FROG FAVORITE FRIEND of the Week x2

We have 2 fabulous features this week!!!

The Warmth of Spring Table Scape

from

AND Gorgeous Butterfly Eggs

from I also featured several on the Kissed By A Frog fb page so be sure to check those out as well. Thank you to everyone that linked up the last two weeks. I know I have been absent in the blogging community but I am still here just trying to get things back in order after a rocky start to 2012. I really do look forward to and appreciate all of those that come back every week! I look forward to Thursdays every week!!HUGS~

Frogulicious Friday Feature

I am not quite organized enough to post anything about my progress with Change. I will tell you, that I have a plan for the year! (I know right!) I wrote down all of the things I would like to accomplish in 2012 and then broke them down in categories (ME, Kids, Business, & Crafts). It was soooo hard to pick and prioritize!! But I am keeping a running list of other things that I want to accomplish for next year's list. ANYWHO, after I did all that I broke everything in to months so that I have one thing to focus on for each category for each month. I am hopeful that this will help me keep on track, plus there is nothing that will last longer than a month so I won't get bored! I also think I organized everything in such a way, that it will help me grow my inventory and get me ready for bee craft season. SWEET!

Next week will be my official start date and all will be revealed...at least for the month of February. BUT I already know that 2012 is going to be an exciting year of CHANGE!

 

Every Thursday during the linky I add a little blurb (okay I just copy and paste from the previous week, which explains the exact same typos for months. HA) about my Rust-Oleum Love Project Parade Party. Have you all seen the projects linked up? OMGosh! Seriously there are some amazing projects!!!! I am so proud and thankful that you all are using my favorite paint, Rust-Oleum! If you all are using Rust-Oleum I would LOVE for you to link up your projects.  Today, I want to share a Rust-Oleum Project with you all that I saw on one of the Rust-Oleum FB pages (They have 2, Paint Ideas and Rust-Oleum). You all are gonna be BLOWN AWAY!!I saw this mural and contacted the artist here is his reply...

 

Thank you so much for your kind words about my mural! 

  I used to be a graffiti artist when i was growing up, i made works of art that were showcased in several magazines and locally acclaimed by fellow artists and newspaper publications. For years i wanted to paint a 911 Mural and i thought after 10 years it would be appropriate to give a Mural to the community and to the whole world via the internet. Asking for permission to paint something like this was not easy, i went through several dozen sources and the last person i called was kind and gracious enough to give me the space to paint the mural. The total cost of materials cost me approximately $70 worth of Spray paint. I chose Rustoleum because it never has left me dry- it is an excellent paint with a fantastic outdoor life and brilliant colors. All commercial jokes aside- many Aerosol art spray paints imported from Europe for the sole purpose of graffiti artists to use always leave me with fading paint and mixed quality- this mural in particular was important to me and i wanted to use an all American brand that would stand up to the elements. I wish more spray paint companies like Rustoleum would recognize its artists that spend their money and glorify their spraypaint.    While painting the mural, several people approached me and asked if i was from New York. I told them i was from West Palm Beach! Everyone living in this country (not just New Yorkers) were affected by 911- even small towns. The city I live in has been devoid of much culture and pubic displays of art for some time now; and it felt so good again to finally give back to the community that we could all appreciate. While i was painting it, a post man came up and took a photo and shook my hand. It is unfortunate that it was through tragedy we all stand in solidarity, but now ten years later I like to hope we are wiser and stronger as a society.
  I wrote REMEMBER 911 specifically because i wanted to REMEMEBR where we were that day and to REMEMBER it so that it never happens again. I chose black for the font to mourn for all the innocent civilians, the brave firemen and first responders, and lastly the victims of 911 all over the world. We lost our innocence that day but i hope we never lose the freedoms that makes us Americans.
Thanks again for being interested in my mural

Sincerely
Eric Goertz

And here is the Artist with a portion of the Mural...

AND HERE IS THE MURAL...

