BFF Open House Link Party #236

Crunch time people! One week until Christmas Eve....EEEEEEEEEEEEK! Are you ready? I'm not. 

Here are some ideas from last week's party that you still have time for though! 

Love  this card from Paper Seedlings. The little dots around the word "peace"? A happy accident that I think adds a great dimension to the card. 

Fantastic on trend makeover from Lou Lou Girls. I love updating and re-purposing pieces I already have.

I love lights and would have them everywhere if left to my own devices. But I hate seeing the cords. Sweetwater Style shared a great post on how to get the lights without the unsightly cords. 

I think Santa, or his hardworking Elves would love a batch of these Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies from Strength and Sunshine don't you? 

Now, on to this week's party.

BFF Open House Link Party #197

Happy Friday eve all! Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's weekend. Let's jump right into some highlights from last week's party! 

Can you ever have too many serving trays? I don't think so and Chas from A Woman's Haven has a wonderful DIY . Clean and easy and love the chevron stripes! 

Waste baskets are necessary but aren't always pretty. Make over a plain one using fabric and burlap ribbon like Mary at Sweetwater Style did. 

Doreen from Altered Artworks updated a sign she already had with colors perfect for Spring. 

With Girl Scout cookie season upon us, Miranda from Lemons and Laughs has a a recipe to turn Samoas into truffles. Oh my! 

Now onto this week's party!

BFF Open House Link Party #64 Wrap Up and Features

I still can’t believe it’s August. July was definitely a blur. It was great seeing what everyone’s been up to so here are a few features from last week’s party. Thanks to everyone who linked up!

If you’re looking for a cool, stylish look for these hot Summer days, visit Bev at Flamingo Toes for the how-to on this sandal re-fashion!

I need to eat more cheese. What does that have to do with this ab fab birthday banner in a box? You’ll have to pop over to visit Keri at Shaken Together to find out!

Were you as excited by the first week of the Olympics as we were? I love watching the athletes realize their dreams. Celebrate week two and the closing ceremonies with these gold medal worthy cake pops from Karyn at Pint Sized Baker:

Finally, do you have any of those battery operated candles and do you want to transform them?

Mary over at Sweetwater Style has a great tutorial showing how she upscaled these.

Hope you’ll go and visit these ladies as well as the other wonderful links. Make it a creative week!
