BFF Open House

 


Happy Friday Eve, all! I hope you all had a great St. Patrick's Day if you celebrated. As for Casa Chocolate, well...the hits just keep on coming. After getting my mom back on her feet after her mini-stroke in January, guess whose turn it was to spend last weekend in the hospital? Yup! 

Lovely abdominal infection that kept me there thru Monday. Once again, I will say that Nurses are angels who walk among us! I was not built for the kind of work they do, especially dealing with some of their patients. ANGELS! 

Slowly healing. Restricted diet and rest. Yeah, I'm tired of hearing about Casa Chocolate's illnesses, too! 

Needless to say, I haven't done anything creative this week, so once again, I'm excited to live vicariously through what you share. So let's take a look at some of the features from last week's party! An unplanned roundup of some great ways to use everyday materials. 


Sonata Home Design shared a fabulous Paper Bag Art project with the dang cutest subject!!


Steph Creates Things shared another wonderful upcycle into this cute piece of Spring Decor. I especially love the little bunny! 


Petticoat Junktion shared some creative ways to add to Easter Decor, such as repurposing a light fixture, shown here. How fun! 


Finally, My French Twist shared an ingenious way to Repurpose and Reuse Egg Cartons. Pretty and practical! 

Thanks to all who linked up and can't wait to see the goodies you have to share this week!

  4. Chocolate isn't your friend when you have tummy problems ~ especially if you're eating sugar-free chocolate (then it's deadly and more than 2 act like exlax! It's the malatolin or something like that that's in there, so beware of SF chocolate!). I had a mixed drink that said "no artificial sweetener" last week, but it did have Stevia, which I'm really allergic to ~ 4 days and 5 lbs later (so back to 95 lbs & mad doctors). I wish the labels would just say "no processed sugar" ~ not "no artificial sweetener" and still use Stevia or Monkfruit! Cocaine and heroin are "natural" too, but you wouldn't expect them to be in there!! ** That's my mad gripe for the week (sorry to vent). HAPPY SPRING!

    1. OMG! I naively bought sugar free Twizzlers once b/c that's what they had. Mistake. BIG mistake!! Happy Spring to you too.