 

 

Crazy Awesome, RIGHT! ALL AMERICAN ALL THE WAY. I seriously, love that this blog has brought me together with wickedly talented people like Eric and you! I never would have thought that my best friend, aka my favorite paint, aka Rust-Oleum would have brought me to a project like this! Anyway, with the elections and everything it seems like our nations is more divided than ever. I thought it was fitting for us to take  moment to REMEMBER...to be UNITED...to pray...to think...to THANK.

HUGS~

Jenni

Have a great weekend everyone!

Frog Blog Love Linky #30

UPDATE: Just in case you missed it in the past I am sharing my Magic Trick over at ASK ANNA today. Come on over and say hello!
Well Frogulicious FRIENDS it is that time of the week again! Time to party! In an effort to simplfy my life right now at this very moment...I am just going to hop to it!! The creative mind with the most clicks last week and the FROG Favorite Friend is...

AWESOME!! I guess that this sweet little project caught everyone else's eye as well!

SWEET! Happy Yarning!!

This truly is the best part of my week and I appreciate every one of you more than you know!!!

Are you ready?

Alrighty everybuggy,

time to get our PARTY ON!!

And you know how the FROG rolls ~ No rules this week, just link up what ever you want and let's have a good time (just make sure it is your own stuff and family friendly) but please be a FROG follower.

Grab a button from my left side bar if you would like (you know to help spread the word about our party) and

please, Please, PLEASE go visit everyone else and show some FROG love. (I have so much to share with you guys I got to get organized and try to get my house back in order. Anyone wanna come help me?)

ENJOY and I will see you all MONDAY for another frogulicious week!

BTW, I added a Rust-Oleum Project Parade and Linky Party Page. So, if you have any Rust-Oleum Projects you have done or are planning on doing come on back and link them up here. OR Just hop over and see what awesomeness has been linked up.
I just added a page for everyone to LINK-UP their parties to! You can link yours here.
Plus it is NEVER too late to join the FROGulicious Movement here. (I will be getting back to this soon it was one of the projects I researched yesterday.) AND did you know that I started a REAL LIFE MOMMY MOMENTS Linky on Monday's for MAMA Monday? You can see those posts here and here.

(I know the frog is totally interactive now!)

FROGULICIOUS Friday & Features

Okay, so I am changing things up (well, at least I am giving it my best effort for sure). You may or may not have noticed that I have added a daily schedule of sorts over on my left side bar. I have so many ideas and things that I want to share but often become overwhelmed with it all. So in an effort to help me get organized and find my niche. I am giving this a whirl. I would imagine this is not the last time I change things. But it is all in an effort to help organize my thoughts, my creativity, the business side of the frog, and crafting all while trying to make sure you all have readable interesting content. Sounds easy enough right? Honestly, 2012 is going to be a year of big changes for me but we can talk about all of that later. Let's take a quick peek at the weekly line-up:
Monday - All about the MAMA (with LINKY) Hopefully, you all think this is fun as me. I like to know that life is not always perfect for everyone but me. Sometimes I need to know that I am not the only weirdo crazy out here that accidentally uses a side taper instead of a 7 blade when cutting the teenagers hair.

Tuesday- Turnaround This year is going to be all about CHANGE, trying new things, and becoming a better person inside and out. (I may have a Miss America complex. HA) We all know that I tried to get this going before the new year with my Frogulicious Movement but failed miserably. I think I just got overwhelmed with it all and caught up in the everyday hustle and bustle. I could have been sucked into the black hole vortex better known as Pinterest too but that is just between you and me. I think I have come up with a plan that will allow me to accomplish what I want with clearly defined goals and not get bored. (Which is seriously a problem for me.)  
Wednesday- What's HOPPING On Wednesdays I plan to share what has been happening with the business side of the FROGGY. I am not sure about anyone else but I am totally lost when it comes to entrepreneurship and NEED to change that.  

Thursday- LINKY PARTY The party will remain on Thursday's. It is my favorite day of the week! The only difference will be that the there will not be any features during the party they will come on Friday. I am still working on this idea and here is what I have so far...I will pick my favs for Friday and then the most clicked will still go up during the party and will still get FROG FAVORITE FRIEND. How does that sound?

Friday- FROGULICOUS w/ Features This will be the day that I post features from the party, from my own blog, or any blog or website that I have visited during the week. Really just anything that I found during the week that totally blows me out of the water.

