Creatively Crafty Link Party #267

One of my favorite childhood memories was my Nana patiently playing endless games of Chinese checkers with her grandchildren. She had a metal set with drawers to hold the marbles. I think the other side was regular checkers, but we didn’t play that nearly as often. As we got older, she taught us how to play dominoes, canasta, rummy and eventually pinochle. She was a bit of a shark, to be honest, but it was all fun.

So you can imagine my little squeal when I saw Lisa S’s upcycled plant stand.

Drop by Fresh Vintage by Lisa S to learn a little more about the history of the game, see her collection of vintage boards and find out how she put it all together. It’s a great little table that can be used for more than holding a pretty plant.

The fourth week of Lent is drawing to a close and I’m over halfway through the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. If you’ve read the books you know I’m in the part of the tale that drags a bit. New characters are introduced and the story doesn’t advance a whole lot. The good news is that since this is only my second read of the last novels I’m uncovering a lot of details I missed the first time around!

We sci-fi and fantasy fans love convoluted stories, what can I say?

Thanks for sharing your project with us! Keep an eye out as we’ll be sharing posts on various social media channels during the week. We’re growing and that’s a good thing, although as the party gets larger it will be more difficult for me to visit and comment on every link. So I’m counting on you guys to help out. Please try to find time to visit a link or two yourself and congratulate your fellow crafters on a job well done!

There are just a few simple rules:

-Link to a specific post, not your home page.

-Link up something YOU made/wrote/created.

-Giveaways, other link parties, Etsy shops or business links are not accepted.

-Don’t link and run. Try to visit at least one link and show them some love. You may make a new friend.

Please do not pin from these thumbnails. If there’s a post you want to pin please click on the link title to visit the source and pin from their blog. Not a blogger? No problem! Anyone with an Instagram or Facebook account can link to a photo of your completed masterpiece or work in progress. Could you do us a favor and share the party on Twitter before linking up?
