Hello all! Well, it’s Friday. I’m so glad this week is over. I wish there was some way…some magical wand that could be waved…to block this week from our memories forever. If you follow the A2D Facebook Page, then you might have seen my post about Matt’s brother, who died very suddenly and unexpectedly last Sunday. It’s been a tough road this week, that’s for sure, but Matt is doing much better today, reminiscing, laughing at funny memories, and processing. I really do appreciate all of the kind comments and prayers this week.
Soooo, that’s been the reason that things have been a bit slow around here this week. And that’s also the reason that I need a big, huge dose of happiness! And what makes me happy? Seeing your projects, of course!
I want to see anything and everything that you’ve made with your own hands—everything from home décor and room makeovers, to recipes, clothing, accessories, etc. Anything goes. If you’ve made it, link it up!
(Please link recent projects. And please still refrain from linking Etsy stores, your giveaways, your link parties, and your general blog URL.)
- Add the link to your specific blog post to the link party below (be sure it’s the permalink to a specific post, and not your general blog URL);
- Be aware that if you link here, your project may be highlighted here on the A2D blog, the A2D Inspiration files, or the A2D Facebook page (credited and linked to your blog);
- Grab the code for the button below and add it to your post so that others can join in the fun (or just add a text link on your post leading back here);
- Take a look at other projects linked up here, and be sure to leave comments so they know you’ve visited!!

Psst…Want to get sneak peeks and behind the scenes looks at my projects? Come join us on the A2D Facebook Page!

Addicted 2 Decorating is where I share my DIY and decorating journey as I remodel and decorate the 1948 fixer upper that my husband, Matt, and I bought in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do physical work, so I do the majority of the work on the house by myself. You can learn more about me here.
I hope you’ll join me on my DIY and decorating journey! If you want to follow my projects and progress, you can subscribe below and have each new post delivered to your email inbox. That way you’ll never miss a thing!
