It’s been an exciting week here at One Artsy Mama! Saturday is my one year blogiversary, so I’m celebrating by throwing a huge party and hosting 21 different giveaways! There are chances to win everything from jewelry, purses, and accessories to ad space and even, yes, Starbucks gift cards! Thanks so much to everyone who donated such great prizes. If you haven’t entered yet, be sure to stick around and check them all out!
Speaking of giveaways, congrats to Sheila, winner of Kara’s filagree earrings.
Last week, we had 267 awesome projects and recipes linked up; here are three of the top six most viewed links plus one of my favorites. Be sure to stop by Happy Go Lucky as well as our Facebook pages to check out the other features too.
Little Green Bow linked up this simple but great idea for organizing your closet {wanna come tackle mine? Anyone? Anyone?}

How yummy and fun are these Marshmallow Peep S’mores from Lilyshop?!

And I’d love to sink my teeth into these Chocolate Mint Brownies from Mom on Timeout…hey, it looks like someone already did!
And now for a few of my favorites…first, all this food was making me hungry, so I picked this delicious pull-apart challah recipe from Stay at Home-ista. Mmmm! I love me some challah bread, and this looks absolutely scrumptious. I forwarded it to my friend Matt, who periodically makes challah from scratch, in the hopes that he’ll make me some.
And I couldn’t help but feature this aMAzing desk redo from Little House in the Big D. You have got to go see the “before” to really appreciate this beautiful “after,” and you will laugh the whole time you read Samm’s post. Loving it, loving it…

I also wanted to apologize for not getting around to commenting on all the awesome links this week; Little Crafter has been under the weather and is fighting a fever plus an awful cough and stuffy nose, so I’ve been a bit preoccupied.
Ok, now it’s your turn to shine!
Show off your fabulous creations with us and be inspired by what others have created!
