Spring Spoolie Swap {Pink Saturday!!}

I'm so excited to be hosting my first Spoolie Swap! I hope lots of my crafty bloggy friends will want to join in the fun.

I first discovered these unique wooden spool crafts when I participated in a spring basket swap. Both of my partners sent me spoolies!

I've been collecting little wooden spools and setting them away for a season when I'd have more time to work on them. That time is now!

It's super easy to join the Spring Spoolie Swap. Just follow these steps:

*Send your name, mailing address, and blog address to sarah (at) hopeineveryseason (dot) com. (You don't have to have a blog to participate.)

*Please place the swap button on your blog somewhere so your friends can join in too! (There are two sizes!)

*Partners will be assigned on March 28th. Please send your gift package by April 11th.

*Reveal party (blog posts) will be held May 2nd. (Participation is optional.)

*Don't have a spool? I can set up an Etsy order for you.

*I know some of you are new to bloggy swaps so please feel free to ask me any questions!

{*swap is open to US mailing addresses only*}

The Homemaking Party: Avalon Turns 5!!

Avalon Grace turned 5 last Saturday! Daddy made her this pretty cake and we all had fun celebrating our special girl!

It was a special day full of lots of surprises like this one from big sister Selah: "To Avalon From Selah--I will always remember you."

I think it was probably her best birthday ever and she was truly a lady---being thankful for each fun moment.

I can't believe our sweet girl is growing so fast!

Now it's time for the Homemaking Party! I'm excited to see what each of you will link up. Be sure to check out some of the other great posts in the party and tell your friends!
