Happy Monday! I hope you enjoyed a wonderful, sunny weekend. We had great, if VERY hot weather while we were visiting my parents in Ottawa. It was great to see them because we (finally) celebrated the sale of their house!! We managed to escape to our friends’ cottage for a swim and some gorgeous lake time, too. Oh, and I’m working on an awesome sewing project… It was heaven!

I’m really looking forward to some of the posts and blog updates coming your way in the next two weeks. I’ll have the continuation of my Scandinavian anniversary meal. Last week I posted an easy-to-make smoked salmon appetizer. In case you missed it…

So please DO stay tuned for some great news and posts in the next few days! If you want to receive F&K posts straight to your inbox, you can always subscribe via email. (Over there in the sidebar… On the right… -> -> -> -> -> ->)

Here are this week’s 

• Seven Tips Every Blogger Should Know Before Working With Brands from The Cuteness
• 5 Tips for Perfect Smoothies from Mama’s High Strung
• DIY Monogram Wall Hanging with Tutorial from 4SYTHETRAIL

Here are my favorite posts from last week’s party:

I loved this tutorial for a hanging birdcage planter from Thrifty Artsy Girl. What an awesome DIY and so much better than the run-of-the-mill-garden-centre baskets!

I also really enjoyed reading this tutorial for a DIY zippered pencil pouch from Home Crafts by Ali. I’ve been getting to know Ali a little bit since we’ve been co-hosting Blogger Brags, and her site is full of great, creative DIY ideas.
