BFF Open House

 


Happy Friday Eve all! We enjoyed spending last week with our son and getting to know his neighborhood, which is FILLED with lots of wonderful local shops. Picked up a handmade ornament for my Mom, some new Christmas items, ate some great food and just enjoyed being together.

Started working on some fun additions to "the boys" Christmas tree. Father and son have had a tradition of decorating their own tree since, while they love our big main tree, it's too formal and they've had one to make more fun. But our kids grow and live on their own, and even though we were fortunate to have him be able to come for Christmas all through undergrad and grad school, it's been more reality-based the past few years between COVID and work and I finally got permission to let me play with that tree. Next week I'll share a few of the new things I'm making for it which are fun, sentimental, and easy! 

Thanks for understanding about last week's party w/out features. For some reason I wasn't able to get picture links to work from our hotel. So let's take a look at some Fall and Christmas ideas from last week's party! 


Charleston Crafted shared a DIY Pumpkin Vase using a carveable pumpkin which you should be able to pick up for a steal right now since Fall stuff is heavily discounted. Great for your own centerpiece or host/hostess gift! 

Master Pieces of My Life has a BRILLIANT Dollar Tree Hack to make this Sherpa Pumpkin! Seriously...BRILLIANT! 



Printables remain the easiest high-impact decor item and Hunny I'm Home DIY has a pair of Thankful Printables available, FREE to download. Print. Frame. Done! 


Finally, if you're working on Christmas projects, these Wood Christmas Stars from Steph Creates are a must to check out! 

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

BFF Open House

 


EEK! We're halfway to Halloween! Hopefully by the time this party opens I will have this infernal immobilizer off of my knee and can sit back at my desk and work on more than Procreate. Like so many of us, I am better at taking care of others than being sidelined myself and this not being able to get up and go is a real challenge for me. BUT, I'm ever thankful to have an attentive husband, caring Mom and friends! 

I shared another Fall Themed Printable here the theme of which is "change is beautiful" something that is often hard for me! 

OK let's take a look at some of the ideas from last week's party to consider yet for Spooky Season and Fall! 



Hunny I'm Home DIY shared this AWESOME Skull Vase made from a simple Dollar Tree skull!


Charleston Crafted shared a creative way to use Candy Corn in decor with this stunning Fall Vase.


Crazy Little Love Birds shared a wonderfully fun and GREEN craft with these Recycled Cardboard Halloween Bookmarks. Fun and functional! 


"Black Velvet" seems to be a trend this year so these Witches Brew Cupcakes from 3 Boys and a Dog are perfect! 



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

Happy Friday Eve all! Hope you've had a great week. Temps are starting to come down here in the high desert. My new normal is, Fall is under 90 degrees! Been a busy week with unexpected news last week that my Mom needed a pacemaker which she got yesterday and made it through like a champ. So that's been my week! Hope you've all had a good one!

We're definitely in "Spooky Season" mode...full swing! So let's take a look at a few ideas from last week's party! 

Charleston Crafted share this wonderfully creepy DIY Halloween Candy Bowl. Inspired by one seen at West Elm and looks like it could have come from there! 



Equally perfect for Fall is this Fall Farmhouse Wreath shared by Hunny I'm Home DIY


Crazy Little Love Birds shared this DIY Fun Halloween Art. Fun to make for yourself or as a gift. 


Finally, if you're looking for a creeptacular dessert for the Halloween season, these Blood and Glass Pudding Cups from Ann's Entitled Life are perfect! 

Thanks to all who linked up. Your creativity is inspiring and at times when life gets stressful, it helps a LOT!
