Feature Friday: Bowdabra Top Crafty Showcase Picks

Are you keeping cool this summer? We hope that you are having fun and finding time to do a few crafts for yourself and your kids! Our Crafty Showcase has been full of fun ideas for all ages! Last week we had 83 links for our Saturday Showcase!  Thank you for linking up and visiting those who link up!

We love Friday because we get to share our top picks from last week’s Saturday Showcase links.  Each week, our Bowdabra Design team will pick our favorites and feature them here on our Bowdabra blog, Bowdabra Pinterest, Sandy Sandler Pinterest, Bowdabra Twitter, and Bowdabra Facebook sites! It is NOT an easy task in picking our favorites. We appreciate all of you for linking up and we love visiting all of your blogs, too!
