Whew! Happy Friday Eve and how is Saturday March already?! The first signs of Spring for me are allergies and my nose and eyes are starting to feel the twitch. Hopefully it's warmed up some in colder places and you're seeing signs of Spring emerge. 

It's beeen a fun week at the Cricut Craft Fest with great projects and tips and techniques. Can't wait to play with some of the things I learned. A sure sign of Spring her in the Tucson area is the Spring Artisans Market sponsored by the Tucson Museum of Art. In a couple of weeks, we'll also have the annual Festival of Books on the UofA campus which is any book lover's dream! I love the appreciation for art and learning in this part of the state and how it honors the diverse people who live here. 

I wasn't very creative this week due to errands and appointments so looking forward to playing with some stuff I picked up while out. Still in shock that JoAnn will now be closing ALL of their stores!

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

Steph Creates Things shared a wonderful upcycle project with this pretty Metal Tea Container Redesign. 

Sunday is Dr. Seuss' Birthday and this idea from Simple Everyday Mom is a fun way to celebrate with kids! Cat in the Hat Fork Painting!

March also means Mardi Gras this year and you don't have to be in New Orleans to celebrate. Check out this fun DIY Mardi Gras Mask from Hunny I'm Home DIY!

Speaking of Mardi Gras, these King Cake Cookies from Cindy's Online Recipe Box are a perfect way to bring some of the fun home.

Thanks to all who linked up and can't wait to see what Spring goodies you've got in store! Happy Weekend Creative Peeps. Be good to yourselves.

Happy Friday Eve, Valentine's Day Eve, and Galentine's Day! Sending warm thoughts to the Chicagoland area and surrounds because our son let us know "It's FREEZING" as we remind him "You chose this!". It cooled down a bit here in the desert too but nothing like that no thank you!

This week I shared:

Bead Show Visits

Layered Rose Heart Valentine's Day Cards

Gothic Valentine's Day 

And you've all been busy prepping for Valentine's celebrations so let's take a look at some wonderful ideas! Wishing you all lots of love. Self, family, partner, kids...LOVE. Now, more than ever. 

Artsy Va Va shared this pretty Watercolor Heart Canvas that would work for Valentine's or anytime. The background makes it pop! 

Simple Everyday Mom shared these adorable Love Monsters that again are fun for V-Day but could work for anytime with these or different colors! 

Galentine's Day...the day before Valentine's Day to celebrate our girlfriends who play such important roles in our life...continues to gain traction. Rose Bakes shared this great Galentine's Charcuterie Board to celebrate! 

Finally, who wouldn't want to have a plate of CHOCOLATE WAFFLES like these from Recipes Simple? That who would be me! 

Thank you to all who linked up. Wishing you a weekend filled with love!

Happy Friday Eve All! July is chugging along and is it me or is Halloween stuff hitting stores even earlier this year? JoAnn and Michaels have tons of stuff in store and online and I just read something about Target getting theirs so I have to pop in and peek! Michaels has a great deal going on right now with 40% off all regular online prices. Ask me how I know? 😂

This week I shared some gifts I sent along with Mr. Chocolate for his dad and a friend. They live at the ocean which was the inspiration for them. Ocean Inspired Jewelry Gifts

Speaking of the ocean, Coastal Bohemian shared a great post with Ten Things to Do With Driftwood. It's Summer Beach season in so many places so take advantage of free craft supplies! 

Two loves in one. A great Printable and Coffee! From Hunny I'm Home DIY

Simple Everyday Mom shared a fun thing to do with littles and grands with this Panda Handprint Craft!

It's a S'More. It's a Cookie. It's a S'Mookie! From Recipes Simple , Peanut Butter S'Mores Cookies! 

Great ideas as always and I can't wait to see what you've got in store this week.

Happy Friday Eve, all! I hope it's been a good week for everyone. We've been under a heat advisory a bit earlier than normal so I think we're all in for a hot hot Summer. Looks like the East coastis next. Stay as cool as you can and HYDRATE!! 

To everyone celebrating Father's Day this weekend, have a happy one! I lost my dad young so it's always a day to remember him but also to celebrate the wonderful father Mr. Chocolate is. Truly, a wonderful father, teacher, adviser, and since our son is an adult, friend. Couldn't have asked for a better partner to parent with. I love you! 

Steph Creates shared another gorgeous Dollar Tree transformation. They always have these trays and she both kept it simple and made it beautiful with this Floral Painted Tray!

Simple Everyday Mom shared a fun Minion Father's Day Card. Perfect for Father's Day and the newest movie that's out soon. 

 Ann's Entitled Life shared these Hamburger Cupcakes that would be a great Father's Day dessert or perfect for any Summer gathering. 

Hunny I'm Home shared a modern twist on a classic dessert with these Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs. also great for Father's Day or Summer!

Thanks to everyone who linked up and can't wait to see what you've been up to this week! Again, wishing all celebrating, a Happy Father's Day!
