I am just loving this beautiful weather that we have been having in PA!  I know it's not a secret that I love the summer and all the food that goes along with it!  Here is a round up of some of my favorite drinks floating around online!  Heres to keeping you cool and refreshed during these hot months!

Fresh Squeezed Lemonade from {Our Best Bites}

I can personally say "I LOVE this lemonade recipe!"  If you haven't been following  {OUR BEST BITES}, you need to.  I even bought their recipe book and lets just say, I haven't found a recipe that I didn't like from these two ladies!

Melonberry Lemonade from {Baking with Blondie}

I LOVE watermelon and I LOVE strawberries and this recipe uses both!  This looks so good right? Aren't the flower pieces of watermelon on the glass the perfect touch!

Pomegranate Green Iced Tea from {Bubbly Nature Creations}

I am not a coffee drinker, but I do like different flavors of tea! Hot or cold!  I can't wait to try this beverage this summer.  Don't you just love that pitcher?

Blueberry Sparkles Cocktail from {Will Cook for Smiles}

My grandmother has a HUGE blueberry patch and every summer we get big fresh blueberries by the bowls full!  My husband and I personally don't drink anything alcoholic, so I would use Seltzer water for this recipe, but it looks yummy!

Fresh Lime Freeze from {Eye Likes Food}

Limes are such a fun summer flavor! 

Pair them with some vanilla ice cream and you get a tasty treat!

Raspberry Strawberry Coolers from {Deliciously Organic}

Strawberries and Raspberries are a perfect fruity pair! 

Check out this healthier version of a fruity soda!

There are so many more flavorful drinks out there, but  I hope these wet your appetite and keep you smiling and happy!

Check out this fun Furniture Project from Deep in the Heart of Arkansas!
 I think she did a wonderful job on her FIRST furniture redo! They can be so intimidating!




Here are some of personal favorites from last week:

I am always amazed by these clothes refashion tutorials and this

T-shirt Ruffle Skirt from Watch Out for the Woestmans amazes me!  I just love how this fun flirty skirt is made out of a t-shirt!

Gardening is another favorite hobby of mine and I think these

Polka Dot Planters from Sip N Wear are the perfect way to dress up some boring planters and spruce up your outside living areas!

When I was little, I used to color ALL the time.  If I had any spare time... I would love to color right now! :)  I can't wait till my son gets older so we can color together.  Check out this fun tutorial for Cute Crayons From Crafting and Creativity.

I just LOVE this dress....it is made out of four bandanas!  How clever huh?!

Nail Polish Parlor

I love going to yard sales. Over this Memorial day weekend there was 46 yard sales in my area...I barely made a dent though, it was a HOT day!  I found a handful of good deals...and can't wait to go to more over the summer.  One of the good deals I found was this little shelf unit!  As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to do something fun with it!  It was cute and only 50 cents!  What else is a craft loving girl supposed to do??

After some spray paint, modge podge and some new scrapbooking paper this turned into a PERFECT birthday gift for my youngest sisters 13th birthday!  She loves all things girl...clothes, nail polish, jewelry.  This little guy made a perfect area for all her nail polish!

Here is the fun before and after!
