Random thoughts on the most beautiful Saturday morning with extra sunshine:
1. If you are reading this in the morning? Just know I’m out yard sailing with coffee following every multi-yard sale sign I can find.
Wish me luck.
2. I just posted a new “What I Bought Wednesday” on my YouTube channel with a fun idea for a party.
You can see it here.
3. I have the cutest idea to decorate a dough bowl for spring. Line up a row of topiaries in burlap-covered pots.
4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We discussed:
- the cutest DIY buffalo check wreath
- how to organize the refrigerator
- how to make mini tassels (and how to decorate with them)
- the sign-up for my $10 webinar “5 Ways To Make Money From a Blog” went live
I’d love for you to join me. The sign-up is here.
5. We are hosting a murder mystery dinner here tonight. Have you ever put on one before? I think it’s going to be so much fun.
6. The twins are going to their first sorority formal next week and the boys are camping.
Everyone is living their best life.

Hi Karianne: Thanks so much for putting the "What I Bought Wednesday" link in the Saturday blog, I so appreciate just being able to click and go right there. Love all those episodes and I've found so many helpful things myself from your info. Have a blessed day. Jan
Hi, KariAnne. I cannot wait to see what you find at today's yard sales. Isn't it funny how different regions have different names for these sales? In Connecticut we called them tag sales, where I live now they are yard sales, or garage sales. The best are the town-wide sales that take place in the summer here in upstate NY. Have an amazing weekend!
Loved Chip and Jo's barn redo!! The link to "how to distress" goes to Oscars:)
Fixing it right now!
KariAnne I loved all these creative ideas that you shared! Ou are so sweet to share my Easter centerpiece! I appreciate you and your support so much.
It is truly incredible!!!!
We have attended two murder mystery parties where we each dressed up as the character we drew. They were a lot of fun. I was the only one to guess who done it both times, no doubt due to all the mysteries I've read and the British mysteries I've watched. If you haven't watched Only Murders In The Building catch it before the 2nd season starts on June 28th. It is clever and funny and I love the artwork of the opening which changes slightly each episode. I know you will have a great time solving the mystery at the party, As a side note the second season of Bridgerton started yesterday.
Awesome! That sounds amazing!
So much fun and so many great ideas! Thanks for the weekly wrap up.
Thanks so much!
The mint-colored door and the decoupaged eggs ... sigh. And yes, years ago I went to a couple of different murder mystery parties in which we all had to dress up and act in character. We had fun but I don't think it's the kind of thing I'd ever talk my husband into doing!!!! Hope you enjoy your time tonight.
Excellent thistles, KA! Love that little knit dress - and going to order the egg organizer - we get 18 count eggs but our plastic egg cart that came with an old fridge only holds 12 - plus I use a "make-shift" top for it b/c they say eggs must always be covered. So yay.
The home tour and barn renovation were UHmazing!!! xoxo
Thanks so much for sharing The Art of Showing Up post, KariAnne, I really appreciate it. You made my week! Hope your day has been filled with all good things. Hugs and thank yous, CoCo
