BFF Open House

 


Happy Friday Eve all! Things are starting to warm up here in the desert, at least during the day. Nights are still very cold which I have to remind Mr. Chocolate as he turns the thermostat way down during the day but it stays that way overnight and when I wake up with the chickens the next morning I do my Jack Nicholson from The Shining impression waiting for the heat to kick in!


Bead and Gem Show season is in full swing and it's so overwhelming! Seriously, every bead and gem producer is here this week! 

This week I shared:

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


Steph Creates Things shared this sweet Floral Hoop Centerpiece, perfect for Valentine's or Spring!


The Apple Street Cottage showed us how to repurpose a tea towel into this festive Valentine's Heart Wreath. 


Creatively Beth shared this beautiful and bold Dollar Tree  Buffalo Plaid Heart Sign

And finally, how cute are these Nutter Butter Heart Cookies from Drugstore Divas?! 


Thanks to all who linked up and can't wait to see the creativity in store this week. Happy Weekend Creative Peeps!

Greetings all. Sending out thoughts for Southern California as it battles with the current fires. For any Creative Peeps in the affected areas, I hope you and yours have gotten to safety. 

With all the scary things going on, I'm thankful to channel some energy into making things. It won't solve the world's problems I know, but can putting some pretty out in the world ever be a bad thing?

On that note, let's take a look at some of the pretty shared at last week's party. 


Steph Creates Things shared a perfect project for this time of year when we all try to get organized: A DIY Organizer using things from Dollar Tree that's both pretty and practical. 


Selep Imaging shared the stunning Fused Glass Christmas Trees they made after only learning this art in 2024! If you need inspiration to take a class, here you go. 


A Ray of Sunlight shared a fabulous furniture makeover: White Farmhouse Tables With Grey Tops. Gorgeous


New Year. Same Chocoholic and these Triple Dark Chocolate Sweet Rolls are calling my name! From Cindy's Online Recipe Box.

Thanks to all who linked up and looking forward to what you have to share this week. Be well!

BFF Open House Happy New Year

 


Happy 2025 Creative Peeps! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah etc! Ours was sniffly but lovely.  As someone who was in tech during the Y2K preparations, it seems like a lifetime ago already that we entered the twenty-first century and now we're one quarter of the way through it. Surreal!

Mr. Chocolate blew me away with the gift of a Glowforge! I need to prepare my craft room for its place of honor. I both can't wait to play and am still in disbelief!

Wishing you all peace, health, and creativity in this New Year! Let's take  look at some things shared and to pin for next year! 


Crazy Little Love Birds shared this lovely Winter Decor Idea!

Hunny I'm Home DIY shared this brilliant idea using Dollar Tree Jenga Blocks to make trees! 

The Apple Street Cottage shared this gorgeous idea using Mini Salt and Pepper Shakers as Table Decor. 

Steph Creates shared this gorgeous Winter Wonderland using a Recycled Tea Tin! 

As always, thank you to all who linked up. I can't wait to see what brilliance you have in store in the New Year!

Happy Friday Eve from The House of Mouse! We took our holiday sleigh to Disneyland for some Christmas fun this week. Seriously, I'm not sure we'll ever go when it's not Halloween or Christmas time because it's so festive and fun and much cooler than doing it in the Summer. This time I planned ahead and got this party scheduled before we left!


This week's features!

Steph Creates shared this DIY Wood Riser to hold a festive holiday vignette. I think things always look better with differing heights and this adds that depth! 


The Apple Street Cottage shared how to make an elegant and special Glass Bowl Christmas Tree. Hit the Thrift Stores! 

Artsy VaVa shared this brilliant way to make a DIY Holiday Bottle Stopper. You'll never guess what she used! 

Finally, 'tis the season where Mama and Papa may need a cocktail right? This Turtle Cocktail from The Kitchen Is My Playground would fit the bill! Who knew there was Pecan Whiskey?! 


Thanks to everyone who linked up and see you next week!

BFF Open House

 


Happy end of the first week of DECEMBER and Friday Eve! I hope my US friends had a nice Thanksgiving and we're running like a snowball downhill towards the finish line! 

This week I remade an old sign which inspired a new tray and shared some Christmas/Winter themed printables. 



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

Crazy Little Lovebirds shared this beautiful Faux Arched Winter Window. I get in trouble every time you link up a Dollar Tree item I haven't come across yet. Keep them coming!  

Steph Creates shared this adorable Framed Camper Ornament Shadow Box


Try It Like It Create It shared a modern take on a retro craft with this Festive Ball Decor Project. Perfect for New Year's Too! 


Finally, these Sacher Torte Cookies are perfect for Christmas or Hanukkah! From Cindy's Online Recipe Box

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

Happy Friday Eve and HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Creative Peeps! We focus this day on gratitude for what we have in our lives and among the many people and things for which I am grateful, I am grateful for the gift of creativity and creative people who share their talents at my party each week. If I didn't have a creative outlet, I don't know what I'd do. It's a kinetic energy that has to go somewhere!

I broke my own tradition and started my Christmas decorating this week before Thanksgiving. I stole some time yesterday to do a quick Thanksgiving Craft with these Decorative Candleholders

Whether you're hosting or visiting, wishing you a wonderful day. And from here on out...it's full speed ahead to Christmas and Hanukkah! 

Let's take a look at some great ideas for yourselves or as gifts. 


Crushed Glass Art is very popular right now and usually requires resin. The Apple Street Cottage has a wonderful project that doesn't use resin which can be challenging for people sensitive to fumes. Check out her Crushed Glass Christmas Tree tutorial! 

Gingerbread themes are everywhere and Master Pieces of My Life has a fabulous and fun project with this oversized Gingerbread Mug. Perfect to add to your decor for a little whimsy! 



Rae Dunn design remains classic and popular and these candles from Hunny I'm Home DIY are so fun and fresh! 


Sum of Their Stories was gifted old Saris by a friend. I think Saris are so beautiful...I picked up some little drawstring bags at a bead show made from old Saris and love that they can continue their life repurposed. Check out these gorgeous Christmas Ornaments made from Recycled Saris! 



Finally, Steph Creates shared a great upgrade to a Target Wood Sleigh. Fun and festive! 

Thanks to everyone who linked up and again, wishing my American friends a Happy and Joyous Thanksgiving.
