Happy All Hallows Eve, Eve! It feels like it was just August when I started working on Halloween projects and all of a sudden the day is here! Whenever Halloween is on a Friday, that usually means even more weekend fun. I wish everyone a happy and safe Hallow-weekend. 

In my neck of the woods, the weekend will be filled with Halloween and three days of Dia de los Muertos festivities everywhere. 

As the Makers we are, of course I'm a season ahead when it comes to my craft room. This week I shared: 

Winter Wonderland Cigar Box Diorama

Repurposed Bottle Snow People

But before we fast forward, let's take a look at some of the great Fall ideas shared at last week's party! 

Petticoat Junction (grew up watching reruns of that fun show!) shared how she turned a find from a junk shop into a fabulous Metallic Tiered Tray, perfect to change out seasonally. 

Outside it may still be in the 90s by me, but inside, it's sweater weather! Sonata Home Design has a great way to repurpose an old one to make a Cozy Candle Wrap! 

Need a quick and easy Halloween treat there's still time to whip up? Drugstore Divas has you covered with these adorable Halloween Glow Stick Party Favors. 

Finally, there's always time for one more Halloween treat, and these Cookie Cutter Spider Cookies from Crystal and Co. are perfect! 

Thanks to everyone who linked up! 

Again, wishing everyone a

Happy Friday Eve all. How we're already halfway through January, I don't know! For everyone continuing to be snowed in and/or frozen, I hope you're staying warm and safe. 

This week, I unboxed my new Brother sublimation printer and got it all set up and ordered some sublimation blanks I hope to play with this weekend. Maybe an "elder moment" or just a tech ignorance moment, but took me a minute to figure out that I can't use the Artspira app that works with the Brother printer on my Windows laptop since you can't download from the Google Play store. At least I already knew you can't use the Apple App Store! No biggie since I will be using things I create in Procreate on my iPad which works great with Artspira. FYI...

You've been off to a busy start to the year so let's take a look at some great ideas!

You've made or chosen a gift. Wrapping it should be as special as what's inside and Crazy Little Lovebirds has some Creative Pretty Giftwrap Ideas! 

Perfect for snow days with littles, Fun a Day shared these great Day and Night Canvases. 

Creatively Beth shared another fun project, a Dollar Tree Pixel Heart! 

Finally, since not even I can live on chocolate alone (sigh) and I've been in love with Spanakopita from the first bite I took at a Greek Festival in college, these Puff Pastry Spanokopita Bites from Drug Store Divas are a must try! Phyllo dough is the usual pastry but it's very temperamental to work with! YUM. 

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

Yikes! Eeek! We're halfway through October already. For me, the time just speeds up now. I've been busy attending some craft summits and signing up for more and realize I should be sharing those! The next one I'll be on the lookout to sign up for will be done by Craft With Sarah who is still doing a daily Halloween SVG freebie for Halloween projects. She just announced today that she'll have a Holiday one starting in November so if this is something you think you'd be interested in, get on her mailing list now. 

Last week was another great week of inspiration with projects and recipes "to die for" mwaaahhhh.

Let's take a look at a few. 

With the popularity of Disney's Hocus Pocus 2, it's been fun seeing all the creative ways people are celebrating the movie. Penny's Treasures is no exception with her Bad Apple Brewery vignette! 

My French Twist shared this clean and modern take on a Fall staple, dried wheat, with these Color Wrapped Wheat stalks. I love the simplicity and modern Fall color palette. 

Coffee, specifically "Iced Venti Nonfat No Whip Mochas" are my love language! If you have a coffee lover in your life, why not whip up a fun gift like these Wood Coffee Blocks from Drug Store Divas?

Finally, this Apple Pear Fall Sangria from Our Tiny Nest is a wonderfully fresh taste on a classic drink. What a great Fall dinner party drink and I think it could easily be adapted as non-alcoholic.

Thank you as always to everyone who linked up. I do look at all of them! 

Now time to see what everyone's been "brewing up" this week!
