30 weeks!!
How did that happen??
We can’t believe how much fun these last 30 weeks have been partying with you all and we feel so blessed to have watched this little ol’ blog grow and change. We cannot tell you how much it means to us to be apart of this wonderful community.
Among the many incredible things that have happened since starting our journey with you, has been the opportunity to work with our amazing Sponsors.
We thought this would be a great time to take a moment and officially introduce you to them!
We started working with this awesome company shortly after we launched and we think they are just fabulous!
The Simple Stencil has the most incredible stencils…truly something for everyone!
both of us have used their stencils several times and we are so pleased with their product! If you’re looking for some great lettering for your walls or projects please check out The Simple Stencil!
Our next sponsor is so talented, but not only is Andrea from Signs by Andrea talented she’s a sweetheart too!
When Heather admired a sign that Andrea had linked up to Inspiration Friday..Andrea sent it to her!! Um, hello…how sweet is that! Andrea has a sign to fit any need or budget and can even customize a sign for you.
We will be sharing more of Andrea’s beautiful signs coming up soon…where YOU might win one…stay tuned. 
Until then, At The Picket Fence friends can get $5 off a sign right now by entering FENCES at checkout! Thanks Andrea!

Let’s get to our Features, shall we?
Now, we promise we aren’t featuring this adorable Vintage Circus Birthday Party from Blog 5 to 9 just because Vanessa was so thrilled to find someone else in blogland named Vanessa!
Really!
Obviously we are featuring this because it is just so beyond creative and darling and we totally flipped out when we saw it.
Alicia from La Famille took pallets in a whole other direction when she made this fabulous pallet bed for her sunroom!
Her sunroom redo is fabulous and this pallet bed…well, we just LOVE it!
With only one more week of summer left, we wanted to leave you with two delicious recipes that would be perfect for Labor Day!
Jennifer from Jane Deere shared this mouth watering BBQ Grilled Shrimp Tostadas…um yep making these for sure!
and Yummy Mummy shared these decadent and beautiful Mini Mud Pies as a special tribute…

Your picks are wonderful. I’ve been so hit and miss that I had missed that pallet one at Debbiedos. I happen to have a pallet sitting in my garage right now.
