Creative Thursday Link Party No. 14

Well, summer has officially hit us in Northern California and we are having blazin' hot days in the high 90's to low 100's.  YUK!

I am SO not a summer person.  I don't mind the sunshine and warm weather but at least have the grace to cool off at night so I can open my windows!

For those of us who started summer early, we go back to school in just 5 weeks if you can believe that.  We have been boating a few times, up to my parents for the 4th of July and are getting ready for our BIG trip of the summer (more to come on this Friday; until then you will be in suspense lol )

Are you ready to party?  I am!

I want to thank everyone who linked up two weeks ago; we had a whopping 164 posts on my link party (happy dance and confetti!) BIGGEST PARTY EVER!

I also want to thank everyone who links up each and every week; ESPECIALLY in the summer because I know exactly how busy life can be and I really do appreciate your taking the time to spend a few minutes with me each week.  I enjoy reading all the stories behind each post :)

A warm welcome to all the new bloggers following and participating in Creative Thursday.

I can't wait to see what everyone has been working on this week.  Here are YOUR top 3 viewed (on top) and MY favorite features (bottom two rows because I wanted to choose every post) from last week.  In no particular order

1.  Chicken Parmesan Sliders from The Grant Life Yum!  Can't wait to try this recipe.
2.  Cheesy Grilled Potatoes from It's not just about the recipe cheese and potatoes ~ need I say more?
3.  American Chevron Quilt from So Wonderfully Complex a beautiful patriotic quilt.
4.  Chocolate Dipped Ice Cream Cones from Meaningful Mama love this idea and so will every kiddo.
5.  Cyanotype Prints from Art Club Blog also know as sun printing and so very cool!
6.  Artichoke Dip Stuffed Mushrooms from Dishing With Leslie these are the perfect summer party appetizer.
7.  Ragtop Blankets and Burp Clothes from Adventures of a DIY Mom super soft and homemade, makes me want one too.
8.  No Bake Raspberry Cheesecake Parfait from Stop Lookin' Get Cookin' the perfect go to summer dessert that won't heat up the kitchen.
9.  Toy Storage Ideas from There was a crooked house this is the perfect storage idea for toys or anything else that needs to be sorted and stored. In my house it would be perfect for shoes! Yes, we have that many lol
