A Neat Old Desk for the Homemaking Party

Look what I got!!!! I'm so so excited about this neat old desk my mom gave me today. I'm thinking it needs some shabby white paint and a little birdie stencil. Love it---thanks, Mom!

In other news, I just signed up as a Pampered Chef consultant. I've sold the products off and on the past 13 years or so, and am thrilled to be working, once again, with this great company. If you'd like to do an online party or even sign up to be a consultant too, please let me know and I'd be happy to get you started!

I love to feature some of the neat posts that are linked up---Please make sure and put my button or a text link on each blog post you link up.

Here are a couple of my favorites from last week's party:

I love this great tutorial and recipe for Homemade Laundry Soap from Jennifer at Mama Economics. Mom gave me a great big bucket so I can get started on making my own. Thanks (again!) Mom!

My friend Audra shared some of her family's favorite books. There are several of my personal favorites on this Delightful Summer Reads for Girls list, and she's also got a great one for boys at AudraSilva.com.

Laura at Harvest Lane Cottage linked up her post on reasons why her family homeschools. A lot of our reasons are the same as hers. What a blessing it is to spend all day, every day, with my sweet kiddos. (By the way...I would give a vital organ for this vintage edition of this Handbook of Nature Study. It's one of our favorites!)

Thanks to everyone for the great posts!
