WHAT'S NEW AROUND HERE
Last weekend, my husband and I took just a 2-day trip to Aspen, Colorado. Next month we will celebrate living in Colorado for 12 years, and there are a few "bucket list" items I feel I need to do to be a true Coloradan. One was go to a hot springs, which I did last year. Awesome.
Another was to go to Aspen (and the White River National Forest). As a non-skier, that means going in the summer. And you can do a lot more in the summer, too!
Here are 4 things I learned:
I highly recommend it.
And one last thing: As you know, I always spotlight the 3 most-visited posts of each linkup, and I do it even when mine is one of them--I'm honest to a fault. 😜 These are essentially "voted on" by readers, so I just report the news, so to speak.
Now off to the spotlights: the 3 most-visited, the Lucky Star, and the Host's Choice.

Thanks for another great party, Jennifer! Wishing you a wonderful start to a new school year. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Forever Cloud, too - I always learn so much about the digital world from you (which has definitely been an areaI continue to grow in). Have a wonderful getaway, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura! I love hearing this! :) And thanks for your well-wishes on the school year and getaway. So happy you're participating in the linkup. We love seeing the creative ideas you have to share.
Deletehi jennifer just shared the buckets and signed up for your newsletter, laura in Colorado
ReplyDeleteOh, that's fantastic, Laura. Thanks for sharing your darling post on decorating with buckets! I'm so happy to hear that. I hope you'll really enjoy the newsletter as well. (P.S. I'm in Colorado, too!) So happy to have you as part of the linkup!
DeleteThank you so much for the feature, I so appreciate it. I added your badge to my blog. Your trip looks amazing! I would love to go to London.
ReplyDeleteOf course--it was a well-loved post. :) Thanks for adding the badge to your blog--it's always nice to celebrate and it's also great to reach more bloggers. Thanks for being part of our linkup here! Yes, it was such a fun trip. I just love London. I was surprised at how enamored I am now with the Isle of Wight and Dover, too!
DeleteJennifer, as always, thank you for hosting this wonderful link-up. Happy 16th blog-versary! I love visiting your blog, and you always share great information. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing that, Stephanie. :) Thank you kindly! Have a great week, too.
DeleteHappy November, Jennifer AND Happy Blogiversary, too! I will look forward to your upcoming scrapbook series and I know Laurie (my blogging partner) will, too! You always have the best ideas for preserving our memories! Thanks for the party!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Laura. :) I really appreciate that. I'm glad you (and Laurie) will look forward to my new series. It's pretty simple, but I'm excited to share. I'm so glad you are enjoying my ideas for preserving memories. Thank you so much for being a part of the party and everything you bring to Will Blog for Comments. :)
DeleteHappy New Year, Jennifer! I was thinking today that I also might need to stop collecting nativities although I love finding new ones when I travel. At some point I need to start downsizing! LOL! Happpy belated anniversary! As always, thanks for the party!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! I love finding new nativities when I travel also. For me, it might need to be more of a "give away the ones I don't love" rather than stop collecting them. ha :) You're welcome, and thank you for being a great part of our linkup!
DeleteYour book is lovely, Jennifer, what a great way to chronicle a year. thanks so much for hosting this party. I love to come here to share ideas. Have a wonderful week. So glad your foot is healing nicely.

Thanks, Lynne. Yes, link parties are such a fun venue for sharing ideas. Happy you're joining us.
DeleteYour 2025 yearbook is such a treasure, Jennifer! You are an inspiration for savoring memories! I'm so glad that your healing is going well, too! It must feel so good to be on this side of the surgery! Thanks, as always, for hosting this special link up! Happy February!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Laura! :) I appreciate that so much. Happy to have you joining our linkup!
DeleteJennifer, as always, thank you for hosting this wonderful link-up. It's appreciated. 😊 And thank you for featuring my upcycled glass Valentine's jars. Aw, that was such a fun project to work on. 💖✨ And a big thank you for giving my bloggers' dos and don'ts a shout-out! That was so kind of you. Wishing you the best during your foot surgery recovery. Take care and have an awesome week. 🌟
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome--and thank you for sharing your fun projects with us. I couldn't help myself sharing your "bloggers' dos and don'ts"--it really was one of my favorite reads from the last couple of weeks, and I think you said everything so well and gave us all such important reminders. Thanks for the well-wishes. I'm now walking without the boot and getting back into things, which is nice. My goal today is go for a 15-minute walk in the sunshine. :) Have a great week, too!
DeleteThanks so much, Jennifer, for the feature for the thrifted crafts. Learning a new skill is always fun and a little intimidating but fun wins out. Your new on-line course sounds really interesting. I really appreciate all the inspiration and information you have on your blog.
ReplyDeleteLynne, Thrifting Wonderland
I agree--sometimes it's a little intimidating (or downright scary) to learn a new skill, but the process is fun anyway. :) Thank you--yes, I'm hoping the online event at the end of April will be both helpful and fun! I'd love to have you join me. And thank you so much for your kind words about my blog. :) Thank you for joining us in our linkup, Lynne!
DeleteThank you for hosting! I've posted two links and visited 4 other links on your party! Fun seeing other blog sites!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us, Debra, and welcome! So happy you found us. I look forward to seeing what you've shared with us this time. Thanks for visiting others. Yes, it's so fun to see what everyone is enjoying and doing. :) We hope to see you back here next time as well--this particular linkup is extended a little because I'll be doing a little traveling, but the next one will open April 20.

DeleteHappy June, Jennifer! Your family time sounds like such fun! I love the sombreros and mustaches and the skit-in-a-bag is an activity we're going to remember! Thanks so much for hosting this link up and, most especially, thank you for highlighting our "Hungry Caterpillar" post. We're delighted to be included in this week's features! As always, we appreciate your encouragement and your visits!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I can hardly believe it's already June. It really was a fun family time--as I wrote a very brief summary of everything we did, I actually thought of your family parties. :) If you do something similar, I'd love to see it. Happy to feature your "Hungry Caterpillar" post. Thanks for joining our linkup!

DeleteJennifer, my apologies for not visiting in awhile. Thanks so much for hosting, I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so thrilled to see you back here, Melynda! Thanks for joining us. :)
DeleteIt’s been a long minute since I visited and participate, but I’m so happy to be back. I brought my TUSCAN CHICKEN PASTA SALAD, PAN SEARED CHICKEN in HERB WINE SAUCE along with my BROWNED BUTTER TOASTED COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. Thank you for always hosting a GREAT party and I hope your week is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Tamy! Happy to see you here. Thanks for sharing your delicious recipes. I'm looking forward to checking them out. :)
DeleteJennifer, thank you for hosting. I love that massage feature for the recliner. My husband has a bad back, and when we recently went car shopping, we made sure to get that feature added. We love it. I hope that you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Stephanie--thanks so much for joining our linkup! Wow, I had no idea that massage was an option for cars, too. That's awesome. Lumbar support is a must for me in the car, and I do use the seat warmer for lower back heat. ha ha :) Wishing you a wonderful week as well.
DeleteThank you so much for the feature of my slow cooker roast beef with apples. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteHappy to--it was a popular post. :) Thanks for joining us here, Carol!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura--I'm glad you think so, too. :) Thank you for joining our linkup! We're so happy you're here sharing.
DeleteI totally understand your excitement for a new couch! I have a recliner that heats and massages too, and I love it. I used to buy furniture for its appearance, now I buy for its comfort ha ha.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so happy you have one, too, Amy! :) Right?--priorities change over time. ha Thanks for joining us here.
DeleteThank you so much for the feature. Much appreciated!
