Five on Friday: A Link-up!

It's my favorite day of the week - Friday! I look forward to this link-up all week long. Thanks to everyone who has been participating! It's been so fun reading your posts and "meeting" you! I've found some crazy amazing blogs through the link-up.   

So here we go...   - ONE - Remember how I said last week that I was going to get over my sewing fear and finally open up my dusty sewing machine? Well I did it! I loved it. And I may or may not have stayed up until 1 a.m. finishing my first project - a fiesta garland for our party next month.

I picked up this little folding table from Walmart for $8 so I didn't have to use my coffee table.

 More details on the fiesta banner to come post-party...

- TWO - You know those gorgeous ferns hanging from our porch {here}? Well, I killed them - and kind of on purpose. You see, this cute lil family of birds came to live in them and we didn't have the heart to bother them by shoving a watering can into their house, so we let them turn brown and crispy. I'm sure our neighbors hated us for awhile. They were such an eyesore. Anyway, the birds either had their babies and flew away, or they thought their house was so ugly that they move somewhere else. Regardless, I've been on a fern revival mission the past few weeks. I found an awesome fern pin and it's been working like a charm...

The trick: every couple of days submerge your ferns in a large bucket filled with 1/2 cup of epsom salts and 3 gallons of water until the soil stops bubbling. Then hang up to drip dry.

- THREE - Angel Food Bundt Cake with chocolate and butterscotch chips. Yep, this happened this week! It's not the prettiest cake I've made but it sure is delicious. Next time I think I'll throw the chips in half way through the baking process so they don't immediately sink to the bottom {top}.

- FOUR - A little "Welcome Gift" for my newest coworker's first day!

Nail polish, EOS chapstick, my favorite Sharpie pens & gum - all in a cute mason jar tumbler.

- FIVE -  We are camping in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains this weekend! One of my top 5 favorite things to do {and the reason why I moved to NC}, I am hoping the rain holds up for us.

S'more granola, campfire, stars, fresh air and lots of happy trees? YES - take me there now!

Our snacks are packed and ready to go!

S’more Granola: granola, mini marshmallows & dark chocolate M&Ms!
