Cowgirl Up! Linky Party #18



Welcome to Week 18 of 
 Cowgirl Up! Link Party . . .
the party with a cowgirl can-do  spirit!
1 Party, 4 Blogs


Your host this week is
Anita from Cedar Hill Ranch







Hi Ya'll!!  I just put my little baby (okay she's 16, but she's still my baby) on a plane for a church mission trip to San Francisco.   I got at least 3 phone calls from her, and a text that said "miss you," all before her plane even took off!!  Oh well, I guess she was feeling a little anxious to be going so far from home without us for an entire week.   One of the calls was to ask if I put the bottle of ibuprofen in her bag.  I said that it was in there, and asked if she had a headache, "No," came the reply, "I just wanted to be sure it was packed, just in case."

I have a few projects in mind to work on while she is gone.  The house will be incredibly quiet for an entire week, but THAT, I can handle.  

I'm sharing my favorites, but could have easily featured 30 projects.  I just had to force myself to narrow the list down.  So, here are my picks for the week.

Town and Country Living shared some gorgeous front doors.



Uncommon Designs showed us how to make vintage-looking crates.





Betsy Speert gave us a peek at her awesome living room.





I love this Frenchy chair redo by Zoom In 24



Northern Nesting redid her table without paint but there's paint in there somewhere; she shows us where she displayed her new painting from guess who?  (Linsey from Farmhouse Porch)  




Swede Dreamer made me thirsty with lots of beverage recipes for summer



So what if you aren't as talented an artist as Linsey? Well Remodelando has some ideas on how to make create artwork without even lifting a paint brush.



I'm a sucker for a French chair, and 551 East reupholstered hers, and shares tutorials on how we can do it too. 



Desire Empire said shared a recipe for chocolate and gluten-free slices, yum



Revisionary Life helped her daughter decorate a new apartment on a budget - Bohemian style




Faith, Hope and Cherrytea invited us to her wonderful tea

Now about the party...
You link up on my blog and your link shows up on four blogs. 
 More exposure, less time. 
We are looking for the latest and greatest projects, tutorials, ideas, crafts, recipes, decor, and inspiring stories.  Anything that you are proud to show off.
Cowgirl Up! is the link party that saves you time and brings you inspiration.  Doesn't get any easier than that!

Your daughter sounds so sweet and you must be very proud of her! You photograph very well. Hard to believe that this is Cowgirl Up #18 already! I hope to have something to link-up this summer. I've got so many little projects going right now. Love the way you upholstered your red settee in the city house. You must be one heck of a sewer! Any good tutorials that you could recommend? I would love to slipcover my red rocking loveseat(my 2 little dogs have torn it up) Even though I haven't linked-up I really enjoy these parties! Thanks to you and your co-hosts for putting these together. So much inspiration!

Hugs, Sandy
