Welcome to our One Hundred Fortieth Sweet Inspiration Link Party.

I have some sad news to share this week.  This will be my last week hosting the party. All good things must come to an end.  I have been hosting for almost three years now but it is time to focus on other things in my life.  Gail and Christina will also be leaving but we are leaving the party in the capable hands of  Amy of Health Home and Heart.  Amy will be joined by Eileen from Just Measuring Up and Lidia from Design Inside the Box. I hope that you will support these ladies as much as you have supported us over the years.   

I would like to close by thanking each and every one of you for your participation in the party. I am grateful and honored to have visited all your blogs from the first party till now and have learned so much from you all and have made lots of wonderful friends.  Because that is what a link party is really all about. Community! I will continue to visit your blogs. <3

I loved seeing all of the different paints and techniques that Vicki from Entri Ways used over the past year. She has done some fantastic projects the past year, and I’ll definitely be trying some of her techniques in the future.

 I’m in love with this winterberry fur wreath from Beverly and Gloria over at Across the Boulevard. It’s just perfect for winter, and I think one of these would look perfect with my decor.

Salmon croquettes. So easy to make them and they look delicious and crispy. Full recipe from Tracie at Somewhat Awry.

This is by far my favorite edition for falafel. I’ve never seen a recipe like this before so I’m going to give it a try the soonest possible. You can find the recipe from Jas at All Thats Jas.

We all have problems hiding those unsightly, awkward containers in our laundry room and Ann at The Apple Street Cottage shares her easy, and beautiful solution!

I was amazed how Kimberly at DIY Party Mom helped arranged her parents 50th Anniversary Party. Thinking of my own 50th this year, this celebration was truly gorgeous!

 I was smitten with this coat that Laurie of Vanity and Me shared with us. I can just dive right into it what with the weather being so horrid these days. I love that blue color and also the fact that it is not heavy. Winter you can stay as long as you want if I get to look as stylish as Laurie! 
Picture
Lately I have been getting up early while everyone is still asleep and I marvel at all I get done in the morning. And with a smile on my face! Candice of She’s Crafty has a great routine for the morning and I am going to follow some of her suggestions too.

The most popular by a landslide was by our former hostess Michelle of A Crafty Mix for her DIY Pool Ramp for her adorable pup, EeeeDeeee!

    It’s really sad to see that you’re leaving Mary, but I totally understand. Without the Sweet Inspiration Party, I would never have been fortunate enough to get to know you. It feels like yesterday when Keri helped me join a link party for the first time. LOL, I was so scared I was going to do it wrong and then the best thing ever happened, I found you and Katrin and Pili. It does feel like yesterday. Thank you for being such an amazing, caring person.
