Great carnival! Awesome job hosting - stumbled!
Should really have remembered to submit this week...grrrr.
Good job Liss!!! I'll try remember next week.
These are great submissions... I am going to check out that lime bar, which indeed look scrumptious, the scrapbooking organization system, as my desk is ** again ** a mess, and like the fish necklace idea, and hopefully she'll show us how to make that centerpiece as well...
thank you too for submitting my posts... I am having loads of fun with the BEACH THEME projects around the house, and slowly but surely, life is becoming that beach... ;-0)
Happy summer living...

Wow so many wonderful posts for the Make It From Scratch Carnival. I love the layout you used and a fantastic job hosting. It's always so fun to see new hosts and how they share the weekly carnival. Thank you for hosting and including my recycled bag lining project.
Thanks for hosting, I can't wait to check it all out! Ditto on the layout, looks great and easy to read :)
Great carnival this week!!!! Recipes are awesome, and perfect for the party I'm planning when my job comes to an end: the Great "Canning Day" Party. I'm gunna can a bunch of special things for my friends and ask everyone to bring a donation to the food bank.
That cabbage...perfect... I'll bet that chocolate syrup would be nice in a pretty little jar, too... So many really good and interesting posts!
And maybe after I'm canned I can move to the bush in New Zealand and live happily ever after on lobster and garden veggies. :-)
LOVE this post! I'm a Naturi Beauty Concepts fan myself, and that aloe recipe is a must-use!!
This Carnival is great. I am absolutely in love with all of these great, green ideas. Thanks for bringing all of this together!
