Welcome to our Seventeenth Sweet Inspiration Link Party. 

The temps went back up this week. but what can we do, it is summer after all. I was very happy with the response I recieved from all of you with my recent post about Summer Activities in Greece.  I'm happy to share our lifestyle with you all. I hope you have a chance to check it out. 

Some quick changes,  we no longer require that you link back to our party.   However, if you wish, you can add a button with a no follow link. And, please no repeat link ups.​

We will be visiting all of you who link up with us and sharing, pinning all that good stuff. We really do appreciate your visits.

Christmas in July - Repurposed Rustic Wood Slices

7/27/2016

42 Comments

 
It's the last Wednesday for our Christmas in July Blog Hop.  I am hosting this blog hop with a group of talented bloggers and we have been bringing all sorts of Christmas ideas your way.  We know you have been following along and adding your Christmas projects because well, my post is down to there full. And that makes me very happy. A few weeks ago I repurposed a broken mirror.  And last week I repurposed Barbie Paddles that belonged to my daughters.  This week I am going back to my archives to show you an older project that I did in the early days of my blogging, my repurposed rustic wood slices. 

Είναι Τετάρτη και εχουμε φτάσει στο τέλος των Χριστούγεννα τον Ιούλιο, Blog Hop. Φιλοξενώ αυτό το blog hop με μια ομάδα ταλαντούχες bloggers και σας εχουμε  παρουσιάσει όλα τα είδη για τα  Χριστούγεννα. Ξέρουμε  ότι μας έχετε ακολουθήσει και προσθέσατε τα έργα σας επιδίδει  εχει  γεμίσει η ανάρτηση μου και με χαροποιεί  πάρα  πολυ!.  Πριν λεγες εβδομαδες αναδιαμόρφωσα ένα σπασμένο καθρέφτη.  Την  περασμένη  εβδομάδα μεταμόρφωσα τις Barbie ρακέτες. Αυτή την εβδομάδα θα πάω πίσω στο αρχείο μου να σας δείξω ένα παλαιότερο έργο που έκανα κατά τις πρώτες ημέρες του blogging, τις ρουστίκ φέτες ξύλου.

Summer Activities in Greece - Int'l Bloggers Club Challenge

7/25/2016

98 Comments

 
It is my favorite time of the month again the Int'l Bloggers Club Challenge,  when I team up with my blogging friends to compare lifestyles from our respective countries .  As you may recall in the past months we have focused on shopping, and spring flowers, breakfast and much more.  This month's theme is summer activities in Greece.  And boy, do I have lots of those. 

Έφτασε πάλι ο καιρός για το Διεθνές Bloggers Club,όπου μια ομάδα τεσσάρων φίλων από διαφορετικά μέρη του κόσμου συναντιούνται και συγκρίνουν τα έθιμα τους.  Όπως ίσως θυμάστε τους τελευταίους μήνες, έχουμε επικεντρωθεί σε ψώνια, ανοιξιάτικα 
λουλούδια
, τα πρωινά και πολλά άλλα. Αυτόν τον μήνα το θέμα μας είναι οι καλοκαιρινές δραστηριότητες στην Ελλάδα.

Sweet Inspiration Link Party #16

Welcome everyone to our Sixteenth Sweet Inspiration Link Party. I'd like let you all know that we have made a change to our party rules, we no longer require that you link back to our party so we don't get into troube with the Google SEO.  However, if you wish, you can add a button with a no follow link. Also, please no repeat link ups.  Add a new link or an older one, but not the same one each week. We all want to be inspired with different posts each week. . 

It has cooled down quite a bit this week...wheeew!  It was a good opportunity for me to get some painting done. I had some old  pieces of furniture that needed a refresh.  You'll be seeing them on the blog soon.
 

We will be visiting all of you who link up with us and sharing, pinning all that good stuff. We really do appreciate your visits.

Christmas in July - Repurposed Barbie Paddles

62 Comments

 
It's Wednesday and that means I have another  project for our Christmas in July Blog Hop.  I am hosting this blog hop with a group of talented bloggers and we are bringing all sorts of Christmas creativity your way - so you won't have to rush at the last minute in December. We hope that you have been following along and adding your Christmas projects as well. You may recall that  I repurposed a broken mirror.  This week I will be repurposing an old toy that belonged to my daughters.  Actually this would be the perfect summer project to do with your kids in preparation for the holidays. I bring you the Repurposed Barbie Paddles.

Είναι Τετάρτη και αυτό σημαίνει ότι έχουμε τα Χριστούγεννα τον Ιούλιο, Blog Hop.    Φιλοξενώ αυτό το blog hop με μια ομάδα  ταλαντούχες bloggers και παρουσιάζουμε όλα τα είδη για τα  Χριστούγεννα  - έτσι δεν θα πρέπει να βιαστείτε την τελευταία στιγμή το Δεκέμβριο. Ελπίζουμε ότι μας έχετε ακολουθήσει και προσθέσατε τα έργα σας. Ίσως να θυμάστε ότι αναδιαμόρφωσα ένα σπασμένο καθρέφτη. Αυτή την εβδομάδα θα μεταμορφώσω ένα παλιό παιχνίδι που ανήκε στις κόρες μου. Στην  πραγματικότητα αυτό θα ήταν το τέλειο καλοκαιρινό έργο για να κάνετε με τα παιδιά σας κατά την προετοιμασία για τις γιορτές. Θα σας δείξω  τις  αναδιαμορφωμένες  ρακέτες της Barbie.
