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 Friday Eve and HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Creative Peeps! We focus this day on gratitude for what we have in our lives and among the many people and things for which I am grateful, I am grateful for the gift of creativity and creative people who share their talents at my party each week. If I didn't have a creative outlet, I don't know what I'd do. It's a kinetic energy that has to go somewhere!

I broke my own tradition and started my Christmas decorating this week before Thanksgiving. I stole some time yesterday to do a quick Thanksgiving Craft with these Decorative Candleholders. 

Whether you're hosting or visiting, wishing you a wonderful day. And from here on out...it's full speed ahead to Christmas and Hanukkah! 

Let's take a look at some great ideas for yourselves or as gifts. 

Crushed Glass Art is very popular right now and usually requires resin. The Apple Street Cottage has a wonderful project that doesn't use resin which can be challenging for people sensitive to fumes. Check out her Crushed Glass Christmas Tree tutorial! 

Gingerbread themes are everywhere and Master Pieces of My Life has a fabulous and fun project with this oversized Gingerbread Mug. Perfect to add to your decor for a little whimsy! 

Rae Dunn design remains classic and popular and these candles from Hunny I'm Home DIY are so fun and fresh! 

Sum of Their Stories was gifted old Saris by a friend. I think Saris are so beautiful...I picked up some little drawstring bags at a bead show made from old Saris and love that they can continue their life repurposed. Check out these gorgeous Christmas Ornaments made from Recycled Saris! 

Finally, Steph Creates shared a great upgrade to a Target Wood Sleigh. Fun and festive! 

Thanks to everyone who linked up and again, wishing my American friends a Happy and Joyous Thanksgiving.
