A New Creation Link Party #2

Welcome to the second week of A New Creation link party!  Last week was fabulous; y'all linked up lots of inspiring projects and there was a big increase in the number of link-ups views.  A big thank you to all of you for sharing your work and for supporting your fellow talented bloggers!

In case you missed out around here this week, I've had a few projects up my sleeve, including:

      


Every week I tell you I have such a hard time picking favorites, and apparently, this week so did you.  There was actually a 6-way tie for the most viewed link, so I will only be featuring those most viewed projects this week.

If you haven't visited yet, go check out these most viewed projects from some talented ladies:
You can also see all of the link ups from each week pinned to my Pinterest board

Nicole at My Garden Diaries has a green thumb I can only dream of and shares such unique garden and home projects, like her Fairy and Gnome House she created with her daughter.


Noreen at Crafty Journal shares fun and easy to follow crafts for all occasions, like this Shamrock Angel

Connie at Family Home and Life offers a wealth of ideas for family fun, including this DIY Peanut Butter and Jelly Game with tutorial (I have a feeling Connie is a really wonderful grandmother!)


Kathe at Kathe With an E shared her Valentine Table for Two, an extra special celebration as it was the anniversary of the day her husband proposed!

Meg at Meg's Mess shared her breath of fresh air getting ready for St. Patrick's Day and spring with her Blessed St. Patricks Day Decor


Stephanie at Love Olympia June has a knack for turning thrifted or free finds into beautiful creations for her home, which she showed with her Family Room Storage Solutions


There is one more link I want to share for its beauty and creativity, but also to ask for your help in praying.  Jen from Through My Creative Mind created a lovely Lunch Bag Album for her mother to enjoy some positive memories while undergoing care for a recent diagnosis of stomach cancer.  I know this blogging community is made up of some loving, caring, beautiful people.  Let's join together in praying for peace and comfort for Jen and her family.



And now it's time to party!  You're invited to link up any of your creative projects.  
Please keep in mind:

How to share your creations:
  1. Please grab a button or add a text link back to my site somewhere in your post.
  2. Feel free to post more than one project, but please be sure to link back to the specific post, not your main page.
  3. Please consider following me (FacebookPinterestBloglovinGoogle +, Google Friend Connect, RSS feed).  It's not required, but you might find something you like!
  4. The link party will be up from Sunday evening through Friday evening.
  5. Each Monday I will feature the most viewed link along with some of my favorites, so check back to see if you've been featured.
  6. Please don't forget to visit some of the other link-ups for great ideas and inspiration.
  7. Have fun!

  1. Oooo! Excited to get this party started. Thanks for being such a warm and welcoming hostess each week, Jessica.

    Great features; six-way tie? That's crazy! That pb & jelly game looks super cute. And I'm going to pray for Jen and her family right now. Thanks for letting us know.

    Have a wonderful start to your week,
    Lauren

  2. Hi Lauren,
    Thanks for linking up so fast...it's nice to know people out there in blogland actually want to party with me :)

    Yes, the six way tie was fun because it was so good to see bloggers visiting one another's posts! When I speak at a dinner meeting, I always thank the audience for their participation and tell them that without them it would just be me talking to myself and I feel the same way about these link parties. It's a much better party when we all "mingle"!

    Thanks for praying for Jen!
    Hugs,
    Jessica

  18. I wish I had a project just so I could link up, too! I never have projects. I'm lazy....an impatient...and not terribly creative when it comes to making things from scratch. I think it has something to do with my Mom forcing me to go to summer camp where we had to do crafts. :-) Best wishes for a great link party!

      I would have been the annoying kid at camp asking for extra craft projects :)
