BFF Open House

 


Happy Friday Eve, and how the heck is it the end of January already?! I know the month has flown by for me, given Mom's health, which continues to improve. Very thankful. Not gonna lie, I'm tired! Haven't had the energy for making anything, but priorities!

Bead and Gem Show season has officially begun in Tucson. In addition to shows in permanent venues, dozens of white tents dot the city, filled with goodies. I get to go to one of my favorite venues tomorrow which will be a nice break and a treat!

For those of you dealing with Winter on steroids, I hope you are safe and warm! 

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, here are some inspiring ideas! 


Petticoat Junktion shared this awesome DIY LOVE Letters Sign made with repurposed hardware. Pun intended, I love it! 

Sonata Home Design share this gorgeous variegated Paper Cone Heart! A perfect project to pass the time indoors. 

Building Our Hive shared a fun Valentine's/Galentine's treat idea. Pucker Up Buttercup lip balm and tags!

Finally, how stinkin' cute are these Valentine's Truffles from 3 Boys and a Dog?! Made with Golden Oreos, but any flavor would work. 

Thank you to everyone who linked up and can't wait to see what you share this week!









You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Hi Carol, thank you for hosting. Wishing you days filled with rest, and again, so happy to hear about your mother's health improving. Enjoy the bead shows as well. I often wonder why I didn't attend those when I lived there. Have a wonderful day and weekend ahead. Take care.

So glad to hear that your mother's health is improving. My mother has had health issues these past months and I know how stressful it can be. Thank you so much for featuring my Valentine heart. I hope you have a great weekend!

The bead and gem show sounds so fun. I love those special events geared to our hobbies. I go to a pen show every year b ecause I'm a little obsessed with fountain pens! ha Thanks for hosting!
