BFF Open House

 

Happy Friday Eve once again Creative Peeps! Had a WONDERFUL visit with our son, running around, seeing Deadpool Wolverine, and eating too much! We raised him to be independent and lead his own life which has taken him out of state for college, grad school, and life, and while yes, it's hard, we give them wings so they'll fly, right? We're also very thankful that he has strong roots and we remain close, seeing each other when we can, talking and texting all the time. For us, that's what the job of parenting was all about. 

I don't know about you but I'm really ready for Fall! Maybe it's because I live where it's warm and sunny most of the year. Maybe it's seeing all of the fun Fall and Halloween-themed things in stores. Or both. Probably both! I'm excited to resume working on some Halloween projects. 

Wonderful ideas shared at last week's party so let's take a look at a few ideas! 

Bluesky At Home shared these PERFECT Fall Plates easy to DIY! 

A Life Unfolding shared these gorgeous Fall Floral Pumpkins! I love the muted colors. 

Master Pieces of My Life shared these fun No Bake Dog Treats. As a dog mom, can't wait to try! 

Finally, for those of us who didn't make it to the Olympics, Rose Bakes made sure we can have a little bit of the Olympics at home with these Viral Olympics Chocolate Muffins. Gold Medal worthy! 

Thanks to all who linked up. I truly appreciate and love you coming each week and sharing your talents. Now let's see what you've been up to this week.

Happy Friday Eve, all! Hope you all had a safe and uneventful Fourth. We live in what's called a dark sky town so we didn't have any fireworks and considering how dry and fire-prone we are, that was just fine by me. Hopefully your four-legged friends weren't too affected. 

JoAnn is having some great sales right now and I couldn't resist more beads. I re-purposed a pair of earrings I decided I no longer liked and made a new pair with some of the beads I picked up! 

Silver and Grey Owl Earrings

Let's take a look at some of the fun ideas shared at last week's party! 

A Life Unfolding shared a wonderful DIY project in this Craft Cocktail Garden. Works as an herb garden for cooking if you're not a cocktail person!

Sonata Home Design shared an incredible DIY Coffee Table Ottoman. Great space saver and you'll never guess one of the "secret ingredient" supplies! 

Simple Joys shared a pretty and green project with this Recycled Magazine Page Wreath. In this tech driven world, I love seeing projects that don't require anything more than imagination, a few supplies, and easily accessible materials!

Finally, Cindy's Online Recipe Box shared these  Decadent Devils-Food Mini Cakes. Betcha can't eat just one!

Thank you all for sharing and can't wait to see what you've been up to this week!

Happy Friday Eve and Mid-September all. I still have to look at the calendar to be reminded that it's Fall here in the desert because it's 97 degrees as I write this and I'm dreaming of when I can wear boots and sweaters. 

Got the post-surgical all clear to resume whatever I feel up to including driving so I ventured out solo the other day for the first time in five weeks and of course where did I go? Dollar Tree! I was itching to see what cute Halloween stuff they had to play with and wasn't disappointed. I'm on the hunt for a Halloween tree to decorate this year and got some very cool ornaments to use when I find the right one. I'm sure by the next time I go they'll be knee deep in Christmas!

Before we get that far ahead though, let's take a look at some of the great ideas from last week's party! 

Can you ever have too many pumpkins on display this time of year? Especially Glitter Pumpkins like these from A Life of Balance? Now's the time to pick up those faux pumpkins before they're gone. 

I've seen some fashion ads featuring painted jeans and they can of course get pricey. Being DIYers though, of course our first thought is "How can I do that?" and Love My Little Cottage has got us covered with a tutorial. How cute are these? 

Look at this fabulous Coffee Table from A Life Unfolding made from...wait for it...a vintage CHICKEN CRATE! I love it. And on wheels!

 

Finally, Cindy's Online Recipe Box is back with another spectacular Fall cookie idea. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Rake Cookies that look 3D!

Now let's see what everyone's been up to this week and thanks to everyone who linked up!
