Creative Bloggers' Party & Hop #65

How are you, my friends? Summer kicked in and school is over so I'm sure you're gearing up to execute your summer plans. From the time that my husband and I got married, we've done everything by the seat of our pants - no plans at all, only guided by the current situation and we just make do of what we have. Both of us have filed for vacation mid-July but still we have no clue where to go for a vacation. I have friends who have booked their vacations and bought their tickets months in advance, but no sir-ree! Not us, because we live by the moment. I remember that spur-of-the-moment vacation in Hawaii in 2006 or that spontaneous vacation in Palm Springs prior to that. There are pros-and-cons with our method and somehow, we always managed to pull it through and make the pros outweigh the cons. One thing I noticed is that no matter how much we plan in advance, there's always some revisions in the plan so to avoid the agonizing pain of planning and frustrations of last-minute changes, we just go for it and lead spontaneous vacations. How about you, do you plan your summer months in advance or are you just like us who live in spontaneity?

You clicked, inlinkz tallied. The readers' favorite blog post this past week, being the most viewed post, is EZ Pottery Barn Knock Off Curtains by Robin Flies South. She really did a great job creating the same look at a fraction of the price.


Our Party
To the main course of this post.
For those of you joining us for the first time, we only have 2 easy, simple rules:

1) Link up your creative post - can be a DIY project, decor, photography, crafts, recipes, poem, thrift finds, link party, or that informative syndicated post that can make us laugh, or cry - in short, whatever you're proud of! And if you like to link more creative posts, go for it! We'd love to see them :) (No links to businesses or giveaways. We have another party for these exclusively every Tuesday called Market Your Biz & Giveaways at 5 pm, PST.)

2) Follow as many blogs as you desire, either via Google Friend Connect or Linky Followers, preferably starting first with the one who linked before you and after you, before branching out, and let them know by leaving a comment. (Following me will be very much appreciated, and I definitely follow back. Just let me know you're following.)

Displaying the party button on your blog, while optional, is very much appreciated :) It will help you remember to come back and link up to the the happiest blog party on the block (ahem!). It will also help others find their way to the party which we all love because the more the merrier :)

Link opens up every Sunday at 5:00 pm, PST and ends Friday at 11:59 pm.

Burning question: Do you plan your vacation way in advance or just do it in the spur-of-the-moment?
