BFF Open House

 

Happy Friday Eve and Mother's Day Weekend to all the Moms, Grandmoms, Auntie-Moms etc. 

Thank you for the supportive comments about Mr. Chocolate and his health journey. We met with the doctors on Friday, and have an appointment scheduled with another to finalize "the plan". We are both people who can deal with things but we need a plan! 

I was wondering if I was going to get a chance to make some Mother's Day cards for family and friends this year but I got them done! 

Lots of fun and festive ideas were shared at last week's party including some that could be done if you're hosting a Mother's Day meal or bringing something. I'm going to do a simple brunch for my Mom. 

Got yarn? Maybe stocked up at a JoAnn's closing sale? Sonata Home Design shared a fun DIY Pom Pom Rug that's a perfect accent for any room. I'm always looking for things I can do while watching TV. This one works! 

Our Tiny Nest shared a fabulous idea that would make a great Mother's Day, Birthday, Friend, Teacher, You Name It, gift: Personalized DIY Tea Bags. Pick up some thrifted tea cups to make it even more special! 

Press Print Party shared these adorably punny Herb Gift Tags. Perfect to present a potted herb or collection of them as a gift. 

Finally, whether you make this for a Mom or better yet, show it to someone who can make for YOU, this Nutella French Toast Skillet Casserole from Flour on My Face is...YUM! Did I mention the Banana Cinnamon Syrup? You're welcome. 

Thanks again to all who linked up and wishing you a peaceful and wonderful weekend whatever you're doing including nothing at all!

Happy Friday Eve all. Hope everyone's had a good week. We had a big scare when our son and his dog were charged at on their evening walk by another dog that lives in his building and has been aggressive in the past. They were very lucky despite ending up at the ER and Emergency Vet and now the passing of the buck between Animal Control, the police, and the property manager. This is when it's hardest to have your adult child in another city. 

This is a PSA to not get a dog that's too big or strong for you (the case here) and get some training how to handle strong breeds.

Spring is coming although our pre-Spring weather cooled slightly this week. It was perfect last weekend and we got to go to a wonderful Artisan Market that's an annual fundraiser for the Tucson Art Museum. Here's what I shared this week including a gift for Mr. Chocolate inspired by something he found there. 

From Drawer to Serving Tray

Life Inspires Art Inspires More Art: Layered Octopus Shadowbox

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

Fresh Vintage by Lisa S shared how she used a Dollar Tree Placemat as Stencil tomae this beautiful Spring Gift Bag. 

Master Pieces of My Life shared these gorgeous Floral Easter Eggs! So pretty displayed on candlesticks. 

Press Print Party shared these adorable NO SEW Spring Gnomes. Aren't they fun?

Finally, what's more perfect for St. Patrick's Day than Guinness Cupcakes with Bailey's Frosting? From Cincy Shopper!

Thank you to everyone who linked up and I really need to see pretty things this week so can't wait to see what you've been working on! 

Don't forget to change your clocks this weekend. We don't change but I still get confused.
