Happy Friday Eve all, and I hope the first week of March has treated you well! I can't believe St. Patricks is in less than 10 days and Easter is at the end of the month, then we'll already be in April! This is the time of year we're all supposed to be getting an early start on holiday gift making right? At least that's what I tell  myself in October/November about the coming year. Anyone else?

This week I shared a fun impromptu gift I made for Mr. Chocolate combining his love of Disney and trains: Layered Disney Inspired Train

Now, let's take a look at some of the great ideas shared at last week's party! 

The Apple Street Cottage shared this VERY cute St. Patrick's Day Idea perfect for school, office, neighbors!

Master Pieces of My Life shared an elegant way to add some St. Patrick's Decor without breaking the bank by using a thrifted frame! 

Nothing says Welcome Spring like pretty flowers. Blue Sky At Home has a beautiful idea with this Garden Style Spring Wreath! 

Finally, Rose Bakes shared these wonderful St. Patrick's Cake Pops which would be a fun way to celebrate. 

Thanks to everyone who linked up and for understanding about features last week. Can't wait to see what you've been up to this week!

Happy August and Happy Friday Eve all. Hopefully August will be cooler than July. I'm afraid to say that it can't get hotter because...

Once September hits, it's full steam ahead with holiday crafting. This is my favorite time of year with Halloween, Fall, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah crafts and projects. 

But before we make that leap, let's take a look at some of the wonderful projects shared last week!

With back-to-school season upon us, this Painted Teacher's Chair from The House on Silverado is a fabulous idea for that special teacher. 

If you don't have hydrangeas, there's an easy remedy! Simple Joys shared how to make beautiful Paper Hydrangeas! 

If you do want to get a jump start on Holiday Crafting whether for home, gifts, or fairs, Blue Sky at Home has you covered with this Jeweled Ornament tutorial! 

Finally, whether to beat the heat or just because YUM, this No Churn Swiss Roll Ice Cream from The Kitchen is My Playground is a must! 

Thank you to EVERYONE who linked up and can't wait to see what you've been up to this week!

Hello and Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve! Seen any Leprechauns about?  I wish everyone good luck in finding a pot of gold! I also want thank whoever created Allegra aka fexofenadine because having been put on it almost a week ago has been my personal pot of gold! You never realize how ick you've felt until you feel better, ya know?

May even venture out to a handmade market this weekend! Let's take a look at some of the ideas from last week's party, first!

With Easter on the horizon, now's the time to start making some beautiful eggs like these Decoupaged Eggs from Blue Sk At Home. So pretty! 

Here's another gorgeous take on eggs...Stamped Clay! Shared by Saved From Salvage. 

What Easter meal wouldn't be made even better with this Black Pepper Foccacia from Foodnutters? 

Finally, Mr. Chocolate keeps going on about a "green thing" an Aunt of his made for family gatherings that was not nearly as pretty or elegant as this Pistachio Lush Dessert from The Kitchen Is My Playground. This might serve in its place! 

Thank you to everyone who linked up and let's see what you've been up to this week!

Happy Friday Eve Creative Peeps! Can you believe Thanksgiving (American) is one week from today? You know what happens after that. It's full steam ahead for Christmas and Hanukkah. I'm almost done with this year's Christmas cards since for the first time in thirty years, I won't be hosting Thanksgiving. We're actually going away which will be completely different yet exciting for us. I loved doing it and with my Martha Stewart compulsions, always did it big, but last year when it was just the two of us for the first time...my mom was visiting her sister, we didn't have any other family to host since moving to AZ etc. I realized by not doing all the work how much work it really always was. No complaints! I loved all the years I did it but life is about trying something new and I'm actually really excited about it. This week I shared the Thanksgiving Cards I made and sent to family and friends. 

Let's take a look at some of the great things shared at last week's party! 

If this is your first time hosting or you would like to be better organized, then Blue Sky At Home has the perfect thing for you with 21 Ways to Prepare.

Whether your guests are young, older, or everywhere in between, this printable Thankful Tree from Creatively Beth is a great way to entertain them and make a memory. 

As we get close to counting down to Christmas, I LOVE this Advent Calendar for Couples from The House on Silverado. 

Finally, while we're still on Thanksgiving, if you want to add a little something to your dessert table (and I'm all for adding chocolate to Thanksgiving which is the most chocolate free celebration) or bring a dessert where you're going, check out these Nutter Butter Acorns from Drugstore Divas! 

Thanks to everyone who linked up and let's see what you've been up to this week!
