<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tidy Victory</b> - I found some ranunculus that I had accidentally left planted in the garden had sprouted - supposedly that plant is not hardy in our zone (which has been newly rezoned 6a instead of 5b) - I'm excited to see if it blooms! In the meantime, I am going to get the rest of the korms I have soaked and in the ground.</span><br />

</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I thought that I'd share a couple of St. Patrick's Day ideas, along with a few Easter or spring ideas.

<p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">McDonald's serves a shamrock shake for St. Patrick's Day, and Jen of Cincy Shopper made a <a href="https://cincyshopper.com/copycat-shamrock-milkshake/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">copycat shake</a> that looks so delicious! Making your own shakes at home can save you money, and it allows you to customize them with those adorable shamrock sprinkles.</span></p>

<p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Since tomorrow, Monday, February 19, is President's Day, I thought the <a href="https://debbeesbuzz.com/set-presidents-day-table-liberty-blue/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Presidential table</a> set by Debbe of Debbee's Buzz was perfect to feature. This is a vignette set off from the table, but I absolutely love the scenes depicted in these beautiful dishes: Washington crossing the Delaware, Betsy Ross making the American flag, the Boston Tea Party, and more!</span></p>

Raquel from An Organized Island shared these adorable <a href="https://www.organizedisland.com/leprechaun-hat-craft/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">leprechaun hats</a> made from terracotta pots that would be cute tray or vignette decor and could be easily changed up if needed to fit your home decor.</span></p>

<p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you have or attend a St. Patrick's Day potluck, this avocado lime crema would be a great recipe to make, wouldn't it?!

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to Happiness is Homemade Link Party #503! It's <a href="https://lifeasaleowife.com" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Niki from Life as a LEO Wife</a> here, back again, choosing the features for the month of October. It's the last weekend of October, so I wanted to share some ideas that you can use on Halloween this Tuesday. Set up a fun Halloween dinner for your family, create some last-minute decorations, or make some spooky snacks for your child's Halloween classroom party. Let's get into it!</span></p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->

You have to go over and check it out because there are so many cute things on the table that you just can't see in this photo. Things like skeleton hand napkin rings, different scenes on each bread and butter plate, and serving platters on the ends of the table. Her house is deemed the "skeleton house" in the neighborhood, and I think they named it well!</span></p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Welcome to Happiness is Homemade Link Party #502! </span></h1><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's <a href="https://lifeasaleowife.com" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Niki from Life as a LEO Wife</a> here, back again, choosing the features for the month of October. Like I mentioned last week, I love fun Halloween decorations, so I'm having so much fun visiting all of your fabulous posts and choosing these features!</span></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">This Week's Features</span></h2>
<!--/wp:heading-->
<!--wp:image {"id":39364,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"}-->
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full" style="text-align: center;"><img class="wp-image-39364" height="640" src="https://lifeasaleowife.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/HIH-Oct-22-square-collage.png" width="640" /></figure>

<p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Decorative pillows can be quite expensive, especially holiday pillows. Our own Bev of Eclectic Red Barn made these adorable <a href="https://www.eclecticredbarn.com/2023/10/easy-diy-dollar-tree-halloween-pillows.html" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Halloween pillows</a> using Dollar Tree treat bags, so they were only $1.25! She chose bags made of fabric perfect for outdoor decor. Her tutorial is quick & easy, so be sure to check it out and pin it for later. (Be sure to do that with all of our fabulous features!</span></p>