Weekend Worthy News And then of course the weekend edition...I do not usually blog on the weekends because I want to be able to spend some time with family. However, I realized this week that I do not pay attention to current events. Like NONE OF THEM! Even when they could pertain to me. Honestly, I hate watching the news because it is depressing and scary and I do not want any part of that. BUT it is not good when there are important issues going on that could potentially effect me and I know nothing about them or their existence. Will I be sharing news every weekend? Prob not but I am going to put my best foot forward.

ALRIGHT, now on with the show. Here are the projects linked up yesterday that caught my eye.

Lady With the Red Rock Salt Dough Heart Necklace- I LOVE  this!! I had a similar idea for a charm bracelet for the Princess!

Stictly Homemade's Spiderman Birthday Party - How adorable and it kind of reminded me of our Halloween costume (which I have huge news about)! Maridith is SUPER creative. What lucky kids...mine are lucky if they get a cake.

Happy Hour Projects' Heart Shaped Yarn Basket Seriously? WHAT THE HECK? This is so amazingly cool and she provides a template for everyone! I am soooo having the kids do these this weekend! LOVE!!

Frog Blog Love Linky #17

OMGoodness! Could life just slow down for like a minute?!?
Friday, the hubb hubba and I decided to venture out with the wee little boys and take them to Costco. Something we do not normally do for various reasons. GERMS. TANTRUMS. The GEMMES. A 50lb. 3-y-o (he is tall not overweight) in and out of the cart is back breaking. To say that these outings are not fun, would be as UNDERSTATEMENT! However, this trip went surprisingly well and I am sure we will try it again. Anywho, on the way home (it is like a 15 minute drive) I got a phone call from an unknown number. Now usually, I do not answer these calls but I decided to answer this one for whatever reason. After I say my usual HELLO, I hear a little boy on the other end say this; "Is this Ethan's mom?" UMmm, yes. "Well, we have Ethan here and there has been an accident." Why The FACE? Exuse me? He continues in his little 8th grade voice; "well a bench fell on him and he cut." AGAIN Why The FACE (I of course never said that.) My response now is WHERE ARE YOU? (Ethan is supposed to be in school at cross country mind you.) AND IS THERE AN ADULT THERE? Once theadult/ccoach gets on the line guess what happened. THE PHONE WENT DEAD.
So here we are driving to the school hoping that is where Ethan might be and I am doing all that I can not to put my foot on top of my husband to make him drive FASTER, all the while getting the third degree from the hubba about what is going on like I have a clue.
So, we pull up and they won't let me go inside because he is in the loker room. When my husband finally emerges he says "Oh it is just a scratch on his ankle. We'll get him home and see how he feels."
RELIEF!! So we take him home and I head off to another appointment. When I return my little man is saying that his foot is still hurting and we decide we should have an X-ray just to be safe.
4 hours later we return home with this...

That's right he has a broken foot. AND there is nothing we can do about it until we call an ORTHO on Monday because he broke the bone smack dab in the middle of his foot. I believe they said 3rd Metatarsal. (c.w. did I spell that right?)

Poor kid was waited on hand and foot all weekend. Then first thing Monday, I call the Ortho to get an appt. and they tell me we have to wait another week. WHATTTTTT? So I say to the lady, is that safe since it is broken? Oh, and we got an appt the Tuesday afternoon. Around midnight on Monday I hear him making noise downstairs and the poor little dude is puking his brains out! OMGosh, are we all feeling sorry for him yet or what?

Well, that subsided around 3 a.m. he rested most of Tuesday. We head out to appt and 3 hours later he come home with this... 

A fancy black cast. Which he will be in for at least 6 weeks. And he has to have Xrays weekly to make sure the bone stays where it is supposed to. SO, I feel like you all know me well enough now that I can be honest and upfront with you all but I swear if there ever were a lady that deserved a BREAK

IT IS ME!!!

Now, lets party!

We had another big week last week and am loving all the new comers and all every link was awesome. SO AWESOME in fact that there was a tie this week with the most viewed link!

A FLIPPING 5 WAY TIE!

NO JOKE!

