Speaking of reading, I just finished Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn. Did you read it? I thought it was disturbing and messed up. If there weren't so many twists, I would've stopped reading it from the start. I did however read a book that I really enjoyed, If You Lived Here by Dana Sachs . I would highly recommend it!

Hey! My friend and fellow blogger Nancy asked me if I would like to Co-host a link party with her, and I said YES! Nancy is an awesome blogger who makes all these super cute crafts over at her blog. Seriously, everything she makes, I want to make too!  So check out her link party information below, and be sure to check out her blog Small Things ! You'll love it!  Welcome back!  Here we are in week 4 already! Thank you, thank you to everyone that has linked up already.  I love looking at your OLD posts!  I have to be honest, one of the first things I look at when I visit your blog is the date.  I love it when I find something from 2 or three years ago!  And, I have to be honest, I am a little biased.  I tend to feature the OLDER posts.  So, keep digging through those archives! Before we get to the party, here are some FABULOUS and OLD Features! As a lover of spoon rings, I couldn't resist this project.  I love this spoon pendant from Upcycled Stuff .  I am
