Creatively Crafty Link Party #65

Welcome to the Creatively Crafty Link Party hosted by the Creative Crafters Blogging Group! You’ve worked hard on your project, and it looks great! Share it with us and get the kudos you deserve! Any and all creative endeavors are welcome…crafts, original writing, recipes, DIY tutorials, you name it!

The first day of the month is Creative Craft Bloggers Challenge day. This month’s topic was photography. Have a look at this post for more information on using macro or extension tubes to increase the magnification of the lenses you already have. You’ll also find links to other posts created by the group.

Rick and I are headed back to Spain today. For the last couple years it has been “cheaper” to purchase a round trip ticket with a long return date (like 11 months) but that locks us into travelling the same time of year. Not this time. We were able to snag a deal on a one way flight on a Portuguese airline. No surprise, there’s a hidden “price” to this deal. It involves changing planes twice and sitting in the middle seats of the jet liner. Hopefully there will be free seats so we can move around. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I packed light on the way over knowing I had to make a couple purchases in the States. It seems like I’m taking way too much back, but I’m within the weight limits. Rick, on the other hand, has shipped stuffed overseas and still has a heavier suitcase than I do.

Here’s this week’s featured post!

Jen at Honestly Modern talks about how she figured out how to do all the “stuff” she needs to do without sacrificing time with her family or her hobbies. It’s a great look at how setting priorities and creative thinking helps to improve efficiency, however it is defined for you. I think you’ll find it helpful no matter what season of life you’re in.

On to the party!

Do you have anything creative you’d like to share? We’d love to see it. Browsing through the projects is a pleasant part of my week! Thank You for sharing your creativity with us. Each week we will sponsor a new link party, and pin our favorites. With so many bloggers participating that means more exposure for YOU! Head over to the other co-hosts blogs to see all their fun stuff. Check them out here:

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?