<p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This <a href="https://www.simpleeverydaymom.com/frankenstein-card-craft/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Frankenstein card craft</a>, created by Sam of Simple Everyday Mom, is an adorable idea to create with your kids or even to use in your classroom for our teachers out there! This card would be a great craft to create with your kids for a fun fall afternoon together. You could send them to grandparents, aunts, or friends, and they proudly display them year after year as Halloween decor. I still have cards that my kids made in school or Sunday school that I use as Christmas decorations. I wish a teacher had had either of my kiddos make this Franken-cutie!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;">I have several Halloween baking pans that usually stay in the Halloween decor bins each year since I'm not a baker or cook. Jennifer of Studio 27 came up with the fabulous idea of <a href="https://studio27byjenniferadams.blogspot.com/2023/10/baking-pan-makeover-halloween-house.html" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">upcycling a Halloween baking pan</a> that she found at a thrift store into a permanent faux cake decor piece. She used puffy paint so that her Halloween "cake" looks like it actually has icing on it. This is right up my alley since crafting is way more fun for me than baking. I certainly couldn't make a real cake that looks like this, lol!</span></p>

<p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">For our last two features this week, I thought I'd bring us a few Halloween adult ideas. Donna of An Organized Season created a <a href="https://anorganizedseason.com/how-to-create-haunted-mansion-bedroom-decor/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Halloween Haunted Mansion themed bedroom</a> which is so cute! She has Halloween decor sprinkled throughout the room, like this apothecary dresser set-up. Check out her full post to see all of the bedroom decor. It's amazing inspiration for your own Halloween bedroom!</span></p>

<!--/wp:image-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Need a little adult beverage for your Halloween party goers, one to liven up the night while handing out candy to trick or treaters, or even one to enjoy in your beautifully decorated master bedroom? Raquel over at Organized Island has the perfect recipe for you- this spooky looking <a href="https://www.organizedisland.com/black-martini-halloween-cocktail-recipe/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">black martini</a>! It might look like something a witch would use to poison her victims, but the ingredients create a delicious concoction everyone's sure to enjoy!</span></p>

<p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This DIY <a href="https://thehouseonsilverado.com/diy-easy-halloween-porch-sign-ideas/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Halloween porch sign</a> made by Niky over at The House on Silverado is so cute! It would be a welcoming sign to all the little trick or treaters who might be scared of other homes' spooky decorations. Don't you just love the addition of the polka dots?! It's such an easy way to up the adorability. Yeah, I said adorability :)!</span></p>

These would be a cute, non-scary addition to an apothecary "station" in your home, like I made in my kitchen, for Halloween. I love how she made these fun, with cute fillers and colored water, but if you wanted, you could make them creepy by ageing apothecary jars and using different fillers.</span></p>

If you don't have a ton of time or denim, you can just make them for the special trick or treaters in your life, like grandkids, nieces, or nephews. </span></p>

Every year I go all out with a Halloween and Christmas family movie night with themed food, drinks, decorations, games, etc. Even my oldest still wants to come home for those nights, so trust me, you want to start fun traditions that your kids or grandkids will look forward to every year and that will bring them home for years to come! These waffles would be a great tradition to start this year!</span></p>

It's great inspiration for those of us who don't want to create a scary, gory, or creepy tablescape, and I love every piece of it.

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Holy Moly, today is the 500th episode of the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Happiness is Homemade Link Up. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> How crazy is that? Fun fact if you are interested, I started participating back in 2015 as a "Guest Co-Host". Originally the three bloggers that started this fun link up would have a Rafflecopter giveaway" each month to allow a few guest hosts for the month. Fast forward to January 2016 and they invited 9 of the past guest hosts to join as full time hosts. </span></p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Overtime hosts came and went and sadly the original three are no longer around but Ducks in a Row, Love my Messy Mess, The Eclectic Red Barn and I have stayed the course. And now we are joined by Decor Craft Design and Life as a Leo Wife. 8 years, almost 9 if you count the guest spots that a few of us vae been doing this, episode 103 was January 2016 when we joined permanently. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;">I love this weekly link up. I know many think they are passe or out of date but to me it is a way of discovering not just new idea but new blogs. I went back in my archives as that post is no longer live on my site to check up on all my previous hosts. And it was great to see who is actually still around, Sadly two of the three originals are no longer blogging. </span></p>
