Welcome to our Blog Party Sunday. The holiday crafting season is in full swing. We would love to have you show us what you have been making.

You are allowed to add 3 links to your shops and you don't have to be a selling crafter to show off your art. Even if you only craft for your own pleasure we want to see it, so don't hesitate to join in.

The rules are simple:

1. Follow our blog

2. Handmade items only.

3. You may list up to 3 items.

4. Family friendly items only.

The success of this link party depends on the participants so spread the word to your friends, visit the shops, post about it on your blog, in a forum or on your favorite social networking site, grab the button and put it on your blog or website.

Just click on the Add Your Link button below and add your items.

And if you would like to add a link to the party you can grab this button below.

Trash to Treasure ---- Dog and Cat Beds

Today I am sharing a fun idea. Turning a table into an animal bed. You can use end tables with legs or enclosed end tables.

Basically, you just turn a table upside down, paint it and add a pillow.

Or remove doors, tops, etc. from side tables.

Leave the top on and continue to use it as a table while your pet uses the bottom as a bed.
