Happy Friday Eve. How is it almost the end of September already! I wish I had an answer. I know it's been "Lost Creative Summer" for me because of health challenges so I've had little choice but to watch the calendar go by. Fortunately I have been spending a little time back in my craft room. So far, just a few cards I haven't even bothered to share but working on something to share soon. Feels good to be able to play! 

Since last week's party I've celebrated one more trip around the sun and after the year I've had, don't take those trips for granted. Older, possibly wiser, still young at heart and definitely refusing to act my age!

So let's take a look at some of the ideas from last week's party! 

I love being part of a community where we get to see through other people's eyes how things come to life. This Repurposed Expandable Rack from Fresh Vintage by Lisa S into a shelf is one such brilliant idea!!

Kathleen from Our Hopeful Home can turn the simplest find into a perfect addition to home decor as she's done with this simple Wood Pickup Truck from The Dollar Tree! 

The most beautiful creative supplies can so often be found in nature. Such is the case with this simple but elegant Twig Wreath from Priyam at Simple Joys. 

Can't decide between a cookie and a brownie? Why choose and instead make these Brownie Cookies shred by CJ at Morsels of Life. 

Thanks to all who linked up. Now let's take a look at what everyone's been up to this week!

Happy Friday Eve all! It's monsoon season here in the desert so we've had muggy ( for us ) days and stormy nights with lots of lightning shows and thunder. It's a crazy Summer all around and I hope that you're all managing to stay cool and safe. 

This week I shared my Coffee Filter Flower tutorial for those of you who may not have seen and been on the lookout for it! 

Let's take a look at some of the ideas shared at last week's party! 

Popsicles scream Summer and if you need a Summer card, you can't go wrong with this idea from Linda at Paper Seedlings. Looks good enough to eat! 

It's never to early to start making Christmas Ornaments either for your own tree or as gifts. Apple Street Cottage has a simple way to do so using polymer clay and an embossing folder. Genius! 

As much as July has become "Christmas in July" month, it's also an ongoing celebration of Harry Potter in honor of Harry's birthday. This Deathly Hallows pillow from Creatively Beth is so cool ! 

Finally, what's better on a hot Summer day than some ice cream? How about Chocolate Pomegranate ice cream from Morsels of Life? Yum! 

Now let's see what everyone's been up to this week!

Happy Friday Eve Creative Peeps! Hope your week is going well. Mine got a huge boost on Tuesday when I got my blasted drain removed and confirmation that the abscess that resulted in it is fully gone. It got even better Wednesday when PhD Man arrived for a visit and to spoil me. It's such a wonderful feeling to have adult children who want to spend time with you. Thank you for your words of support and encouragement! 

Let's take a look at some of the ideas shared at last week's party. 

How cute are these bright and colorful earrings? Perfect for Summer. Made with Liquid Sculpey and shared by Beth from Creatively Beth. 

Mary Jo from Master Pieces of My Life shared her gorgeous Summer Tablescape! So many layered elements and my fave combo of rustic and elegant. 

I usually don't go thrifting with a specific item in mind but it's always helpful and inspiring to me to see what other people find to keep in the back of my mind when I go. This collection of goodies from Thrifting Wonderland is no exception! Such wonderful finds. 

"If you like Pina Coladas..." then you will love these Coconut Pineapple popsicles from Morsels of Life. I love the combination of coconut and pineapple so perfect for Summertime! 

Thanks as always to everyone who linked up and let's see what you've all been up to this week!

Happy July! Here's hoping the second half of this year is less eventful than the first half. Hope that you are all staying healthy, and if not wealthy, wise about masking, distancing, and hand washing! 

Let's see some inspiring ideas from last week's party !

If you remember the Boho Patriotic Star from Artsy VaVa from last week, you have to check out this piece she did to match it in "Red, White and Boho Part II" and you really have to check out her post to see the condition it was in and what she had to get through! 

Fourth of July and Summer are the perfect times for S'Mores. But not everyone has a campfire or can be outside to make them. Too hot here in the desert plus I'm in high danger wildfire country. The Inspired Prairie has got a fabulous roundup of 15 Ways To Make S'Mores that not only covers some indoor options but different takes on this Summer classic. I like these Chocolate Chip Cookie S'Mores but there are 14 other variations!  

There's always a need for a memo board. No matter how paperless we think we are, there are still things I need to keep handy and not on my laptop or phone. Southern Sunflowers shared a thrifty way to dress one or a couple of them up! 

Since we've all been staying home more, I've seen a renewed interest in baking, especially bread making. Here's a delicious variation shared by Morsels of Life : Chai Tea Bread. The yumminess of a Chai in bread form and topped w/ toasted coconut. Perfect to enjoy w/ a cup of Chai or other tea, or coffee or just anything! 

Now, let's see what everyone's up to this week. Have a safe and happy Fourth!
