Happy Friday Eve and Father's Day Weekend! Wishing all the Dads and Dad figures a happy one. 

Nothing to share this week...busy catching up on a few errands. I was really happy to see that Michaels will pick up some things from JoAnn!

The Michaels Companies, Inc. today announced it has successfully completed the acquisition of the intellectual property and private label brands of JOANN, including the development of the beloved Big Twist® brands as part of the Michaels portfolio.

It will be interesting to see how they incorporate them.

I was in a couple of Dollar Trees this week and there are some deals to be had in some. In one, they had metal signs that are usually in the craft aisle, 4 for $1, and another had their vinyl, also 4 for $1. So peep yours and see what's up!

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

Speaking of Dollar Tree, Steph Creates is back with a very cool Metal Sign and decal she found there and it speaks to my daily routine But First, Coffee! 

Hunny I'm Home DIY shared a template for a wonderful Personalized Father's Day Canva template. All you need to do is fill, print, frame! 

My French Twist shared how to make these FABULOUS Leather Strap Shelves. Simple and functional. 

Finally, Ann's Entitled Life shared a fun dessert that's perfect for Father's Day: Hamburger Cupcakes! 

Thanks to everyone who linked up and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday Eve once again all! I hope you've had a creative and not too chaotic week. Happy Memorial Day weekend too. Full speed ahead into Summer!

This week I shared a two-part project about something that's become one of my favorite things to do!

How to Dye Coffee Filters 

Dyed Coffee Filter Flowers

Now, let's take a look at some of the wonderful ideas shared at last week's party! 

What a happy coincidence that these beautiful Coffee Filter Flowers were shared by Fun A Day! What a great project to do on your own, with friends, with kids! 

My French Twist shared this fun and festive DIY Drop Cloth Tablecloth that's perfect for Summer entertaining. 

Within a World of My Own shared how she made Paper Bead Bracelets to coordinate with her dusky pink and orange outfit color palette. 

Finally, these Bronuts (brownie donuts) from Yummi Haus are not only a perfect chocolate feature, but they also went so perfectly with the color scheme that emerged in these features! 

Thank you all for sharing your creativity and can't wait to see what's in store this week!

Blink, and it's Friday Eve again! I hope everyone who celebrated had a wonderful Mother's Day! We did. With a Mom who's getting up there, I don't take these for granted. 

Had a chance to play with some things this week. Few things make me as happy as playing in my craft room. I get cranky when I can't create. Anyone else? 

This week I shared: 

Glam Fairy House from a Dollar Tree Fairy Cottage

Painted Llamas 

Now let's take a look at some of the inspiration shared at last week's party!

I've been really focused on incorporating reusable components in my crafting this year. Steph Creates shared how to make a BEAUIFUL Upcycled Metal Storage Tin. Who can't use more storage?

It's Graduation and Wedding season so what better gift for both of those than cash?! Cindy's Online Recipe Box shared a creative and tasty way to give that kind of gift with this Money Roses and Chocolate Pretzel Bouquet. 

My French Twist shared this incredible Macrame Hanging Herb Garden. Pretty and functional! 

Finally, and I love but haven't yet tried this trend, K'Mich's Wedding Soiree share a post filled with Focaccia Art! GORGEOUS. I want to learn! 

Thanks to everyone who linked up and as always, looking forward to this week's shares.

Happy Friday Eve again already, Creative Peeps. The week blew by quickly and not gonna lie, I'm tired after having my Mom here for a few days after her pacemaker implant last week, then getting her situated back at her place, getting groceries, follow-up appointments, etc. Whine. Whine. Whine. But when you're getting older yourself...I think it's important to be honest with ourselves and not try to be heroes. So self-care and get your rest when you can! PSA: You're no good to anyone if you're laid out yourself! 

So, other than playing around in Procreate (I'll post some more printables soon) I haven't done anything creative this week. Let's take a look at some of the fun Fall inspiration shared at last week's party!

My French Twist shared these festive Tiny Paper Pumpkins, perfect for the season. Easy to make and put everywhere! 

Steph Creates shared this fun Halloween Tabletop Decor. 

Sum of Their Stories has a BRILLIANT way to repurpose an Aran-style sweater into a bag! Perfect if you have one you no longer wear but love or to pickup when out thrifting. 

Finally, Flour on My Face shared these perfect for Fall Pumpkin Spice Cake Pops, perfect as an addition to any dessert table or as takeaway treats for guests!

Thanks to all who linked up and can't wait to see what's in store this week!

Happy Friday Eve all and THIS IS NOT A DRILL...Today marks 5 months until Christmas! You know that time only speeds up from here. Between back to school then Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah etc. A rolling stone gathers no moss unless it's needed for a craft project! 

I'm trying to get ahead of the seasons for no reason in particular other than every year I tell myself I'm going to and don't. So this week I shared some Halloween fun with these Framed Skeleton Hand Shadowboxes and will share another project next week.

But before we speed the calendar up even more, let's take a look at some of the fun projects shared at last week's party! 

Speaking of moss, Master Pieces of My Life shared a great post with ideas how to use lots of different kinds of Moss in Home Decor. It's a great way to transition between seasons and bring some natural elements inside.

My French Twist shared a modern twist on a mid-century staple with these Vintage TV Tray Makeovers. Perfect for indoors or out.

24 Hour Family shared a FREE Cricut SVG file that is perfect for Disney Fans like me. I'm permanently in my Disney era! 

Finally and after all it is still Summer, Hunny I'm Home DIY share these adorable Beach Graham Cracker Snacks that scream Summertime! 

Thanks to everyone who linked up and can't wait to see what you have to share this week! With the Olympics starting tomorrow, GO TEAM USA!
