Happy Wednesday!!

Well, my bags are packed for SNAP conference this week. In fact, my bags are in the back of the car right now! I am Utah-bound! My husband couldn't help but tease me. I am still not completely sure what I'm wearing, so I brought along a few (ahem) extra items. I am so excited for SNAP conference and the chance to re-connect with some old blogging friends! Stay tuned for updates later this week.

Hello my friends! Happy almost-Wednesday! What are you working on this week? At our house, we are a flurry of birthday party plans. Little Man's third birthday is about a month away, and I have been trying to nail down some plans for a Mickey Mouse birthday party. We're also enjoying our "W is for Winter" unit during these dreary winter months!

I thought we would get this party started earlier today! I'll do my best to have it ready by 6:00 PM each Tuesday night. So I hope you'll check in!

There were so many incredible ideas linked up that it sure was hard to choose!
Here are just a few (of the many!) that caught my eye...

I LOVE this ruffle flower headband from Polka Dot Bungalow! (And isn't the photography amazing?!) Stop by for a full tutorial!

No one does knockoff like my pal Bev at Flamingo Toes! Don' you love these Anthro knockoff "Love" pillows? Perfect for V-Day!

This scrap weave bracelet is so fun--and easy! Check it out at It's a Hodgepodge Life.

I adore this thumbprint tree that The Scrap Shoppe linked up! I've seen these for weddings, but what a fun family project and a great keepsake.

Uncommon recently threw a Winter Wonderland birthday party! I love this fun snowman bowling game!

As soon as I saw these snowman cake pops at Twelve Months of Fun, I knew I had to make them for our "W is for Winter" unit. She just used blue candy melts and sprinkles to create the beautiful frosty effect.

The most popular link of the party was Every Creative Endeavor's adorable sweetheart valentine banner. Congratulations, Amanda!

All right you party animals! Are you ready to go check out some links and have fun??

Well, I asked you to "wow" me, and you most definitely did!

Oh my friends. I can't begin to tell you how lovely it was to stop by and visit your blogs this week and last. I loved having the chance to check out your blogs and see what you're all about. It made my week to get to know you a little bit better. I hope you'll stop in each and every Wednesday! I am looking forward to more creative inspiration!

Today's Wowzers is brought to you by Scentsy's independent consultant, Samantha Fryer!

I am thrilled to have Scentsy/Samantha Fryer as my newest sponsor! In fact, you can e-mail Samantha at samantha.fryer27@gmail.com to inquire about your own special gift--just for Oopsey Daisy readers! Awesome, right?!

Now on to some amazing features!

Here are a few ideas linked up that really caught my eye:

These duck-tape covered boots are ah-MAZ-ing! I would never guess in a million years that they were created from duct tape. Well done, Crafting in the Rain!

Normally I don't think "easy peasy" when it comes to making a blanket. But sweet Melissa at The Polkadot Chair sure makes these monogrammed fleece blankets look easy! So, so darling!

I love these do it yourself photo pendants from GingerSnap crafts. What a sweet, personal gift!

Simple and sweet--that's what I love about these mason jars wrapped in paper doilies and bakers twine. Perfect for Valentine's Day! Great idea from Titus 2 Work in Progress.

Chili's copycat salsa from Six Sisters Stuff. I must try this. Mr. oopsey daisy is completely obsessed with Chili's salsa!

With a little salty comes something sweet! This snowflake crunch popcorn is not only beautiful but looks tasty too! Find the recipe at Sugar Bean Bakers.

As a mom of a Little Boy, I rarely look twice at girls' clothes. But this dress blew me away. I love everything about it--even the matching pinwheel bow that Pinafores & Pinwheels created. You must check this out!

The link with the most hits was Clean and Scentsible's top 10 craft projects of 2011. I featured some of these projects during the year, so I agree! Congrats Jenn!

Now on to the party! Just a reminder...
