BFF Open House

 


Happy second week of January Creative Peeps. I hope that the month and the year are getting off to a good start. I have several January birthdays/anniversaries so have thus far made several cards and looking forward to getting started on some Valentine's projects. I'm also super excited that late January / February brings Tucson Bead and Gem season and hope I'm less overwhelmed than last year. There are HUGE venues aound town and I'm torn between going to those I got to last year and those I didn't. 

I hope that those of you dealing with severe weather (which seems to be everywhere) are faring well. When you wake up in Souther AZ to 28 degrees...YIKES! 

You've been busy getting 2024 off to a creative start so let's take a look at some wonderful projects. 


Steph Creates transformed a metal can into a beautiful Shabby Chic Keepsake. Perfect for Valentine's / Galentine's or just because. 



House feeling bare after the holidays? Ann's Entitled Life has a beautiful Winter Pear and Floral Centerpiece that can fill the void! 


A Ray of Sunlight shared this STUNNING furniture makeover using Black Chalk Paint. LOVE!!

Big, chewy, cookies remain popular. Cindy's Online Recipe Box shows you how you can make these Dark Chocolate Espresso Chip Cookies at home! 


Thank you to everyone who linked up, first timers and regulars alike. Now let's see what you've been up to this week!

Happy Friday Eve, all and how is it time for another party already? It feels like the last one just started! Time is flying by and we have ELEVEN days left til Christmas! PLENTY of time for more Elfing, right?

This week I shared a fabulous thrifty find I turned into a Christmas Vignette:


along with an "old" canvas I repurposed into a Textured Winter Painting:


You all shared some wonderful projects last week so let's take a look at a few.





I had so much fun making my own paper bag snowflakes/stars. Imagine my great honor and surprised to be mentioned in a post by Fresh Vintage by Lisa S when she not only shared hers, but also added Book Page Snowflakes/Stars



Sonata Home Design shared a great tutorial on how to make one of my favorites: A bold Statement Ornament Wreath using pool noodles! 



Creatively Beth shared this adorable Polymer Clay Gingerbread Man that can be used for so many things from a keychain to a package topper. 


Finally, Cindy's Online Recipe Box shared these Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Cookies with Silver non-pareils. 

Thanks to all who shared and as always, can't wait to see what you've been up to this week!

Happy Friday Eve all and can you believe it's exactly TWO WEEKS until American Thanksgiving?! I can't. It is. No!

I had fun this week with a couple of projects to switch up my Thanksgiving decor. I shared Tissue Paper Covered Pumpkins and Paint Pour Pumpkins and busy finishing up my Thanksgiving Cards. This is the time of year I'm at my most creative and tend to have more ideas than time. Wouldn't it make so much sense for me to write them all down and work on them throughout the year? Yes. Do I do that? No. Am I going to try to do that for 2024...we shall see!

You all are busy makers so let's take a look at some of the great ideas shared at last week's party! 


If you're hosting and want to add some new napkin rings to your table, check out these DIY Napkin Rings from Try It Like It


Two Chicks and a Mom shared an easy-to-make Thanksgiving Banner complete with free printables! 


As always Creatively Beth has a festive craft perfect for a Thanksgiving table or as a craft to keep people entertained while the cooking's going on! How cute are these Clothespin Turkeys?


Finally, if you're looking for a new adult beverage for the season, this Caramel Apple Pie Martini from Cindy's Online Recipe Box is absolutely perfect! 

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

Bloop! It's Friday Eve again already and the week has flown by. Thought a bug was getting me but I think I out ran it. Whew. Just absolutely devastating news about Maui. We celebrate our 32nd Anniversary this month and we spent our honeymoon visiting Oahu, Maui, and Kuai, and have been back to the islands several times over the years. The Lahaina area is filled with a lot of history and was designated a National Historic District. My heart goes out to the families and friends of the 36 people we know have been lost so far. 

I hope those of you sending kids back to school are getting through that smoothly. I remember all of the forms and meetings involved.

More wonderful creativity shared at last week's party so let's take a look at a few! 




Artsy Va Va shared this great Dragonfly Wooden Canvas featuring Terra Clay Paint!


Speaking of paint, Try It Like It shared how to use Artesprix paint and shaving cream to make these colorful Coasters.


My French Twist shared how to make a pretty and practical Emergency Kit Pouch to keep those little things we need from time to time. This would also work as a cosmetics bag!


The only thing better than a hot fudge sundae is a Hot Fudge Sundae Cake! From Cindy's Online Recipe Box

Hello and Happy Friday Eve! It's been crazy weather all week with afternoon monsoon performances around me. Thunder, lightning, rain, even when the sun's out, and some beautiful sunsets. Then then next morning it's clear and dry and starts anew.

Hope you've all had  a great week. I had a moment Tuesday when I realized Christmas is in FIVE  MONTHS!

Let's\ take a look at some of the great ideas from last week's party!



I love my reusable shopping bags and  every time I look, there are more fun and pretty ones. Penny's Vintage Home has a great way to use them as Shopping Bag Wall Art



Steph Creates shared these lovely DIY Terra Cotta Pot Decorations that easily go with any decor. 


Harry Potter was a huge part of our son's childhood and if you're familiar with the "Potterverse"you know that July is Harry's Birthday month and bloggers love to celebrate. These Printable Coloring Pages from Creatively Beth are perfect! 



Finally, this Chocolate Chip Fudge Muffin Cake from Cindy's Online Recipe Box just speaks for itself! There's a sugar free version too!


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

Happy Friday Eve and Father's Day Weekend. In dispatches from the "rest home" Mr. Chocolate can walk almost normally now and I got some meds for my back and will start PT next week. Progress! 

How we're at the middle of the month already is beyond me but here we are. Let's take a look at some fun Summer ideas from last week's party! 


With the outdoor season in full swing, these Outdoor Coasters from Condo Blues are perfect for patios and balconies! 


One picture is not enough, but Master Pieces of My Life has a wonderful post filled with Outdoor Dining Tablescapes perfect for Summer. 


Summer always seems to be about bags. I think because of more outdoor outings, or camps, or ? These Japanese Knot Bags from A Rose Tinted World are just perfect! 


Finally, I love a good play on words as much as a good recipe and Cindy's Online Recipe Box has both with this Red White and Bleu Potato salad! 

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