It’s Friday… and this week we’re in LOVE with pine cones!  Each week, one of our 8 co-hosts has been featuring the ideas we LOVE from that week’s theme.

We first fell in love with “Apples“ featured by Sunny Day Family. Then we fell in love with “Leaves” featured by Playground Parkbench. Next we fell in love with “Owls” featured by Crafty Kids at Home, “Pumpkins”  featured by Nemscok Farms, “Fall Décor Ideas” featured by Our Good Life, and “Halloween Ideas” featured by Gardenchick.

This link party features thematic link-ups with featured round-ups every Friday! You can link up at any time and contribute any type of family friendly post — recipe, activity, craft, home decor, etc. related to the weekly theme. Each theme will remain open permanently and new themes are added each month! You can find the weekly themes at It’s Friday We’re in Love.
