BFF Open House Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Happy Friday Eve and Happy US Thanksgiving! However you are spending the day, I hope it's filled with peace and joy, and of course, good food!

 Thank you all for being one of my blessings! I love hosting and seeing all of the creativity shared each week. 

I will definitely not be venturing out to any Black Friday sales. Online shopping though...

And now, it's CRUNCH time! I still have so many ideas in my head and need to get this brain under control. Since I don't decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, it will be nice to get some of my projects out of the craft room and where I have them going...at least in my head!

Let's take a look at some ideas that are perfect for the season.

No doubt, if you're hosting Thanksgiving, you have some jars on hand. Steph Creates shared a wonderful way to repurpose one into a beautiful piece of Winter Decor. 

Sonata Home Design had fun with friends making some GORGEOUS Handmade Ornaments. Great to keep or give as gifts. 

Sum of Their Stories shared another beautiful ornament idea with these Scrap Fabric Tree Ornaments. Pretty and practical! 

Finally, with all of the making and decorating we're up to, don't forget to take time to treat yourself! These Caramel Pecan Brownie Donuts from Recipes Simple would definitely do the trick!

Enjoy the day! Can't wait to see what you've got to share this week.

Happy NOVEMBER and Happy Friday Eve, all! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. It only gets crazier from here, right? With American Thanksgiving and the holiday season upon us, it's my favorite time of the year. 

I don't know about you but I'm in combo meal mode, working on a few Fall projects while gearing up with Christmas projects. I just roll with it! 

This week I shared: 

DIY Christmas Card Holder 

DIY Fall Simmer Pot

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

I love the blank wood signs at Dollar Tree, and especially love what Creatively Beth did with this Harvest Dollar Tree Acorn Sign! 

Steph Creates shared a beautiful piece of Fall decor that would elevate any table with this Harvest Pumpkin Floral Centerpiece. 

Press Print Party shared a two-in-one great idea with these "Pumpkin" Place Card Holders. They double as a sweet treat for guests. Visit to see what's inside! 

Finally, if you're looking for a fun dessert for Thanksgiving, look no further than Hunny I'm Home DIY and get the scoop on these Mini Bundt Cake Pumpkins. 

Thanks so much to everyone who linked up, and as always, can't wait to see what you've been up to this week!

EEK! We're one week out from Halloween! It feels like it was just August when I started working on Halloween projects. And once we hit Nov 1, it will be a race to the finish with US Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah and and more. Take your vitamins and get your rest. We're MAKERS. We were made for this!

This week I shared a couple of fall-themed projects. I also started and finished my first Christimas project which I'll share next week. 

Dollar Tree Fall Sign

Painted and Gold Leaf Pumpkins

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

The Apple Street Cottage shared this Little Bit Spooky Vase makeover. 

There's always time to add one more thing to decor when it's a printable, and Hunny I'm Home DIY has Halloween covered with this Halloween Printable Sign. 

Whether you make your own or want to dress up store-bought cupcakes, these Halloween Skeleton Cupcake Toppers from Ann's Entitled Life will definitely give them a spooky glow-up! 

Finally, as we start to think about Thanksgiving in the US or fall celebrations elsewhere, these DIY Wood Pumpkin Placecards from Steph Creates would be a lovely addition to any table!

Thank you to everyone who linked up and can't wait to see what you've been up to this week!

Happy Friday Eve, Fall,  and last weekend of September! You know what that means, right? The PRESSURE is on! From here on out, it's a full-court press with holiday crafting, baking, cooking, EVERYTHING.

This week I shared a couple more fun and easy Halloween projects and I still have a few more I'm working on. But, I stopped in World Market the other day and instantly wanted to immerse myself in Christmas! I haven't seen Christmas stuff in Michaels yet but Dollar Tree is gearing up and saw a couple of things in Walmart. My goal is to finish Halloween decorating by next week.

Glammed Up Dollar Tree Signs

Glam Ghost Scrape Painting 

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

Happy Friday Eve, all. Happy to have a creative refuge. 

Dollar Tree is already stocking Christmas stuff,  so I'm sure everyone else will not be far behind. I think Mr. Chocolate finally gets that if you don't get things when you see them, you may never see them again. Exhibit something he almost missed out on. 

I'm definitely missing JoAnn at this time of the year :(

This week I shared:

How to Make Hot Glue Tombstones (or any other thing for which you have silicone molds)

and

Happy Accident: Salvage a Broken Dish with Resin

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

Steph Creates shared this DIY Candy Jar that would be lovely to give as a gift or to have at home. 

Press Print Party shared a fabulous Dollar Tree Ghost DIY. So cute! 

Ann's Entitled Life shared a gorgeous Fall Lantern Swag that can carry you through the season.

Finally, Hunny I'm Home DIY shared these Mini Halloween Trifles that would be perfect for any Halloween dinner, party, etc. 

Thank you to everyone who linked up, commented, pinned etc.!

BFF Open House Happy September!

Happy Friday Eve and SEPTEMBER Creative Peeps! I might just be biased about it being the best month because it's my birthday month, but also the birthday month of  besties, and my Fairy Granddaughter. 

We had the BEST getaway last week. Just wonderful. The place we stayed surprised us with a bottle of champagne and a beautiful fruit platter, then outdid themselves another night by decorating our room to celebrate our anniversary. Even the weather being iffy didn't matter. We had such a great time, and it was so nice after a chaotic year. 

Like the creatively obsessed person I am, I even got a chance to do some Dollar Tree sleuthing in another state! 

This week I shared: 

Vacay Craft Haul

Pinkoween Glam Skeleton 

So excited for the 'ber months! September, October, November, December...these are a few of my favorite things, and let's take a look at some inspiration from the last BFF Open House. 

This idea has SO many possibilities! Fresh Vintage by Lisa S. shared how to make an Altered Book Picture Frame. Best part? The pictures can be interchanged. 

Steph Creates shared a Simple DIY Autumn Floral and Bead Wreath. Perfect transition piece! 

Master Pieces of My Life shared this ingenious Chalkboard Craft Customizable Pennant Banner. You can update for each holiday! 

Finally, my caffeine addicted heart couldn't resist these Double Espresso Cake Balls from Cindy's Online Recipe Box. Of course, they also have chocolate! 

Thanks all who linked up and can't wait to see what you've been up to this week!
