It’s Friday!
Not sure how that snuck up on me so fast…except maybe that I’ve been busy dreaming of “twin this” and “twin that” all week, and somehow the time just flew by!
Hope your week has gone just as quickly and your thoughts have been just as pleasantly occupied.
Of course, perusing Pinterest for ideas for the twins’ nursery hasn’t exactly been a huge productivity boost, but it sure is fun!
I came up with this:
I’m thinking this is bound to happen around our house at some point (unless the girls just use their identical brainwaves or their “twin language” all the time, in which case, they could plot all kinds of mischief without our knowing it…oh dear).
And this:
Yes, I know. Elegant in the extreme. (But oh so true).
And THIS, which I think is just the cutest.

With a white background, I actually think it could be a really fun complement to the Amy Butler wallpaper I showed you on Tuesday, which looks like this, in case you’ve forgotten or haven’t seen it yet:
So…yeah.
That’s what I got.
I will not show you my piles of laundry. Or my unmopped floors.
But I will be happy to show off some of your splendidness (#1 reason to host a linky party! Even if you have an unproductive week, about 50,000 people out there churned out the coolest stuff ever, which either helps you breathe a sigh of relief at having somebody to cover for you…or makes you feel really guilty for being a bum!).
With Mother’s Day just around the corner (and my own sweet mama’s birthday the day after), I’m loving all the inspiration for yummy breakfasts and brunches.
Like these strawberry scones from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom.
Or these Banana Chimis from Crumbs and Chaos.
Or these yum-mo looking cinnamon roll pancakes shared by From Dahlias to Doxies.
OR, if sweet isn’t your thing, these stuffed mushrooms from Will Cook for Smiles.
I know your stomach is rumbling, but don’t run off to the kitchen just yet because I also want you to see this beautiful window box revamp from Decorate With a Little Bit.
And this jaw-dropping stenciled rug transformation from Creatively Living
And this acrylic paint shoe makeover from It’s Just Laine.
I love to do fun stuff with my hair, but I must admit, I’ve gotten pretty lazy lately. Craftionary pretty much takes away all my excuses with her round up of fun summer hairdos, though. I want to give them all a try!
This peacock blue wine bar makeover from Markham Street Design definitely caught my eye (click over for a fun little surprise detail from the side view).
And finally, this porch spruce from Design, Dining, and Diapers just put a huge smile on my face!
Feel free to grab a button from the sidebar if you’ve been featured!
And now it’s your turn again!
Same “rules” as always:
It’s a FREE-FOR-ALL!
If you’ve blogged about it, I want to see it!
So…
1. Link to your specific post URL instead of your blog URL (no limit on the number of linkies, so add as many as you like!)
2. Grab a party button so that others can join in the fun! (Text link-backs are great too! : ))
3. Consider visiting/commenting on at least 2 of the other links. You never know what kind of inspiration you might miss out on if you don’t. Plus we all love to read words of encouragement! (I know I do!)
4. PLEASE, no shops or giveaways!
5. If we aren’t already friends, would you do me the honor of getting regular post updates here?:
or you can:
subcribe for email updates,
and/or join our Facebook page!
Hey Abbie! Somehow I missed linking up Friday. I remembered when I was checking out those tasty chocolate covered strawberries and cup cakes. Ahh, you’re killing me! lol Hope your week is off to a great start. =) Thanks for hosting.

How much fun are you going to have shopping/decorating for twins? Hopefully enough to last through the diaper stage…;) Thanks for hosting, and I finally have something to link up!
You will have to confirm for me if the age old wives-tale is true that twins have the Olympic event of synchronized pooping. If so, you will need two of the same onsies altered a bit….Ipood & Ipood2

Thank you so much for hosting! I have enjoyed your blog in so many way! More than five to be exact! : ) I would love to know what time you start your party. I am trying to get a party list organized. I am always pulling up late to everyone’s party. Please let me know when you get the chance! Love, Me http://www.youaretalkingtoomuch.com
Hi Abbie! Congratulations on your twins! My dad is an identical twin and I have observed one of the most magical relationships ever between him and my uncle. I think identical twins have a special connection that the rest of us don’t have. What a huge gift. PS Thanks for hosting. 🙂

I’ve already bookmarked the post about hairstyles. That was a great feature! My mom is getting married next Sunday and this girl needs to do her own hair…I have a feeling it’s going to come in handy. Hair experimentation this weekend? Sounds good. : )

Congrats on the twins! What adorable goodness you have found in preparation for your new arrivals…I’m torn between the Pears and the tin can phone prints…when in doubt get them both 🙂 All of the other features are equally delightful…may have to add those stuffed mushrooms to my Mother’s day brunch menu. Thanks for hosting!
