BFF Open House

 

Happy end of the first week of DECEMBER and Friday Eve! I hope my US friends had a nice Thanksgiving and we're running like a snowball downhill towards the finish line! 

This week I remade an old sign which inspired a new tray and shared some Christmas/Winter themed printables. 

Refreshed Hot Cocoa Sign

Holiday Printables 

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

Crazy Little Lovebirds shared this beautiful Faux Arched Winter Window. I get in trouble every time you link up a Dollar Tree item I haven't come across yet. Keep them coming!  

Steph Creates shared this adorable Framed Camper Ornament Shadow Box! 

Try It Like It Create It shared a modern take on a retro craft with this Festive Ball Decor Project. Perfect for New Year's Too! 

Finally, these Sacher Torte Cookies are perfect for Christmas or Hanukkah! From Cindy's Online Recipe Box.

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!

Happy Friday Eve All! Thanks for understanding that there were no features at last week's party. We had the BEST little local getaway at the Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain Resort in Marana, AZ! SPOILED! 

It's full speed ahead to Halloween and Fall decorating season and pretty sure when I run some errands, there will be Christmas stuff in stores. I saw some a few weeks ago at Dollar Tree! 

Let's take a look at some of the wonderful ideas shared at last week's party. 

Steph Creates shared this faBOOlous Mini Cauldron idea. Whip up several! 

Crazy Little Love Birds shared these festive Air Dry Clay Placecards! 

Master Pieces of My Life shared a great tutorial on how to DIY Wedgewood Jasperware.

Finally, I know it's pumpkin spice season for all you PS lovers but for me, Fall is apple season! And this Apple Butter Caramel Toffee Strudel from Cindy's Online Recipe Box looks amazing! 

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

Happy Friday Eve again already because where did this week go and what did I get done besides not much?! Not because I was busy with something but because I have no clue where this week went. 

I do have another workshop I signed up for that I'm excited about and thought I'd share. With the holidays approaching and peak gift giving time, if you have a Cricut you underuse or have been thinking about getting one, here's a wonderful opportunity to learn more. I have no connection to this other than I've taken previous workshops hosted by Abbi and they're always fantastic! 

SEPTEMBER 23rd - 27th

Sign up for FREE here

It will include "50+ inspiring handmade Cricut gift projects, card, bow, and wrapping workshops for all skill levels"

I did share my DIY Haunted House, made with two Dollar Tree signs and a wood base from DT. 

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

Crazy Little Lovebirds shared a wonderful way to welcome Fall with this Thankful Sign. 

The Apple Street Cottage shared this gorgeous Wine Bottle Windchime! Speaking of gift giving season, make a few of these! 

Hunny I'm Home DIY shared these Rae Dunn-inspired Farmhouse Pumpkins.

Thanks to everyone who linked up and wishing everyone a Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Happy August! July flew by like all the months seem to do and this month already marks back to school for many. Those stores that don't already have Halloween on display no doubt will soon. JoAnn and Michaels definitely do and Dollar Tree is starting. 

I shared another July-O-Ween project this week: Stacked Poison Boxes (because I couldn't come up with a more creative title for a project that just kind of fell together!) and some of you are working on Christmas! 

Let's take a look at some features from last week's party!

Crazy Little Love Birds shared one of my favorite kinds of projects with these Metal Can Floral Holders. A green craft in every sense of the word! 

Sonata Home Design shared a wonderful garden craft in this DIY Concrete Cement Planter.

I told you that some Makers have started on Christmas and Master Pieces of My Life is one of them! Check out these Elegantly Rustic Outdoor Ornaments. You could even make your own cement planter to put them in!

Finally, one thing I haven't tried in my Instant Pot is baking. Fat Dad Foodie may just change that because look at this Instant Pot Chocolate Layered Cake! YUM!

Thank you to all who linked up and can't wait to see what's in store this week!

BFF Open House. On Time and With Features!

 

Happy Friday Eve all, and Happy Mother's Day Weekend to all celebrating. I hope you've all had a wonderful week. My mom is doing great and so very happy to be home. 

I'm determined this year, to start holiday crafting as early as I plan to start holiday crafting each year so don't be surprised if you see some out of season things early because in order not to forget and post them DURING the season, I'm going to try and do them as I make them. 

Let's see some of the fun inspiration from last week's party. Thank you for all of the support and kind comments last week! 

Crazy Little Lovebirds shared these pretty and practical DIY Mushroom Pin Cushions made from recycled jars! 

Steph Creates has yet another amazing creation from simple materials with this DIY Spring Wood Riser. 

Hunny I'm Home has a FUN collection of Farmouse Kitchen Printables you need to check out. 

Finally, Cindy's Online Recipe Box shared these decadent Butterscotch Swirl Brownie Cookie Bars. Enough said! 

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