What does it mean to be Tickled Pink?
"...it's the figurative sense of the word that means 'to give pleasure or gratify'.
The tickling pink concept is of enjoyment great enough
to make the recipient glow with pleasure ."
*************************I am tickled pink because...
There is yet another b'day party in this house...
and my parents are making a surprise visit - the kids will be thrilled!
*******
For those who inquired...my chili did not win..whatever! There were some amazing recipes - 12 entries - and i do believe the hostess of the event Ms. Rook No. 17 will be posting them on her blog...I'll let you know!

Finally, the very talented Amy at Positively Splendid made my day last week. She wrote up a fabulous {if I do say so myself} post about me! Man-oh-man was I surprised and touched. If you do not know Amy you should go check her out...one creative woman!

And while on the topic of a redo, you do not want to miss Stacy's Secrets to Finding Roadside Treasure! I need this...I want o find some incredible items too. Will that mean my home will look like the Red Door Home, no, but I will be happy!

Hi all! Crazy days here...what's new!
I am visiting your links, but due to extenuating circumstance, my commenting is lagging...sorry! I know everyone is super busy right now!
Thanks for taking the time to link up!
Holly I won??? I'm so excited! I'm seriously in need of some card-making help - I was born without a scrapbooking gene I think. ;) Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to say all the yummy food looks amazing this week. I can't wait to go try out some of the recipes you've featured. Pie in a jar sounds heavenly. ;)
You are so kind to feature all of these fabulous bloggers each week Holly. I can't wait to go and visit them.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had time to do a Friday post today. The school holidays are nearly over so my kids and I have been busy spending lots of time together and having lots of fun!
Best wishes for a fabulous weekend,
Natasha.
Hey hey Holly! I'm so frustrated because that Smores bar recipe won't load. I actually had smores on the 4th in Indiana w/ hubby's family...never a disappointment!
ReplyDeleteHeather @ www.savingmoneylivinglife.com
Hi Holly,
ReplyDeleteHope all is well. Popped over to say see you,and join in your hop.
Join me monday for Mia Monday.
You are food heavy this Friday! That mug cake is UNREAL!The pie in a jar is what I'd go for, though. Not a huge chocolate nor cake fan.
ReplyDeleteHolly,
ReplyDeleteThis is fastly becoming my favorite post in all of bloggland. You find the most creative people and these are some fabulous posts! I just love to see what tickles you and others pink!
Thanks for the shout out!
I know this must take a great deal of time and effort~ So, thank you sooooo much!
You are the BEST!

Thanks for featuring the skort!

I know how much time it takes to feature blogs, yet you find time to do it all the TIME. Thank you for including my tips on NOT wasting produce with the wonderful goodies. Much appreciated and made me smile this morning. Since I'm trying to avoid anything fattening lately, I visited the design fanatic's home and loved the home, yet my favorite was all the beautiful outside landscaping!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to be linking up to this weeks party. I threw my husband a surprist 30th B-day party at a minor league ball park. It was such a great setting, and of course no party is complete without attention to details like invites, centerpieces and entertainment. Hope you can stop by for a Latte and check it out.
ReplyDeleteWow, so much to check out! I'm drawn in to the s'mores.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh..I JUST found your amazing blog and instantly signed up to follow you to the ends of the earth!!
ReplyDeleteI can just FEEL the excitement jumping off your page. Love it!!
I will be linking up...just about everything in the whole wide world TICKLES ME PINK !!
Come by to see me when you can.

Thanks for hostessing another great party! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower on bloglovin'. I really enjoyed your post on s'mores and can't wait to try the addition of peanut butter since we love the peanut butter/chocolate combo. The picture was just delish!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway, can't wait to see what the prizes are!

I also entered the Hip Weddings giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThe artwork turned pillows are ADORABLE! I love them! :)
ReplyDeleteHolly,
ReplyDeleteYou are so amazing to do this and find all the goodies for us each Friday. I'm sorry I didn't link up today.
I'm curious to check out the deodarant b/c I've been looking for something natural in that dept lately. I posted today about using organic tampons, but would like to also post about deodarant. I tried one or two kinds, but they didn't work as well as I'd hoped. grrrr.
that smores recipe looks amazing, and I'm also interested to check out your veggie friend.
your tickled pink posts always make my day!
Found you on NFF and linked up my craft! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThat pie in a jar looks SO good right now! My boring lunch would be perfect with a big glass of milk and that for dessert : )
I loved Bobbypins Boardwalk's tips to keep fruits and veggies from spoiling. I especially loved the detergent and vinegar bath everything gets when it comes home from the store.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Laura
I just kept on scrolling when I saw the coffee mug cake and the smores. Wowzer they looked good :)
ReplyDeleteLove the blogs you featured! Some are old favorites and some new. Thanks for the shout out for my tea tray, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm already enjoying myself hopping from blog to blog this week.
Guess that would make me tickled pink!
Ooh. A pie in a jar. It looks so good but I'd find a way to mess it up.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your chilli not winning, Holly. Enjoy the birthday and have a wonderful visit with your parents. Love and hugs, from me to you. :)
ReplyDeleteI love these. I've stumbled upon so many great blogs through your site :)
ReplyDeleteI am in the process of passing on an award to you :) Stop by to pick it up.
ReplyDeleteHolly, as always, a wonderful batch of links and features! Thank you for always introducing us to talented new bloggers every week!
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on getting all the recipes for the chilis from the cook-off. Yours may not have one, but it's still one of my favs! I love the fact that you use whole roasted chicken instead of ground. I'd love to have your recipe to feature!
I'm honored to have been included in your links and hope that your readers will enjoy the S'more inspired recipes!
I can't wait to check out the pie-in-a-jar! As you know, we share an affinity for baking stuff in jars!!
xoxo

Hi Holly,
ReplyDeleteWe have always rented so I've never been able to make my house a home with all the DIY's. In a way it's been nice to rent, since we have moved a few times. We could just pick up and go. But, I would love to paint these walls a color other than white.
And do you know how long it's been since I've had some S'Mores? A long time. These look absolutely delicious.
Have a great weekend my dear.<3
Holly your TP Friday's are filled with so much awesomeness it is hard to believe you can find more each week! And you do!! I have only managed to get two blogs so far...but they are awesome. What can I say!!
ReplyDeleteYou always find stacks of beautiful and inspiring things - thanks Holly! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blog...I always enjoy my stops...have a great week
ReplyDeleteThose smores are looking scrumptious!! I have never mastered the art of smores, but it's always fun to try... Love those skorts too :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOk, Red Door Home is definitely my kind of website! She has some great decorating ideas and I'm definitely in need of a few right now. We're hoping to redo our bathroom in the next month or two. I'll be looking to her blog for suggestions. Thanks for linking her up!
ReplyDeleteHolly, these are sooooo nice. The home tour & the landscape project give me the inspiration to do the projects I need to do. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTHese Tickled Pink's are always so neat. btw, I gave you an award last week and forgot to tell you, lol.
ReplyDeleteHey, what can I say? It's been a hot summer so far.

Thanks for this "no stress" party, Holly. I haven't had a chance to do much crafting this week so I appreciate your party even more!
ReplyDeleteAnd lots of great ideas like the skirt/shorts... wish I had those growing up! BIG Hug! Malia
Hi Holly. Just returned home from a few weeks vacation with the family. Thought I'd check in on you to see how you are doing. Your blog looks great and it was fun to see your linky. Hope you are having a wonderful summer. Pie in a jar?...I'm sold! Also, I'm a creative smore junky as well. See...we were separated at birth. You just got all of the creative genes. Holly:)
