Welcome to the Think & Make Thursday Link Party #1

Hey Hey!!

Welcome to Think and Make Thursday!! We are hosting a BRAND NEW link party. We want this to be a place where you can share your bright ideas with us and many other MAKERS. We’d love to see all of your bright ideas for the home, including DIY projects, crafts, home improvement projects, makeovers, recipes, cleaning & homemaking tips, and kid stuff.

Think and Make Thursday will go live at 6 AM ET every Thursday for you to share what you’ve been spending your time on. Since there are 7 of us bloggers co-hosting this link party, that means you will have the chance for your links to be seen on 7 different blogs. That means lots of exposure for you and your blog! And of course, a chance to meet and mingle with a lot of other like minded friends.

Here are your hosts:

Each week all seven of us will choose a few of our favorite links and share them on our respective blogs. This gives you a chance for a lot of exposure! Of course, if you’re featured feel free to share and tell all of your friends. Grab a “My BRIGHT IDEA was featured” button and display it proudly on your side bar or link party page.

 

 

Here are your party hosts introductions. WE thought you’d like to know a little more about all of us.

Stacey is all about DIY, life, and inspiration over at her blog, Addison Meadows Lane. She loves all things house, whether it be cleaning, organizing, painting, or redecorating. Nothing makes her heart happier than having someone walk into her home and say “man, your house looks good!” She has also just opened up an awesome Etsy shop, Brutus and Andi Co., that features some of her fantastic DIY projects!

Stacey’s Bright Idea: West Elm Knock Off Floor Pouf

Tasha loves all things crafty and DIY and is the immense talent behind Designer Trapped in a Lawyer’s Body. As her blog name implies, she juggles working as a full-time attorney and blogging, in addition to caring for her twin daughters! She loves to renovate and decorate her outdated home with her husband and has a passion for budget-friendly DIYs and interior design!

Tasha’s Bright Idea: Budget Kitchen Remodel

Erica is the blogger behind Dwell Beautiful. She and her husband Nate, (along with 2 kitties) just bought their first house this past November! She showcases updates she does to her home as well as current design trends, craft tutorials, and home owner advice. She also specializes in home makeovers and tutorials for those on a budget. She’s a connoisseur of Mac and Cheese and has been to 48 of 50 states!

Erica’s Bright Idea: Gold Dipped Vintage Chair Makeover

Leigh Anne brings us amazing tutorials and inspiration through her blog, Houseologie. She thrives on making an ugly room beautiful and the process in between. DIY, thrifting, cooking, decorating — she does it all and she’s learning more every day. Her husband and three kiddos put up with all her crazy DIY ideas pretty well, even if they do give her those ‘looks’ sometimes!

Leigh Anne’s Bright Idea: Painted Swiss Cross Curtains

Carrie is the brilliance behind Kenarry: Ideas for the Home. She and her husband share ideas you’ll find useful for your home, including projects they’ve done, recipes they’ve created, products they love and other ideas to implement at home. She enjoys sharing recipes and trying new craft ideas! Carrie’s passion, though, is volunteerism and connecting people with opportunities to make a difference in their community.

Carrie’s Bright Idea: DIY Felt Birthday Banner

Sarah is the voice behind all of the happenings at Little Red Brick House. She is a homeschooling mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, and a child of God. She loves all things DIY, home decor, baking, crafting and blogging. Creativity has always been a huge part of her life and she loves making her home a place where her family can relax and feel at peace. She also has an unhealthy obsession with cheesecake!

Sarah’s Bright Idea: Fireplace Makeover

Karisa blogs expertly over at Petite Modern Life. She lives just outside of Seattle with her husband, Michael, two cats, and an Australian Shepherd pup. They are do-it-yourself enthusiasts – she’s the dreamer, he’s the strategist, and teamed up they get it done. In January 2014 they purchased their first house! The many adventures of remodeling, decorating, and inevitable redecorating are all documented on her blog!

Karisa’s Bright Idea: Simple Concrete Countertops

Now it’s your turn to share your Bright Idea for a chance to be featured at next week’s party. If your Bright Idea is featured by one of the hosts, we will also pin it to our Think and Make Thursday Pinterest Board plus you’ll be able to share this shiny button for all to see on your blog!
