Happy Friday Eve, and mid-October, Creative Peeps! I hope you've had a good week, and if you've been in the path of hurricanes, you're safe and dry. Temps continue to cool down in the desert. As I mentioned last week, this is when our market season really takes off, and there are too many to choose from! I love it because that means that there is that much creativity out there, and the world needs it! Dia de los Muertos is celebrated widely here in Southern Arizona with many events. 

So this week, I shared: 

DIY Sugar Skull 

Currently working on another one for reasons explained in the post! 

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

Crazy Little Lovebirds shared these adorable Mini Halloween Chalkboards. These would be great for classmates, friends, as gift tags for Boo Baskets, or so many possibilities! 

Petticoat Junktion shared this AMAZING Natural Fall Wreath that can last all season. Rustic, simple, beautiful. 

Got cardboard? And who doesn't, from shipping boxes?! Bluesky At Home has a BEAUTIFUL way to transform it into Faux Ceramic Tiles. 

Finally, a fun treat for dessert tables, goodie bags, parties. Oreo Spiders from Rose Bakes! 

Thanks to all who shared, and let's see what you've been up to this week!

Happy Friday Eve, all. This week's been much better than last week at Casa Chocolate, thankfully! Hope it's been a good one for you. I can't believe that Easter is about a week away, and Passover starts April 1. Time just continues to speed up!

I managed to squeeze out one more Easter craft this week. Twine carrots! 

And you all shared some fun Spring and Easter projects last week, so here are  just a few. 

Nothing screams Spring like a bright shot of color, and Petticoat Junktion has exactly that with this bright yellow Chair Makeover. 

Studio27 by Jennifer Adams shared an idea I'd never have thought of: using Thrifted Greens outdoors! Yes, outdoor faux greenery mixed in among the real stuff. 

Crazy Little Lovebirds shared yet another creative way to use Paint Sample Cards by turning them into bookmarks! Perfect to share with a book club, Mother's Day is coming, just because...

Finally, how stinkin' cute are these Bunny Butt Oreos! From Hunny I'm Home DIY.

Thanks to everyone who linked up. Enjoy your weekend!

She's baaaack! Happy Friday Eve all. We had a WONDERFUL getaway to the House of Mouse last week. Yes, we are Disney Adults, which some people hate, but too bad! We went from worrying about rain the first part of the week and watching the weather before we left, to it being unseasonably HOT on the last day, which worked out great, since that was the day I agreed to get wet on Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Trust me, if you don't enjoy being wet walking around, plenty of people (including us!) bring ponchos. So many, in fact, that they have dedicated poncho recycling bins! Being short has its benefits since I could tuck in behind my very tall husband!

One thing I love about visiting is seeing Animators in Action and the talent of the people who use paint pens to customize ornaments and now ears! They sell plain faux-leather ears in solid black and white that you can have customized. Likewise, you can get ornaments done. 

Thanks for holding down the party and now let's take a look at some great ideas that were shared. 

With St. Patrick's Day approaching, Master Pieces of My Life has a fabulous post on how to incorporate holiday touches into home decor.

Crazy Little Lovebirds shared this lovely Easy Faux Floral Centerpiece, perfect for Spring! 

Petticoat Junktion shared a pretty and practical idea: How to Paint a Wood Mirror with Knobs for Necklaces!

Finally, these Rainbow Party Chocolate Cupcakes from Ann's Entitled Life are PERFECT for celebrating St. Patrick's Day or anytime! 

Thank you ALL for linking up and sharing your creations. Can't wait to see what you've been up to!

Happy Friday Eve all! I hope everyone who celebrated had a very Happy Easter. Ours was blissfully quiet and low-key. I can't believe we're nearing the end of April already! I feel like I blinked and missed a whole month. 

I was fortunate to celebrate The Mumster's 85th birthday this week! When you have an aging parent, you appreciate every milestone even more. Especially when this time last year, she was in the hospital after a very bad fall which ultimately led to her having to have a pacemaker implanted.. So what a difference a year makes and we are thankful that she's still here to celebrate. Of course I had to make her a special card!

She loves all shades of purple and gold his her signature metallic.

We're moving full speed ahead into Mother's Day and graduation season so let's take a look at some fun ideas from last week's party! 

 

Bluesky At Home shared how to transform plain garden containers into On Trend Planters using just a little creativity and vinyl.  These would make a great gift too!

Crazy Little Lovebirds shared this Super Easy Dollar Tree Flower Display. They've gotten so many cute bottles and containers lately. 

 

Steph Creates Things shared this beautiful Home Door Sign. Simple but impactful! 

Got leftover candy? Check out this great idea from 3 Boys and A Dog: Crockpot Cake with Cadbury Eggs. 

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

Happy Friday Eve, all. Hope everyone's had a good week. Finally had a couple of days where I got to switch to my Fall attire of Halloween leggings because it cooled off enough. It's the little things, right? It's also holiday full steam ahead time. I was able to get my house "haunted" so now I can work on Halloween cards for friends and family. 

Lots of great Halloween inspiration at last week's party so let's take a look at some!

My Halloween tastes continue to get creepier so these DIY Halloween Oddities Jars from Studio 27 are right up my creepy alley! 

Those jars would fit right in with this Bone Apetit Tablescape from Master Pieces of  My Life! 

I'm always in on a good Dollar Store Makeover and this Mirror Upgrade from Crazy Little Lovebirds. Perfect for a gothic Halloween, everyday decor, or both, is perfect!

Finally, it's both Pumpkin Spice and Hot Chocolate season so why not combine them into one? That's what Our Tiny Nest did as well as shared ideas for a Hocus Pocus party! 

Thank you to all who linked up and can't wait to see what creative mischief you've gotten up to this week!
