Happy Mom Day!

Monday Funday Header - Draft

Welcome to Monday Funday!

Every Monday you can link up your crafts / DIY Ideas / recipes to not just one, but Five SIX awesome blogs:

C.R.A.F.T. // Lines Across // Uncommon Designs // That’s What Che Said // Creatively Living //

& our newest co-host:

Finding Home

That’s right, SIX instead of 5 blogs! Here’s the deal, we decided it would be FUN to add a 6th rotating hostess to the Monday Funday crew! That’s 6x the exposure! So, ONE crafty link party extravaganza will happen on SIX blogs. Plus, each week one of us will choose projects to feature on all six blogs.

We will also be sharing links throughout the week on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. You can follow the Monday Funday party tweets at #MondayFundayParty !

This week’s features are being picked by our guest co-host, Laura of Finding Home

Profile Picture Cropped

Well it sure has been fun co-hosting with this lovely and fun group of ladies – it is hard to imagine it has already been 6 weeks! Thank you so much ladies for including me!

This week, my co-hosts have been so gracious to ask me to share a few things about me and my blog. My blog is all about the journey we are all on to making our homes a reflection of ourselves and our families – and what we find along the way. I share decorating ideas, projects and stories of our lives here in the Hudson Valley of NY.

Our home is traditional in style, with a whole of vintage touches and just a little hit of modern elements.

We have a farmhouse style kitchen that truly is the heart of our home..

Hometalk twitter chat: Pretty Organizing Ideas {5/14 at 3p CST}

May 9 posted by

Save the date! I’m hosting a twitter chat with Hometalk and 3 other awesome blog girls on Tuesday, May 14th at 3p CST all about pretty organizing ideas. Our twitter chat experts are: My real life friend and Snap conference roomie, Becky from Organizing Made Fun, Anna from Ask Anna, and Heidi from Honey BearLane. These ladies are organizing pros!

Follow C.R.A.F.T. // Hometalk // Organizing Made Fun // Honey Bear Lane // Ask Anna on Twitter

To get our brains prepared for the big chat, I put together a board on Hometalk filled with pretty organizing ideas! See links to all of the ideas on Hometalk:

And here are some of my pretty organizing ideas on C.R.A.F.T.:

Oh and one more funny thing:

I was recently showing my mom Hometalk on her iPad. I was showing her my profile, the comments on the post about her coffee table, and the outdoor craft projects board I put together. I was telling her how she would love it and it’s a great place for home project inspiration. And then this happened:

Mom: I’ve used this site before!

Me: You have?!

Mom: Yea, it showed me how to clean the dryer vent.

Me: Are you sure?!

Mom: Yea, the dryer wasn’t working right. I posted a question, and someone suggested I clean the dryer vent. And it fixed the dryer! (Here’s the how to clean a dryer vent post!)

Me: You posted a question, all by yourself….  on Hometalk? Not buyin’ it…

Mom: Well, I googled my question and someone has already asked the question, and Hometalk popped up on google, so I clicked it. I recognize the post and that site.

Let’s get this straight  my mom uses Hometalk to answer questions about her appliance drama, BUT she had no idea you can use it to find projects, DIY ideas, and room makeovers?! How could this be? Good thing I’m here to show her the ways of the intra webs!

So, what the heck is Hometalk? It’s the home and garden knowledge hub where you can…

Organize your house

I signed Mom up for an account at Hometalk and showed her around. Signing up is really easy, just click here, and you can login with facebook, twitter, or just enter your email. See:

Hometalk C.R.A.F.T.

Then, follow C.R.A.F.T. and my mom and start asking questions, making boards, posting projects and getting involved with the Hometalk community! Leave me a comment below letting me know you followed me, and I will be sure my mom and I follow you back!

Phew, that was a lot of info, here’s a little bulleted summary:

  • Twitter chat about pretty organizing ideas is happening May 14th at 3p CST! #hometalk
  • RSVP above to Twitter chat for a chance to win prizes
  • Check out tons of pretty organizing ideas here.
  • Sign up for Hometalk!

Social Media Event Printables

May 9 posted by

If you’ve been reading for any length of time,  you know I love a good cheesy saying! Remember my giant list of 100+ clever valentines day sayings? Or my M&M (Magnificent Mama) printable for mama? Well, I’m at it again, but this time for social media events. Remember this post about TreeHouse? Well, here’s the low down on social media event planning. You must have Tweet Tarts and Insta Grahams. Yep, that’s it! As long as you have both treats, and 10-20 guests your social media event will be a success! OK fine, you need a few more things… food is good, tasty beverages, prizes, a hashtag, and of course an awesome schedule of that everyone will want to share!

Social Media event planning

The social media treats are super easy to make, all you need is:

 

Now, all you do is fill your small treat bags with either Sweet Tarts or Teddy Grahams. Then, print the free printable and cut each one out. Fold the printable over the top of the zip lock bag and staple. Botta bing, botta boom… you’re ready to get social!

Social media event planning

They’re fun and easy to make, taste yummy, and people love to give these bad boys shout outs! Which is exactly what you want when your planning a social media event! See, Allison, did:

Social Media Event Planning

My first versin of Tweet Tarts was just a “T” I cut out of paper and glued to the top of a Sweet Tart box. Easy peasy, but a lots more expensive!

Social media event planning

Here are the free printables one more time:

Have you ever atended a tweet up or blogger event? Or any other kind of social media function? They’re fun! You get to meet the people you hang out with online or blog stalk… whatever suits your fancy! Happy tweeting and instgraming! Oh and follow C.R.A.F.T. on twitter and instagram if you’d like!
