Messy Messy Fail - A few weeks ago, my dog was skunked and I was highly annoyed.  

Tidy Victory - I caught the skunk and he will no longer be skunking around here! :)

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #634

Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #634!

Katie again from Love My Messy Messy Mess - it's been such a pleasure to serve as hostess for the month of April, I hope you enjoyed all of the features!

We are back to cold rainy weather here, but the buds and leaves on the trees are starting to pop, such a lovely reprieve from that frigid, long winter we had

Thank you for taking the time to check out our party this weekend - feel free to click around and see what our bloggers have to share this week.

This Week's Features

Pineapple Upsidedown Cake Cocktail 

This blogger always has the best cocktail recipes and I'm ready for some fun summer inspired drinks - check out this recipe for Pineapple Upsidedown Cake Cocktail from Cindy's On-Line Recipe Box!

DIY Faux Blossom Branch Tree

Often times I like to forage outside for grasses and branches to use in vases for decor in my house, however the nicest ones aren't always available year round.  This tutorial for DIY Faux Blossom Branch Tree would be a fun project to have on hand during cold weather to bring a little warmth and beauty inside your home.

Mexican Guitar Craft

Cinco de Mayo is coming up, and what better way to get the little ones involved then with a craft.  This Mexican Guitar Craft from Simple Everyday Mom looks fun for kids of all ages!

Homemade Sloppy Joes

I love making sloppy joes for dinner, but instead of using the canned mix, try this recipe for Homemade Sloppy Joes from Recipe Idea Shop for a healthier alternative (less sodium for sure!)

Lemon Shortbread Cookies

Me and the lemon flavored anything - what can I say, I'm a sucker for it!  Wouldnt these be so delicious with a cup of tea at night for an after dinner treat?  Here's the recipe for Lemon Shortbread Cookies.

Let's Get To The Party!
