What I Whipped Up Wednesday Linky Party- Week 12

I'm opening the linky party early this week because there are a lot of things coming to Sugar and Dots within the next few days!

Before I get started on last weeks' What I Whipped Up Wednesday features, I want to mention a few things.

First, hi. How are you? Have you had a crazy start to the new year like me? Are you still totally overwhelmed from the holidays? 2011 is kicking my butt and we're not even two full weeks into the year yet. If you follow me on Twitter, then you get to hear my daily rants. If you don't follow me on Twitter, don't start now...the "unfollow" button will be enticing. ;)

Did you know that Thursday is my one year blogiversary? It's true! One whole year of figuring myself out, finding my style, connecting with incredibly kind and amazingly talented people, and documenting our life as it changed rapidly. I love this blogging world more and more everyday. Thank you so very much for choosing to be a part of my little piece of the internet. I adore my readers! Your support, comments, follows, emails, tweets, Facebook comments, and hand-written letters have brought me incredible joy. I actually started to type out a thank you to each and every Sugar and Dots subscriber, but my week got a little nutty and the project came to an end. I promise I had the intention though...I'm just a bit too stressed and sore to create a big project like that right now. It will happen one day!

Speaking of Thursday- I am honored to announce that sweet Jen from Tatertots and Jello will be here guest posting! {happy dance} Her post is uber cute and fun! You won't want to miss it! I will also be announcing a fun giveaway for my newest product right after Jen's post! If all goes according to plan, my blog will have a completely new look on Thursday, too!

Wednesday I will be stocking the newly designed shop with lots of new goodies. Want a sneak peak?

I'll be posting about those on Wednesday night. :)

Now on with the party!

Last week was a smaller linky, but you ladies didn't disappoint with quality! It was nearly impossible to choose just a couple to highlight, but here they are:

Melissa made an adorable (and easy peasy!) ruffled scarf that I am dying to re-create.

Jen made this flirty apron...you all know my love for aprons!

Kathy displayed a saying close to her heart in her dining room. She also tells a story that many can relate to.

Elizabeth showed off a fab tutorial that I know you're going to love! I have a post written up for nearly the same tutorial that will go up on the blog Friday, but our techniques vary slightly. Great minds... ;)

Now it's your turn!

A few things to remember:

Must be your project...any craft, recipe, makeover, or idea you want to show off.

Must be linked to the specific blog post; not just your blog's url.

Feel free to grab the button so that others can link up too!

Happy Wednesday!
