This week’s guest judge, Kellie (visiting from Nest of Posies), was happy to be a party attendee, too. Here is what she told us after visiting all of your links:
“I’m one of those people who are instantly drawn to party fluff. So to be asked to come and judge THIS link party was a definite thrill for me. You all are so talented and so amazing. I gained so many ideas while looking through your posts of parties and picnics. It was a pleasure to visit all your fiestas! I even feel like I gained a few pounds while looking through all the food, as well. Thanks for inviting me to the party, ladies!”Let’s take a look at Kellie’s favorites from the Parties and Picnics Challenge….

#25 Tea Party Dessert Table from Girl. Inspired.
About the overall challenge winner, Kellie said, “Everything is beautifully done. All the details, decorations, cakes, desserts, dresses, and those hats–simply gorgeous! I dug a little deeper into her blog and could not believe even the cakes were homemade. Amazing details–some thrifted for decor, but most were handmade. Just WOW!
