Be Inspired #170

Hi Everyone,
 and Welcome to Be Inspired!

Do you have any energy left to get up and party a little after yesterday? We had a great time at my sister's house for a fun dinner and get together but I haven't been to bed before 1:00 am all week. So this week I'm sharing a few photos from the Dining Room and Entry that I hadn't had a chance to post. I grabbed a few posts for features from last week's links, so I hope you'll drop by for a visit if you haven't seen them yet.

On the Buffet


















and in the Entry










And from last week's party:

(please don't miss this beautiful blog.
 Many of you will remember Alice from a few years ago, she's back)



Amanda from One Girl in Pink
shared her beautiful Home Tour

From Anita at Far Above Rubies



from Christine at At Little Brags

Thanks Gals! 

Next week we'll do things a little different with linking up some of your favorite posts, projects, and top visited posts from this last year, or feel free to share what you've been up to this week. I know lot's of us will be cleaning up, so take this time to link up a previous post or two from 2013.


Party Guidelines




  • Please remember to turn off word verification. I've tried leaving comments that didn't go through. I'm sure others have tried also.

  • Please no direct links to Etsy or Advertising.
  • Link up to three of your current posts.
  • Take a minute to visit a few of the other links.
