BFF Open House Link Party

The Answer Is Chocolate

Happy Olympics August everyone! Hope your week has been going well and those of you dealing with crazy weather get a break soon. 

Here are some fun features from last week's party! 


The Mumster ( aka my Mom) and Mr. Chocolate LOVE maps. I mean they are borderline obsessed with them. So these crafty ( and educational)  ideas from Pat and Candy are super inspirational! 


I love coffee. Like A LOT. Probably too much. The guys at Crafty Lumberjacks do too and they even hand carved a stamp to match their moka pot!  Love the artwork they made for their coffee display and even more, that they made the stamp from something you might otherwise throw away.





We still have some Summer left or maybe you live in a temperate all year climate. A Pretty Fix has a great post on weatherproofing indoor art for outdoor use. 


Finally, Lolly Jane has a great way to get your S'more fix! Make an ice cream sandwich! 

Now on to this week's party!

BFF Open House Link Party

The Answer Is Chocolate

Happy Friday Eve all! Hope the week has been kind to you and you to it. Chugging along to the middle of May already and Summer will be here before we know it. We've already had some Summer like days up here in the PNW and I think we may be in for a hot one. We're not used to it! 

Let's see some ideas from last week's party: 


Loving these DIY marbled pots from A Pretty Fix. Super easy to do and the effect is wonderful. 


Linda from Paper Seedlings has been working on hand lettering and shared this piece. I love the quote and the way the letters are done.  Please note: this is her original artwork and not for use as a printable! 


I don't love scented / flavored lip balm (I just hate smelling and tasting it!) so this unscented DIY version from Woods of Bell Trees is perfect! 



Why is it that everything tastes better in a jar? These strawberry desserts from Lou Lou Girls are no exception. With Summer and picnics and outdoor dining season, these are great to store and transport. 

Now let's see what everyone's been up to this week!

BFF Open House Link Party

The Answer Is Chocolate

Happy Friday Eve all. How is it already the end of April?! Hope you've all had a good week. Here are some ideas from last week's party! 



My walls may not be filled with exclusive fine art but they are filled with pieces I've enjoyed making. If you like doing your own , A Pretty Fix has a great idea for a whitewashed abstract piece. 


These reverse Batik pillows from The Decor Guru would go well in a room with the artwork above. 


With wedding season upon us here's a great gift idea from Much More Creative. Perfect for an anniversary gift or just because. 

I think my blood sugar went up just looking at this week's chocolate feature ! Willy Wonka has come to life with this Wonka Factory Milkshake Martini from Sweet Meets Bakeshop.




Now onto this week's party!

The Answer Is Chocolate

Happy Friday Eve all. It's been "Sprummer" here in the PNW...when it's Spring but feels like Summer. 90+ in APRIL! Fortunately things have cooled down and hopefully we don't see those temps again until Summer. 

Here are some ideas from last week's party that caught my eye. 


Ever since childhood, I've been fascinated with weaving but have never pursued it. Jelica, from A Pretty Fix  has a great tutorial for a mini framed weaving with a lap loom.  I love the colors and the texture and everything about how this turned out. 


Here's another fun piece of DIY art from Artsy Va Va. I love the combination of the yardstick background and the Scrabble tiles. 



I love word games like Scrabble and I also love Crossword puzzles. How cute is this Birthday card from Lynda Creates for a word nerd in your life?  

This week's chocolate feature is almost (ALMOST) too cute to eat. From Sugar Spice and Family Life: 



Now on to this week's party!
