Frugal Crafty Home Blog Hop 102

November 16, 2014 by Carrie

Happy  weekend friends!  I hope you all aren’t freezing through this polar vortex like I am!  I’ve been pretty jealous of my friends that live in warmer climates!

Frugal Crafty Home Blog Hop

Don’t miss a party,  subscribe to my email list! 

Thanks for joining me and Jordan from Lily White. Designs, Amy From A Blossoming Life, Sara from Sneaky Spoons, and Katie from The Casual Craftlete.  We each pick different features each week so be sure to head over to the other blogs to see some more lovely features!

What’s popular this week at Carrie This Home

If you’re planning on making Thanksgiving dinner, you don’t want to miss this.  Let me introduce you to the easiest way to cook a turkey.  Ever.   This method takes just a few steps but the delicious moist turkey will fool your guests into thinking you slaved over it!

This is by far the easiest way to cook a turkey!  Crock Pot Turkey Breast

I also shared my Office Gallery Wall this week.  And the best news is I’m giving away a $50 credit to Minted.com so you can start your own!  Enter the contest here.

As you walk into the office, the gallery wall is now the focus point of the room. The gallery had to include some photos of my sweet family, inspirational quotes, and beautiful artwork. Office Gallery Wall

Awesome Features From Last Week:

Belle of the Kitchen shared these Candy Corn Dipped Oreo Cookie Balls.  They’re so pretty but they would not last long in my house!

Sometimes showing what not to do in a project is just as important as showing what you should do.  That’s why I loved this DIY No Sew Pillows tutorial from My Own Home Blog.

A Life In Balance shared a very easy Chalkboard Plate project.  Now I have to head out to Goodwill to get a plate so I can have one at my home!
