No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.
-Elbert Hubbard

And considering that such wisdom came from a man with a name like Elbert Hubbard, who am I to argue?

After an almost 12 hour trip back from Florida yesterday (including all the stops, which somehow multiplied alarmingly from our trip to Florida), I was able to sleep in my own bed and wake up feeling ready for…a nap.

In fact, if you I were to post a picture of myself in about 5 minutes, I think I might look more than a little like this:

  Oops.

So, since I clearly am lacking in the brain cells to say/show much interesting for myself this morning, how’s about I just dive right into what you guys got up to for last week’s party?

First up, I love this DIY Eye Chart that features a favorite scripture from Design, Dining + Diapers.

And then there’s this amazing living room space from Meeha Meeha. Drool.

And these scrumptious-looking rolled French toast treats from Inspired by Family Mag.

And this cute sewing machine cover (from a t-shirt!) from Vintage Gwen via The Crafty Scientist.

And this amazing-looking Tomato Parsley Pesto from Hello Paper Moon.

And these ah-dor-a-ble ruffled curtains from Creatively Living.

And this china hutch before and after (the before must be seen for the after to be fully appreciated) from Picked and Painted.

And last, but certainly not least, this book page bunting from The Good Life.

Thanks, guys, for saving my mental bacon (mmmmm…bacon) with your awesome creativity!

  6. Hi Abbie! Thanks for the featuring my china cabinet. I found your blog last week and I can’t get enough.
    Have a great weekend!!

  7. Thanks for the feature Abbie! I totally can relate to that top quote. Vacations sound fun, but can equal a lot of stress….I think the more kids = the more stress! lol
    Although….there is light at the end of the tunnel, even though my boys might not ever be able to do a reasonable packing job (jammies all day and super hero costumes to them would suffice), my 9 yr old daughter packed for 4 out of 5 of the kids on our last trip! Woohoo! It was wonderful!

    Put a movie on, and take a good nap!
