You are in for a treat this weekend because we are offering you a “Two-fer”.
As always, we are thrilled to have you join us for
Where we welcome you to Inspire and Be Inspired, by linking up all of your fabulous DIY projects, crafts, home decor, recipes, and life experiences.
And we are kicking things off a little bit earlier this week because….
We are excited to be bringing you another installment of
We know you have been on pins and needles just waiting for the next Sister Saturday!
Right?
cricket….cricket…cricket…
Well, you are getting it anyway!
And this time, we want you to link up all of your fantastic Easter/Spring Inspiration.
So, be sure to come back THIS Saturday and share your talented selves with us.
We have some fun in store for you too as we share how we knocked-off were so inspired by some previous Easter Inspiration that we made our own versions of your ideas!
Now, let’s get back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Just so you know, from the moment the Inspiration Friday party starts on Thursday all the way through Sunday, the number of phone calls and texts flying back and forth between us is astounding. We actually sit on the phone with each other and say things like this,
“Oh my goodness, did you see #such and such??!! That is incredible!”
“I know! What about the one so and so did? I’m totally gonna try it myself!”
“How do people come up with these amazing ideas?”
“Seriously!”
And then our husband’s say…
“Will we ever be allowed to use the computer again?”
To which we reply,
“Nope!”
Somehow, we do manage to calm down and actually pick out folks to Feature.
So here goes!
This is one that Heather said she wants to try.
Burlap! It’s all the craze right now in the blogosphere and we’ve been seeing some pretty amazing burlap projects here at Inspiration Friday. We thought this one from Debbie at
reFresh reStyle was a beautiful use of this humble material.
This is a lovely painting, but Debbie was hoping for a new look.
So she took it from this…
To this! Talk about your inspirational recycling!
We want to invite you over to see more of this fabulous burlap project from Debbie as well as her beautiful pictures!
This next one about knocked Vanessa out of her chair!
Audrey from Sweet Cheeks Tasty Treats shared this beyond darling Vintage Schoolhouse Themed Birthday Party.
Yep, you gotta see it to believe it! We hope the few pictures we’ve shown will prompt you to get your tail over to Sweet Cheek’s Tasty Treats and see
And finally after all of the hard work y’all spend on your beautiful, inspirational posts we decided you deserved a special treat! Katie from Everything Reconsidered shared this fabulous Chocolate Zucchini Cake with us…and guess what, it’s gluten free!
Isn’t it amazing that these..
Can be made into this..
Ignore the missing pieces…we had to give it a taste test before we shared it with our friends at the fence..and we both declare Katie’s cake fabulous! Visit Katie to get the recipe to her Chocolate Zucchini Cake.

The featured ones are great. I hope to be able to venture about a bit over the weekend and get inspired. I was actually hoping to link up with the vignette that lived in my head inspired from the 1000 Gifts books. Too bad the vignette on the table never became the one in the head.
It’s so difficult being me…
I was wondering about Sister Saturday and when you were going to do the next one!
oh boy…i’m so late getting my linky up this week…too much life going on! and hey…we only had one feature in common this time!
blessings,
alison

Love this site. Just stumbled upon it. I have linked up my snowman hat because we all need to get a jump on next winter, right? I’ll following!!!
Thanks for hosting this lovely party.. I’ve linked in this week.. I’m now off to check out the fab inspirations you’ve mentioned.. 🙂
FIRST! Vanessa, I received the sweetest thing! You will get a note from me, but wanted you to know I received it and that you are so kind! The tears came and my husband, once again, looked at me like I was crazy! Look for my note! LOVE these ideas, especially the vintage school house party! I am throwing (way late!) a paper doll vintage party for my daughter and this gave me some great ideas! Will pop over and tell her! Shamefully, I haven’t done much with decor for Easter! Will try to throw it together! Love to you girls and blessings this Easter to your families!
Thanks for hosting the party!! Love your features!
Thanks so much for the feature!!!! I was in Vegas for work all week and was super excited to come home and see that you my recipe was featured on Inspiration Friday 🙂 Have a fabulous weekend.
