Saturday Sparks Link Party 40

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 40! There are days when I need a bit of inspiration to get my creative juices flowing. Thankfully, a simple trip visiting some of the wonderful links from Saturday Sparks gives me the boost I need. There is always something that speaks to me and sparks my imagination.

Now, onto the Fabulous Features from Saturday Sparks 39.

Handmade for Christmas: Trees by Vintage, Paint and More. Cathy is kicking off a 'Handmade for Christmas' series on her blog and shares her collection of gorgeous hand crafted Christmas trees in this post.

Thanksgiving Farm Table/Dining Room Tour Part 1 from Junkaholics Unanimous. Thanksgiving may be over but I had to feature Amber's wonderful Thanksgiving tablescape and dining room.  The natural elements and rustic charm say welcome home to me.

Canvas Print to Chalkboard at Little Brags. Christine is changing things up in her home and repurposed an Italian landscape canvas into this fabulous chalkboard. See her before and after to see what a huge difference this one change made. 

DIY Pallet Christmas Tree Tutorial by Fort Ledbetter. Marie shares a nice tutorial on how to create this cute and funky Christmas Tree with its own stand from pallet wood.

Beach Tree by Craft Dictator. Rhonda shares her version of a Beach Tree. The design is similar to Marie's pallet tree above, but the color and varying board widths give the tree a totally different feel.

We Want to Save Old Houses by Living Vintage. In this post, Kim answers the question 'Why do you salvage old homes?' I for one am cheering her on this journey to save our history.

Gardening 101...,My First Fall Garden by Glass Slipper Restorations. Cindy gives us a tour of her garden and explains the trials and challenges she has faced on this new adventure.

Simple Roasted Veggie Sauce by Lamberts Lately. Leslie dispels the myth that gourmet cooking has to be difficult and proves it with her delicious and simple recipe for a 'Roasted Veggie Sauce'.

Driven to Extraction by Making Our Sustainable Life. Vickie is having a great time finding new ways to create homemade extracts.

Cranberry/Orange Salsa-Gluten Free by Simply Fresh Dinners. Robyn has come up with mouthwatering recipe for salsa that she describes as an "explosion of fresh fruit flavors in your mouth". You know I have added this to my 'must try' list.

Chocolate Mint Muffins by Kleinworth & Co. - Gina is once again tempting our taste buds with her decadent creations. Chocolate and mint - need I say more ; ) .

Making Hanukkah Cookies by Suburbs Mama. Rita shares a recipe she found for rolled sugar cookies, that she used to make these wonderful Hanukkah cookies.

And finally, a recap of my share from the party - Homemade Bread on a Cold Day.  The days are getting colder and nothing warms the soul like homemade bread.
