BFF Open House

 


Happy Friday Eve, all. And Happy Mother's Day Weekend to all celebrating. I also know it can be a bittersweet day for some, so please be gentle with yourselves. We've had some later-than-usual cloudy and cooler days here in the desert, but I'm about to eat those words because we're supposed to hit 100 soon, and once that happens? Triple digits for a while! 

This week, I shared the Mother's Day Cards I made and sent to special Moms in my life, along with a designer-inspired home decor post:

Tulip Mother's Day Cards:




As always, last week's party was filled with fun and inspiring ideas, so here are a few. 


Crazy Little Lovebirds shared a lovely way to use a paper towel tube in home decor with this pretty Hello Summer sign. 


Petticoat Junktion shared an incredible West Elm inspired  Sofa Table Makeover! Love this. 


My French Twist shared this lovely and hilarious DIY Pillow project using a Print on Fabric technique. And...it's reversible!


Finally, Ann's Entitled Life shared an update to a classic dessert with this Boston Cream Poke Cake

Thanks to everyone who linked up and can't wait to see what you have in store this week!

Carol, thank you for hosting and for featuring my recycled "hello summer" sign. So happy you enjoyed it. Also, wishing you a beautiful Mother's Day. I remember that Arizona weather! Yes, enjoy those lower temps while they are around. It snowed over here the other day, and today the sun came out like, "Here I am!" Lol, it was nice, but we could always use more moisture. We had a dry winter. Have a wonderful weekend ahead.

Happy Mother's Day! I posted some special chocolate cookies for Mr. Chocolate and am sure he'll share with you! I didn't realize you were in the desert and a warm weather person too! I'm north of Dallas (closer to OK border than actual Dallas) and we had our weeks of 70s-80s, then it was overcast & drizzly for about a week (warm for part of that time, but in the 50s last couple of days). I am definitely a sunshine gal and SO happy to see the sun today and temps on the rise to 80s again (with 90s not far behind). Catch y'all again next week!
