy Thanksgiving, one and all!

Do you get snow in your neck of the woods? Do you decorate your home this time of year?

Well, you can count on lots of holiday cheer here at our blog party. Every week our bloggers will share lots of great ideas to make the season bright. Today, please take a look at our featured favorites and then scroll to the bottom to see our ever growing party. Remember to pin your favorites. Pins really bless our bloggers and you will have these great ideas all stashed away for when you need to find them!

Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #559 – Katie from Love My Messy Messy Mess here – can you believe this year is almost over?!?!?!! This thought just occurred to me last week and I nearly had a panic attack. Where does the time go?

Sunflower Barn Quilt

Living in the Southern Tier area of Western New York, I am in the middle of Amish country. Many of the homes out here have paintings similar to this Sunflower Barn Quilt and I really love this.

I can see November coming over the horizon. It is filled with fun preparations for the holiday season. Looking for new recipes and ideas? Stick with us. Each week our party fills more and more with creativity just for you!

Take a look at this week’s features!

Features

Crazy Little Love Birds made some Easy Place Cards for Thanksgiving!

General Tso’s Chickpeas from Strength & Sunshine

I know, I know … the item below looks a little out of place at this party. OK, very out of place. But, hear me out.

We just hosted a baby shower at a local cabin for my granddaughter. When we arrived to set up, we realized that NOBODY had given music a thought…and we instantly knew that that cabin was way too quiet.

My son in law just happened to be there. He had stopped by to lift heavy things, like tables and chairs, for us. He is a general contractor and in his truck was his DeWalt job site radio. He brings it to work every day for music or weather reports and the like. The guys keep it on all day long.

It isn’t all that pretty looking for a baby shower so we set it underneath a folding chair in the corner and the music just lilted through the place. The sound quality is the best and I instantly became a BIG DeWalt portable Bluetooth radio fan. They are built for a beating, so to speak, and they sound oh, so sweet. Anyhow, if you have anyone in your life like a cowboy, trucker, farmer, rancher, construction worker, on a road crew… you know… who loves music …. this would make such a great gift!

Handmade Cards for Fall from Amy’s Creative Pursuits

Easy Organic DIY Hydrangea Wreath from Masterpieces of My Life

La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream | Face & Body Lotion For Dry Skin | Shea Butter & Niacinamide Moisturizer | Gentle Face & Body Cream For Dry, Rough & Sensitive Skin

Apple Cinnamon Cupcake Recipe from Crystal and Comp.

Now I know why they call this the ANIMAL vacuum – they vacuum animals!

Dyson Ball ANIMAL 3 Extra Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Pumpkin Spice OREO Truffles by Flour on My Face

So, do you have a loved one who is a hard working hands-on laborer? Our son-in-love is a builder and he always takes this radio with him. In fact, we were having a family baby shower in a cabin this week with no background music available. So, he dropped his DeWalt Job Site Radio off to us. We were just thrilled with the quality of sound. Really, really amazing!

Here it is! DEWALT 20V MAX Bluetooth Radio, 100 ft Range, Battery and AC Power Cord Included, Portable for Jobsites

So let’s get this party started!

He is running back to you! And what will he do? Why, jump up to give you a little doggie kiss then skid across the floor, hop up onto the sofa, make a couple windy-circles to get that sweet spot then plop down for a snuggly nap as the dog-fur flies, of course!

And what will YOU do? Smile and get out the Shark! It’s a routine.

Hi and welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party of the week!

Many of my dear blogging friends go just crazy over Halloween! I totally get that but, to be honest with you, I don’t do Halloween. I love all the other holidays so much but this is simply one that I skip.

For those who do love it, we did have some shares last week that were very creative so please feel free hop over to the other blogs from our team and enjoy. For just a moment though, while you are here, I have found 4 yummy recipes from last week’s gala party that I think you will like a lot! And, if you want to, you can enjoy our party in more than one place!
