Monday Makeover Party & Giveaway Winner!

Hello friends and welcome to week 7 of the Monday Makeover link party!  We had some beautiful projects shared last week, everything from recipes and crafts to furniture makeovers and lovely displays.  I am really enjoying how each of you have shared your creative talents with projects that make life lovelier for someone, whether it's for yourself, your family, friends or other loved ones.  There are some amazingly talented and generous bloggers out there and we are enjoying each one of your humble creations!

In case you missed this week around here, I shared a post on my Tea Party Tray and how it did not go according to plan, but still turned out to be a fun little project.  Most importantly, we have seriously been getting our tea party on around this house and loving every minute!  My Mr. T (my one year old) loves to carry the tray and pour tea just as much as his big sister!

Before we check out this week's features, I want to thank each one of you who took the time to vote on the next quilt I should finish.  Your votes and words of encouragement have spurred me on and given me a fresh excitement to finish a quilt.  Contestant number 2 is making its way to my sewing table to be given new life!

And we have a winner of the giveaway!  Using a random number generator to determine the recipient of the prize....our winner is Lynda who posted "Even though my grandson would vote for contestant number 3, I really love #2... Those colors are wonderful!"

Lynda - please send me an email to ahumblecreation (at) gmail.com so I can get your address and mail to you the fabric you won:

This week's most viewed link was a tie between two lovely projects.  Apparently you all were in the mood for some winter decorating.

Carol from Carol's Heirloom Collection shared her Winter Mantel

The Home Girl shared her Foyer Makeover

Thanks ladies for giving us inspiration with some fun, inexpensive projects to decorate our homes this winter (I write this sentence as it's 80 degrees outside...perhaps I need some of Carol's snowflakes!).

On to some of my favorites.  Once again, I want to feature them all as there were so many wonderful projects to get the creative juices flowing.

My favorite recipe this week came from Tracey at We Made That with her Double Heart Cookies

Nicole at My Garden Diaries shared her Celebrate centerpiece.  She "shopped" her home to create this simple but lovely table decor in celebration of her baby's baptism. 

Lydia from Pudel Design made this beautiful Ottoman as a House Warming Gift for a friend.  She provides a tutorial on her blog.  

I couldn't resist sharing these two variations of hearts, each a little different and with a tutorial. 

Laurie from Simply Creating Home shared her Basketful of Hearts

Stephanie from The Enchanting Rose shared her Vintage Jeweled Hearts
