The Inspiration Board: creative party spotlight [104]
Happy Friday everyone! We had short week here in the United States and boy, do I wish we had another long weekend. It was nice to feel caught up and have a little down time last weekend but now I’m back running just to keep up. I see nothing slowed any of you down. There were so many gorgeous projects shared on The Inspiration Board this week. In case you didn’t have a chance to stop by, here’s what I shared here at homework.

The Inspiration Board: creative party spotlight ~103~
Happy Friday creative friends! I’m so happy that you stopped by because as always, there are beautiful featured projects to see today. Here in the United States, it’s a holiday weekend. On Monday we honor the men and women who sacrificed their lives for our country. The 3- day weekend also unofficially marks the beginning of summer. Are you dreaming of summer? I know I am. I can’t wait the warm slower-paced days that summer brings.
In case you didn’t have a chance to stop by this week, here’s what I shared.
Now on to the features. Thank you to everyone who linked up their projects on The Inspiration Board this week. Beautiful and amazing inspiration was shared by all. Here are a few in the spotlight this week.

This post brought to you by Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine.
Last week I showed you my little Japanese Spring Garden Seedlings. I’ve been taking really good care of them and I’m so excited about the possibility of actually harvesting these yummy veggies. The seedlings are Kabocha, Japanese Eggplant and Japanese Cucumber. You can read more about these vegetables here.

GOOD TASTE: A ZESTY GRILLED ASPARAGUS SANDWICH
Kraft sent me a bottle of the product to review, but they haven’t reviewed or approved what I wrote below. All opinions are mine. Enjoy!
Do I have a treat for you today. I made the most delicious sandwich the other day with the complimentary bottle of Kraft Zesty Italian Anything Dressing I received. When I was chosen to review this product, I wanted to create something outside of my normal cooking box. Something that I wouldn’t usually cook at home but I would order at a restaurant. I came up with a grilled asparagus sandwich that was out of this world good.

THE INSPIRATION BOARD: LINK PARTY SPOTLIGHT ~102~
Happy Friday everyone! Another creative week has flown by. We had a busy week at our house. We survived a prom, had a wonderful Mother’s Day celebration, plus the regular hectic daily schedule, including sports practices and the end of season sport’s banquet {and guess who is team mom?}. I made several bouquets for the banquet out of beautiful sunny yellow sunflowers, hydrangeas, spider mums and more. I didn’t post them here but posted the photo to Instagram. I just joined Instagram – can you believe it? You can follow me here if you’d like.

And, in case you didn’t have a chance to stop by this week, here’s what I shared. My Asian Spring Vegetable Garden, A Facial Scrub Round Up and a Sympathy Card.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by and linked up their projects this week. There were some problems with the linky this week and the linky people are working on fixing the issue. If you had trouble linking up I’m so sorry. I hope you come back next week and try again. I’d love to see your projects.
As always, there were so many beautiful projects and I was so inspired by the pops of color. Here are the projects in the spotlight this week.

Good Taste: warm, flip, serve {ps don’t forget the cake}
This post brought to you by Private Selection. All opinions are 100% mine.
What can be better than homemade cake still warm from the oven? I love making cakes – for a family treat, or a dessert to take school events or gatherings with friends. But lately, I’m finding I have less and less time to whip up a cake even one from a mix.
Store-bought cakes are great in a pinch but you still can’t beat that warm-from-the-oven sensation.

Celebrations: cinco de mayo round up
This year Cinco de Mayo snuck up on me. Wasn’t it just Cinco de Abril? I didn’t prepare any fun and festive Cinco de Mayo projects so rather than throw a craft or recipe together, I thought I’d do round up of some of the prettiest Cindo de Mayo ideas I’ve seen.