SO HERE THEY ARE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER...

Frog Favorite Friend of the Week
Ginger @

She linked up this amazing rock patio and actually I have a funny little story to tell you about this.

Last week I was feeling a little frisky and decided I should introduce myself to a few people in blog land. Well, I happened across Miss Ginger's blog and she was doing a HUGE giveaway! As I entered ALL of them I introduced myself to some of the sponsors and then Ginger. She replied to my comment and was very sweet (as I am sure you expected). As I continued on my quest to meet other blogger as I browsing a linky and came across this rock patio. Drooling (because I have dreams of doing this in my own back yard) I clicked the link and where did it take me?? Right back to Miss Ginger. I thought that was too funny. BUT it gets better. I was feeling like I had made enough "friends" for the evening especially since I just kept ending up with Ginger. I came back to my FROG BLOG LINKY PARTY and what do you think I found?

Frog Favorite Friends #3

I know that if you have ever done a Mod Podge craft then you have heard of this Frog Favorite Friend.

Amy from Mod Podge Rocks is totally awesome and I just had to share our "story" with. HA, like we have been friends for years or something.

When I started blogging, I ran across Amy's blog and on a whim I emailed her asking the most obscure questions about Mod Podge projects. Do you know what happened? That lovely lady emailed me back explaining how to complete my project. Not only once but several times and even on the weekend when I was in panic mode for a last minute Father's Day gift.

I swear this lady is SO helpful you will wish you could stick her in your pocket or maybe just text her every day with crafty questions.

But it doesn't stop there it is not that she is helpful but she SO nice! Even with some of the stupid questions I asked she never once made me feel like it was a stupid question. It was just the opposite actually. She makes you feel like you are the most important part of her day.

 You have to go and check out Amy's google profile here see all of the wonderfully crafty things she is involved in. I would highlight them all but we would be here all day. Seriously, this lady does everything!

If you have not already, go check her out, follow her on twitter, like her on facebook, JUST STALK her because you will not find another blogger like Amy and she truly is a fantastic resource!!

~HUGS to AMY and to you all for listening to me SING HER PRAISES!

Welcome to the Frog Blog Love Linky Party #4

So glad that you decided to join us!

Here are a few of my favorites from last week!

Raising 4 Princesses - This is just an amazing braid. I wish I had the patience to do this for my princess!

Today, I am sitting on our deck, enjoying the weather, and reflecting on the past month, my first month of blogging (while the kids are swinging, running, and screaming in the yard). Yes, it has been a month already. Can you believe it? I have spent spent countless hours crafting, picture taking, typing, and trying to figure out all of the ins and outs of blogging. This first month has been frustrating, aggravating, and completely satisfying, enjoyable, and rewarding!
I KNOW that this first month could and WOULD have kicked my butt booty it had not been for some of the gracious and wonderful friends I have made. My blog besties. My FROG FAVORITE FRIENDS!
Which brings us to feature #2! Please welcome, embrace, love, and support one of my new best friends here in blog land Mindie  @ Bacon Time.

Her blog boasts just about everything. She shares tutorials, crafts, recipes, menu planning, giveaways, you name it she has got it! She truly is a jack of all trades and who doesn't LOVE that pig? Well, I do.
Bacon Time at the Hungry Hungry Hypo is a great blog with a wonderful and caring author and totally worth your visit!
Plus, she host a Linky Party  every weekend Friday- Sunday here:

And an ONGOING Giveaway Linky Party here:

Mindie, has been more than helpful with all aspects of blogging and crafting. She has been super quick to respond when I have questions or comment. Mindie and I have messaged back and forth with support during those "frustrating." She truly is one of the most caring, supportive, and genuine people I have "met" in a long time. I am elated to call her my friend and share her with you!
After you Google Friend Connect (and I know you will), leave her a comment letting her know that you love her as much as I do.
Plus, you are gonna want to get updates from Mindie since she will be hosting the hottest PaRtY in 2011! (and I get to be one of the sponors!! )

 

Now, stop reading and get going!! Go, GO, GO! Share some blog love and visit Miss Mindie at Bacon Time now! I will be back tomorrow! So, see you then!
