BFF Open House

 


Happy Friday Eve all and here we are at the end of the first month of a new year. Perfect timing for the start of the Lunar New Year, right? This year is the year of the snake which, if I'm being honest, I'm like Indiana Jones in my feelings about snakes but in this context where the snake is associated with intelligence, resilience, and love, I'll make an exception!

I didn't make any snake projects but here's what I did share this week:


Before we officially start "Love Month", let's take a look at some of the ideas shared at last week's party.


Crazy Little Love Birds shared how to transform a chocolate box into a Beautiful Hanging Heart


Artsy Va Va shared how to use water slide decals, Sculpey, and gilding wax to make a Canvas Heart beautiful for Valentine's or anytime! 

My Thrift Store Addiction shared her fun, retro, Vintage Tinsel Valentine's Tree


Finally, these Valentine Raspberry Sandwich Cookies from The Kitchen Is My Playground would make a perfect addition to any Valentine's table! 

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

Happy Friday Eve all. Once again I'm going to say I can't believe how fast time is flying...how did it get to be the end of the third week of January already?! It's been cold here in the desert but I am kept humble by our son who lives in "real cold" in Chicago where with the wind chill it was minus nineteen degrees with the wind chill so he's paying me back for when he'd claim something was extreme and I'd come back with a "Oh yeah, well..."

I've been having fun with Valentine's Projects and shared three this week! Starting to wonder if I shouldn't incorporate Dollar Tree into my blog title. 





Love is in the air and we are getting closer to "Love Month" and Valentine's Day. Let's take a look at some great ideas shared at last week's party! 


Crazy Little Love Birds shared a Valentine Shadow Box that's perfect for Valentine's season or anytime.

Penny's Passions shared her beautiful Valentine's Mantel. What a great way to bridge the seasons from Christmas to Valentine's!

Blue Sky At Home shared these lovely Air Dry Clay Trinket Dishes. What a great idea to make for friends for Galentine's Day! 


Sonata Home Design shared a fantastic method to achieve "Luxe for Less" with this DIY Crackle Glass technique. Give a glow up to plain glass vases with minimal supplies! 


Thanks to everyone who linked up! Stay warm and creative.

BFF Open House Happy New Year

 


Happy 2025 Creative Peeps! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah etc! Ours was sniffly but lovely.  As someone who was in tech during the Y2K preparations, it seems like a lifetime ago already that we entered the twenty-first century and now we're one quarter of the way through it. Surreal!

Mr. Chocolate blew me away with the gift of a Glowforge! I need to prepare my craft room for its place of honor. I both can't wait to play and am still in disbelief!

Wishing you all peace, health, and creativity in this New Year! Let's take  look at some things shared and to pin for next year! 


Crazy Little Love Birds shared this lovely Winter Decor Idea!

Hunny I'm Home DIY shared this brilliant idea using Dollar Tree Jenga Blocks to make trees! 

The Apple Street Cottage shared this gorgeous idea using Mini Salt and Pepper Shakers as Table Decor. 

Steph Creates shared this gorgeous Winter Wonderland using a Recycled Tea Tin! 

As always, thank you to all who linked up. I can't wait to see what brilliance you have in store in the New Year!

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. 



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

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

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!
