This Craft And Recipe Roundup is for the months of June and July. I’ve combined the two months because I have been struggling lately just to keep up with everything. I’m away from the house 11 hours a day for my full time job, then coming home with work to do around here inside and some days outside, which doesn’t leave much time left for anything else.
Being so short on time I have had to cut back on my post, I try to do what I can at work during slow times but that doesn’t always work out.
Then lately we’ve been having a roll of bad luck. You know how they say bad luck comes in 3’s? Well ours comes in 6’s, and one of those was a new hard drive for my laptop.
Tweet ThisWithout further ado let’s get back to the craft and recipe roundup.

August 10, 2016 at 9:20 amOh I’m so sorry about the run of bad luck and it’s horrible losing your hard drive. Hope they could recover something. I pinned your crockpot chicken enchilada soup a while ago and a friend of mine made it for us last week. It was delicious!!

August 11, 2016 at 7:29 amThank you Michelle! I caught it before it crashed, so text uploaded doc and pictures so I didn’t lose any of that. But I didn’t know to make a copy of notepad and a few other so I lost those so and I use notepad sometimes to save quick notes.
I’m glad you liked the soup!

August 12, 2016 at 8:45 amLinda I have to say hands down my favorite is the pig planter. That one is so cute and funny. You cannot look at it without it bringing a smile to your face. Pinning.

August 18, 2016 at 4:53 pmThe Chicken Enchilada Soup sounds delish! And I love the Pig Planter, the succulents look great in it and the pig is so gosh darn cute!
All the chocolate items get me salivating! What an end to a great roundup!

August 19, 2016 at 4:53 pmOn the Chicken Enchilada soup is Soooooo delicious! You need to try it. And my little pig planter I LOVE it. It was too cute to be used as a bathroom toilet scrub holder. Looks much better as a planter.
Are you a chocolate addict as well?

August 22, 2016 at 10:09 amSorry to hear of all your bad luck. Our summer has been a hit or miss, along with us losing our 8 day old grandson. I haven’t been up to speed on a lot of things and now that I’m back from Haven, I have even more to learn and comprehend. Some days I don’t know which end is up…LOL!
Linda @ Mixed Kreations says
August 22, 2016 at 3:58 pmThanks Carol, and I am so sorry about your loss. I can’t imagine how hard it must be, and will take a long time to get back to somewhat normal.
Oh I would love to go to a blogging convention, but not really sure it would help me. I am so shy so if I have to go around and talk to everyone that would be really hard. Did you learn a lot that you believe is going to help you take your blog to the next level?
Most of the time I don’t know which end is up, we stay so busy between work, work at home, and working on my blog. Sometimes I feel like I’m just spinning my wheels and not getting anything accomplished.
