Happy Thursday! Once again, I’ve joined up with my crafty friends from the Creative Craft Blog Group {CCGB} to bring you our weekly Link Party CCBG#26. Before we move on with the Link Party I want to tell you a little bit about my Happy Memory Jar.

DIY Happy Memory Jar

My very first blog post was about a project designed to capture a year full of happy memories. As some of you know, my 23 year old son unexpectedly passed away in March of 2015. The year had been filled with such unbearable heartache and the thought of 2016 gave me hope that better days were ahead.

I gathered some random craft items around my house and created a happy memory jar for myself and my three daughters. We have been filling each memory jar (decorative jar, mason jar and berry basket) with all our happy memories throughout 2016. On New Year’s Eve we will be reading and reminiscing about all the happiness we were able to capture even though grief is and always will be a daily part of our lives.

How does a link party work?

Every Thursday a group of my crafty friends will host a new link party. By linking your recent homemade project to the bottom of this post a thumbnail image will be added to the collage with a link to your blog so that  we can visit your blog and see what you have been making.

Your project could be featured!

Each week one of my crafty friends and myself will choose our personal favorite link of the week. If you are featured on one of our blogs, grab this button and share the good news with your crafty friends. {Put the button on your blog and share it on Facebook too.} Featured posts will also be added to the Creative Craft Bloggers Group Pinterest Board.

Make sure you visit my fellow Co-Hosts to see all the fun and crafty things they have to share with you as well as their featured guest.

My Featured Post of the Week

Oh My Goodness! I seriously can’t get over the creative genius shown on the makeover of this blanket rack turned Farmhouse Vegetable Stand that was submitted by Redo It Yourself Inspirations. Such a creative way to repurpose something I see all the time at the thrift stores, flea markets and garage sales. She also used Milk Paint which is something I need to try.
