Happy Friday Eve. Happy Easter Weekend. Happy End of March?! YIKES. I dunno about you but I absolutely HATE April Fool's Day pranks so Monday will not be my favorite day. We have enough real pranks going on! 

Anyone else dealing with allergies? Or should I ask if there's anyone NOT dealing with them? 

This week I shared the Faux Chocolate Bunny Easter Cards I made for family and friends. No calories! 

Here are some of the features from last week's party which, if you're still looking for last-minute ideas, fit the bill (or to Pin for next year)!

Dollar Tree always has these Faux Tin Tiles in stock and Fresh Vintage by Lisa S showed how to make a Faux Tin Tile Bunny! 

Another fun Dollar Tree idea came from Hunny I'm Home DIY with this Beaded Bunny Wreath! 

If you're looking to bring Spring Flowers inside (without allergens!) then Serenity You has you covered with a great roundup of Spring Paper Flower Craft Ideas. 

Finally, transform Carrott Cake into an adult beverage with this Easter Cocktail from Cindy's Online Recipe Exchange: Carrot Cake Shooters! 

Thanks to ALL who linked up and wishing everyone a wonderful weekend, whatever you're doing or celebrating!

Happy Spring Creative Peeps! I hope by now everyone who had to Spring forward is adjusted. We don't change so my biggest challenge is remembering time differences between Arizona and everywhere else. I also hope you all had a wonderful and safe St. Patrick's day without any Leprechaun pranks. 

I read about JoAnn entering bankruptcy which makes me sad so let's do our part as Creatives and support them! They said no stores will be closing. And no, I don't have any connection other than as a loyal customer who wants to see them continue! 

Time to take a look at some inspiring Spring and Easter ideas!

Steph Creates once again turns simple Dollar Tree finds into something beautiful with this Spring Bird DIY. 

The Apple Street Cottage shared this Bowl Full of Bunnies complete with pattern. 

Hunny I'm Home DIY shared another fabulous Dollar Tree project with this Mini-Bunny Basket. 

Finally, even better than store bought, Cincy Shopper shared how to make our own Peanut Butter Eggs. YUM! 

Thank you to all who linked up and shared their inspiration last week and can't wait to see what you've got this week!

Happy Friday Eve again already! Hope you've all had a good week that's flown by and let me be obnoxious by pointing out that it's exactly 11 months from today until Christmas 😂so if you made a commitment to get started early this year on Christmas gifts...

I did my first sublimation project this week! I really like the printer I got although I forget that it cycles through periodically on its own to check ink levels and can startle me. I shared my First Sublimation Project a little bag I can use for miscellaneous things when traveling. 

If you got a Circut machine for the holidays last year, you will want to attend this upcoming workshop hosted by Abbi Kirsten. She's a great teacher! Feb 5th through 9th. 

Time to take a look at some of the inspiring ideas shared at last week's party! 

If you're a Dollar Tree regular you've seen these tin tiles. Take them to another level like Artsy Va Va did here with this Faux Tin Tile Heart. 

Hunny I'm Home DIY shared this fun Rae Dunn-inspired Conversation Heart Sign, a fun addition to Valentine's Decor. 

Living in the desert, I'm a sucker for succulents. Not being much of a gardener, this Faux Succulent Centerpiece from Crazy Little Lovebirds is perfect and works for any climate! 

Finally, check out these extra-special brownies from Sonata Home Design, Symphony Brownies made with Hersey's Symphony bars. 

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

Happy Friday Eve all, and THIS IS NOT A DRILL...one week until American Thanksgiving. While never a big Black Friday shopper, it seems really anticlimactic anymore with BF sales starting before Halloween it seems. Yet somehow, I haven't even started my holiday shopping. 

Thankful. I had a lovely surprise when I linked up to Wednesday's Vintage Charm Party over at Our Hopeful Home and found my Paint Poured Pumpkins featured! 

This week I shared the Tablescape and Decor for which I made those, as well as the Thanksgiving Cards I made for family and friends. 

Before we go into full on December Holidays, let's take a look at a few ideas from last week's party honoring the season of Thankfulness. 

Steph Creates shared this Stacked Pumpkin Welcome sign.Check sales to make for next year or there's still a week! 

The Apple Street Cottage shared these Chalkboard Place Cards that will make any table more special.

Hunny I'm Home share these beutiful and FREE Thanksgiving Printables. Printables are a great way to up your decor game and impress your guests or as a hostess gift. Print, frame, done! 

With Cornucopias being such a Thanksgiving staple, add these Edible Cornucopias from 3 Winks Design to your table for some additional fun. Love the chocolate! 

Thank you to all who linked up. Wishing my US friends a calm and peaceful week ahead with all f the shopping, cleaning, cooking that precedes a holiday.

BFF Open House Two Week Party: Aug 17 and Aug 24

 

Happy Friday Eve again! I hope everyone's had a wonderful creative week. The news and pictures out of Maui continue to be heartbreaking and my thoughts remain with those who've lost family and friends and for those yet accounted for. 

It's times like this that being immersed in creativity helps, even if I haven't been the most creative this Summer.

NOTE: Since we'll be gone next week for our "Anniversarymoon" I'm setting this up as a TWO-WEEK party!  This week's link will work for next week's party. 

With that, let's take a look at what you've been up to this week! 

Must Have Mom showed how fun and easy it is to send kids back to school with Personalized Back to School goodies. Fun, cute, and helps kiddoes remember their things! 

We tend to think of teacher gifts towards the end of the school year but how about starting the year off with a Teacher Spa Gift like this great idea from Hunny I'm Home DIY? Goodies a teacher can use all year through!

You HAVE to see the before pictures of these gorgeous Dark Green Nightstands from A Ray of Sunlight. COMPLETE change of look and feel.

Like Tiramisu? Like Speculoos Cookies? How about combining the two like Foodnutters did to make these beautifully presented Tiramisu Speculoos!

Thank you to everyone who linked up and can't wait to catch up once we're back.
