BFF Open House

 

Happy Friday Eve All! July is chugging along and is it me or is Halloween stuff hitting stores even earlier this year? JoAnn and Michaels have tons of stuff in store and online and I just read something about Target getting theirs so I have to pop in and peek! Michaels has a great deal going on right now with 40% off all regular online prices. Ask me how I know? 😂

This week I shared some gifts I sent along with Mr. Chocolate for his dad and a friend. They live at the ocean which was the inspiration for them. Ocean Inspired Jewelry Gifts

Speaking of the ocean, Coastal Bohemian shared a great post with Ten Things to Do With Driftwood. It's Summer Beach season in so many places so take advantage of free craft supplies! 

Two loves in one. A great Printable and Coffee! From Hunny I'm Home DIY

Simple Everyday Mom shared a fun thing to do with littles and grands with this Panda Handprint Craft!

It's a S'More. It's a Cookie. It's a S'Mookie! From Recipes Simple , Peanut Butter S'Mores Cookies! 

Great ideas as always and I can't wait to see what you've got in store this week.

BFF Open House Happy New Year Edition 2022

 

Hope everyone had a peaceful and quiet New Year. Wish I could say the same. I am going to be honest and tell you I will never understand the abundance of fireworks sold here in the desert. I mean incendiary devices and dry brush...what could happen? Not to mention that it was traumatizing to the pets including our big girl who's generally unfazed by much. Yeah, I have opinions. 

I'm easing into the New Year creatively because I'm not yet able to get back to a routine but hopefully soon. I'm not someone who can create when other things and to dos are hanging over me. BUT, health and other circumstances willing...I hope 2022 is one of my most creative years ever so stay tuned! 

Let's take a look at some of the wonderful ideas shared at last week's party and again, thanks for sharing your creations here throughout 2021!

I am in LOVE with these Gumball Ornaments from Crafts A La Mode! There are still post-holiday deals to be had and picking up some clear ornaments would be a wonderful idea to make some of these for Valentine's Day. 

The house looks so naked once you take down all the Christmas decor so I'm always looking for fun ways to decorate for Winter. This Snowballs in a Jar idea from Coastal Bohemian is a great one, especially for people who live places (like me) that don't see snow! 

Artsy VaVa has got a really wonderful way to create a new House Number Sign. 

Finally, and let me say that Niky from House on Silverado knows how to spoil her husband because these King Crab Cakes she made had me wanting to crawl through the screen! I'm a bit of a crab cake fiend but since my husband is decidely NOT a a fan, I've not made them at home. A girl can dream though, right? Y U M ! 

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

Happy Friday Eve all! Can you believe American Thanksgiving is one week away?! Me either. And then Hanukkah will be upon us and before you know it Christmas and then we can all celebrate saying goodbye to 2020! 

Let's take a look at some Thanksgiving and Christmas ideas from last week's party! 

Take a look at these GORGEOUS Fallen Leaf Luminaries from Satsuma Designs! 

If you want a different take on an Advent or Countdown to Christmas calendar, Birds Party has you covered with this adorable Christmas Village Advent Calendar! The colors and style are fabulous! 

These Shabby Chic Fabric Hearts from Coastal Bohemian are wonderful as year round ornaments or to make as gifts or could easily be adapted to be Christmas themed!

Finally, this Apple Honey Crisp from Jodie Fitz would be a lovely Thanksgiving dessert and individual servings make it perfect if you're trying to distance! YUM! 

Now let's see what all of you creative people have been up to this week !
