BFF Open House Link Party


Happy November everyone! Hope you had a fun and uneventful Halloween. Now that it's November time will really fly by for the rest of the year. Let's take a look at some of the great ideas shared at last week's party. 


Halloween may be over but you can still pin this idea for next year. Love this chalkboard  sign from Much More Creative


I have morphed into this person who can rarely wear a coat anymore, even in the Pacific Northwest! I get too hot inside but still need something for outside. So wraps and ponchos are perfect and Woods of Bell Trees has a great project to convert a shawl into a poncho!


Printables are such a fun and easy way to add some seasonal decor and the ladies at Lolly Jane have a really cute one they're sharing. 


We are in prime baking season ( OK when isn't it time to bake?) so these Nutella Chip Cookie Sandwiches are a must add to Fall baking. From Sweet Meets Bake Shop

OK on to this week's party!

BFF Open House Link Party


Happy Friday eve all. Up here in the PNW we are bracing for not one, but two epic storms, one of which may be record breaking. To say I am not looking forward to either of them is an understatement. Hope my fellow NW crafty peeps stay safe. 

Here are some festive ideas from last week's party to add to your Halloween plans! 


Love these Halloween numbers from Much More Creative.  I think I will have to do 25 for Christmas! 


These Halloween Lantern Lights from Lynda Creates would be a fun addition to a mantle, railing or any place you can put them up! 


Very much in love with this Magnolia Pumpkin from Lolly Jane. So elegant and easily something that can stay up through Thanksgiving! 


This week's chocolate feature is one of my favorite ( and easy ) things to make...a festive bark. i need to whip some up for my grown guy's goodie box. Check out this version from Morgan Manages Mommyhood

Now on to this week's party!

BFF Open House Link Party



Happy first day of Fall! My favorite time of the year ( Pumpkin Spice madness aside...yep I'm a hater lol). Let's see some Fall ideas from last week's party! 


I love this idea from Olives and Okra. It's a Kitchen Witch apron. Best part is it's made from a panel so it's almost all done for you! How fun would this be for Halloween entertaining? 


I've seen a couple ideas combining pumpkins and succulents. What a great way to decorate from now through Thanksgiving? Check out this one from Sugar and Succulents using a faux pumpkin. 


Perfect for hostess or neighbor gifts or for yourself, Woods of Bell Trees has a great tutorial on DIY Foaming hand soap. This time of year with germs aplenty, handwashing is KEY!


And while I may not be a pumpkin fan, I think I could be convinced to try these Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes with Nutella Buttercream Frosting shared by Amy aka My Name is Snickerdoodle over at Lolly Jane

Now, onto this week's party!

BFF Open House Link Party

The Answer Is Chocolate

Happy Friday Eve all! Apologies for oopsing on last week's party. I have a good excuse though. I got whisked away to Disneyland to celebrate our Anniversary. Had so much fun just the two of us. Not that we didn't miss Phd Boy but two kids at heart on the loose had a great time!  And we got to be there when the park was decorated for Halloween. 


Here are some highlights from the party the week before last!



Let's start with this cute crocheted wreath from Olives and Okra. Perfect for Halloween! Let the countdown begin! 


If you're still getting organized with back to school, this Lolly Jane has a great way to do it with this DIY Wood Caddy

If you're thinking ahead to holiday gifts, you could whip up batches of these glass edged coasters from Love Inspired Details


This week's chocolate features are some treats we enjoyed on our trip! Disney does not disappoint on desserts!


"Darth" Chocolate Mousse at Galactic Grill in Tomorrowland

Chocolate Chip Sundae and Dipped Cone at Gibson Girl Ice Cream on Main Street


Tigger Tails by Marceline's Confectionery


Even though not chocolate, these were the best dessert because our server Kacie at Cafe Orleans treated us to Mickey Beignets to celebrate our Anniversary!



Now, on to this week's party!

The Answer Is Chocolate

Hi all and Happy Friday Eve! Hope everyone's had a fantastic week. Let's see some features from last week's party!


Artsy VaVa shared another of her fabulous transformations. She was lucky enough to be gifted a milk can and look at the table she made with it! I am in love with the stenciling. 



I'm also in love with this pallet project from Lolly Jane. How cute is it?! 


Whether to treat yourself or someone else, how about a DIY Spa Kit? Check out the details at The Beauty Dojo.


Finally, nothing beats the simple elegance of a  perfect chocolate cake. This one was shared by Lou Lou Girls. YUM!

The Answer Is Chocolate

Happy Olympics August everyone! Hope your week has been going well and those of you dealing with crazy weather get a break soon. 

Here are some fun features from last week's party! 


The Mumster ( aka my Mom) and Mr. Chocolate LOVE maps. I mean they are borderline obsessed with them. So these crafty ( and educational)  ideas from Pat and Candy are super inspirational! 


I love coffee. Like A LOT. Probably too much. The guys at Crafty Lumberjacks do too and they even hand carved a stamp to match their moka pot!  Love the artwork they made for their coffee display and even more, that they made the stamp from something you might otherwise throw away.





We still have some Summer left or maybe you live in a temperate all year climate. A Pretty Fix has a great post on weatherproofing indoor art for outdoor use. 


Finally, Lolly Jane has a great way to get your S'more fix! Make an ice cream sandwich! 

Now on to this week's party!
