What to do Weekends #237 ~ Happy August

Hi friends, I'm so glad you are here. Happy August! Already. This summer and year, for that matter, have just been flying by. I hope you've had a good week. Mine was a bit slower than usual, but then again that's kinda nice every once in awhile. I shared my Lemon Curd and Candied Lemon Peel recipes with you all earlier today. I hope you get a chance to take a look.  With that said should we get to the party? 

So much talent, thank you all so much for joining us each week. This week, I'm sharing a few FEATURES that caught my eye. 

First up, is Interior Frugalista's Faux Snakeskin Tray with Stencil. I love how this turned out. Nice job!

Paulette's Paper shared her Weekly Bible Journal.  I love it! Friends if you haven't started bible journaling yet, you really don't know what you're missing.

How to Make Homemade Lemon Curd and Candied Lemon Peel!

Hi Friends, It has been too long since I've been able to share something of my own with you! Yesterday, I posted some of these images on Shoestring Elegance's Facebook Page Well, let's just say there was far more interest than I had anticipated in my use of the Lemons that came with my new home. I lost my rose garden when I had to move, but I gained a Lemon tree! I'm, constantly trying to find the silver linings, I guess.  Truthfully, to have found any new place in my home town these days is quite a feat, so I am choosing gratitude for all that I am blessed with. Which now includes a Lemon Tree! 

Which brings me to these images!  With the lemons starting to fall and new green ones starting to appear, I felt I better get to using them for something more than the lemon zest in my everyday cooking.
