Welcome to Week 55 of The Cowgirl Up! Link Party!

Welcome to Week 55

of

The Cowgirl Up!

Link Party!

1 Party, 5 Blogs 

Howdy Girls! Thanks so much to Amanda here at The Ivy Cottage Blog for inviting me to guest host! I'm Brandy, the gal behind the keyboard on the blog, Gluesticks!

Gluesticks is my outlet. It's where I share the things that keep us busy. I am a wife to an amazing member of the United States Coast Guard and a mother to 4 children.

My life is full of excitement. Moving across the country, school lunches, afternoons at the park, dance classes, teaching piano, family time, and always a little time for creativity.

I love being able to create with my children and our craft room is always a mess with crayons, stickers, glue in the carpet...yep, last week, and lots of other fun stuff.

This is how Gluesticks came about. I wanted to share some of our simple Craft and Recipes. Nothing fancy, no special ingredients or tools required. Just the desire to create. And I share it all with my readers!

And when I get a moment to myself, I enjoy making things for our home, or trying out a new recipe.

Recently I tried my hand at reupholstering an old chair. You can read about it here. I love trying new things and sharing what I have learned with my readers.

Thanks for letting me stop by and feel free to visit us over at Gluesticks. We'd love to have you!

-------------------

Hi everyone!  This is Amanda with The Ivy Cottage Blog and I want to say GOODBYE!

I have decided to stop blogging and concentrate on my growing business and my busy family.  Don't be sad!  I am actually relieved and excited about the new opportunities and looking forward to following/enjoying blogs instead of writing.

Just because I am stopping blogging, doesn't mean you should stop coming by Cowgirl Up!  You can still stop by all of the other Cowgirls' blogs and they will be announcing the newest Cowgirl in a few weeks . . . so exciting!

With that said, here are the features for this week!

A turquoise chair transformation by Artsy Va Va!

Frugal DIY Wall Art by Rain On A Tin Roof!

Another one by Rain On A Tin Roof . . . fabric wrapped candles!

Vintage Frame, Burlap, and Monogrammed Moss Wreath by Daisy Mae Belle!

Information about Women and Heart Disease by Creative Passage.  Everyone needs to read this one!

And finally, recycling a sonotube into an ottoman by The Feral Turtle!

Now about this week's party... You link up on my blog and your link shows up on FIVE blogs. More exposure, less time. We are looking for the latest and greatest projects, tutorials, ideas, crafts, recipes, decor, and inspiring stories. Anything that you are proud to show off.

Cowgirl Up! is the link party that saves you time and brings you inspiration.
