Happy Friday Eve, all. Again hoping that anyone in the path of Milton is safe and damage is minimal.  Let's hope this is it for the season!

Happy Friday Eve again already because where did this week go and what did I get done besides not much?! Not because I was busy with something but because I have no clue where this week went. 

I do have another workshop I signed up for that I'm excited about and thought I'd share. With the holidays approaching and peak gift giving time, if you have a Cricut you underuse or have been thinking about getting one, here's a wonderful opportunity to learn more. I have no connection to this other than I've taken previous workshops hosted by Abbi and they're always fantastic! 

SEPTEMBER 23rd - 27th

Sign up for FREE here

It will include "50+ inspiring handmade Cricut gift projects, card, bow, and wrapping workshops for all skill levels"

I did share my DIY Haunted House, made with two Dollar Tree signs and a wood base from DT. 

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

Crazy Little Lovebirds shared a wonderful way to welcome Fall with this Thankful Sign. 

The Apple Street Cottage shared this gorgeous Wine Bottle Windchime! Speaking of gift giving season, make a few of these! 

Hunny I'm Home DIY shared these Rae Dunn-inspired Farmhouse Pumpkins.

And before we say goodbye to Summer, what screams Summer but an Ice Cream Sandwich? Make your own with help from Cindy's Online Recipe Box. Sugar Free recipe too! 

Thanks to everyone who linked up and wishing everyone a Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Happy Spring Creative Peeps! I hope by now everyone who had to Spring forward is adjusted. We don't change so my biggest challenge is remembering time differences between Arizona and everywhere else. I also hope you all had a wonderful and safe St. Patrick's day without any Leprechaun pranks. 

I read about JoAnn entering bankruptcy which makes me sad so let's do our part as Creatives and support them! They said no stores will be closing. And no, I don't have any connection other than as a loyal customer who wants to see them continue! 

Time to take a look at some inspiring Spring and Easter ideas!

Steph Creates once again turns simple Dollar Tree finds into something beautiful with this Spring Bird DIY. 

The Apple Street Cottage shared this Bowl Full of Bunnies complete with pattern. 

Hunny I'm Home DIY shared another fabulous Dollar Tree project with this Mini-Bunny Basket. 

Finally, even better than store bought, Cincy Shopper shared how to make our own Peanut Butter Eggs. YUM! 

Thank you to all who linked up and shared their inspiration last week and can't wait to see what you've got this week!

Happy Friday Eve all, and I hope the first week of March has treated you well! I can't believe St. Patricks is in less than 10 days and Easter is at the end of the month, then we'll already be in April! This is the time of year we're all supposed to be getting an early start on holiday gift making right? At least that's what I tell  myself in October/November about the coming year. Anyone else?

This week I shared a fun impromptu gift I made for Mr. Chocolate combining his love of Disney and trains: Layered Disney Inspired Train

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

The Apple Street Cottage shared this VERY cute St. Patrick's Day Idea perfect for school, office, neighbors!

Master Pieces of My Life shared an elegant way to add some St. Patrick's Decor without breaking the bank by using a thrifted frame! 

Nothing says Welcome Spring like pretty flowers. Blue Sky At Home has a beautiful idea with this Garden Style Spring Wreath! 

Finally, Rose Bakes shared these wonderful St. Patrick's Cake Pops which would be a fun way to celebrate. 

Thanks to everyone who linked up and for understanding about features last week. Can't wait to see what you've been up to this week!

Happy Friday Eve All. February's been a blur so I'm kinda ready to be moving on to March while at the same time, I can't believe it's almost MARCH?! Since we did a couple of weeks of grocery delivery because we were down with COVID, it was a shock yesterday when we made it back to the grocery store and both paused in confusion seeing all of the Easter stuff! Stuck in a time warp since the last time we were there it was Valentine's everywhere. 

Spring is around the corner and it's fun to see so many Spring and St. Patrick's ideas. Let's take a look.

The Apple Street Cottage shared a pretty and practical idea that we can probably all take advantage with this Upcycled Candle Jar tutorial. 

Organized Home shared thisvery cute Leprechaun Hat idea that would be fun for any St. Patrick's table! 

With Spring approaching, comes Spring cleaning which often includes going through our stash. Like paper, it's hard for me to part with fabric scraps. Sum of Their Stories has a great way to use them to make New Usable Cloth! 

Finally, how cute is this idea from Our Tiny Nest...Leprechaun Bait Chex Mix! The book is a must, too. 

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

Crunch time! And I'm not talking about candy canes. Three to four days depending on if you celebrate Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Are you ready? I have a few small things to pick up and then, baking, but otherwise, I'm as ready as I'm getting!

I also think I'm going to follow the very smart lead of my friends Kathleen and Cecelia who host the weekly Vintage Charm Party at Our Hopeful Home and leave this party up through the end of the year!

This week I shared my 2023 Christmas Cards 

and a Framed Snowglobe I made as a gift. 

Before we take a look at some of the wonderful features from last week's party and since this will be the last party of the year, THANK YOU to all of the Creative Peeps who've been with this party from the beginning; those who joined along the way; and those who may have joined for the first time. I enjoy hosting this each week to see the creativity of others who get as much joy from Making as I do. Truly, you all give me gifts each week. Wishing everyone a happy Yuletide, Christmas, day off...whatever, and however you celebrate! 

Master Pieces of My Life shared these Dollar Tree Faux Gingerbread Houses I'm putting in my 2024 to make file! It will give me time to pick up a bunch!

The Apple Street Cottage shared another fantastic transformation. We've all seen these retro Ceramic Trees or even have them from family.

Steph Creates shared how to transform a plain Bamboo Tray into a work of art! 

And finally, 3 Boys and a Dog shared these mouth-watering Mini Oreo Cheesecakes that would be a perfect addition to any holiday dessert table!

Now, let's see what everyone's cooked up for the rest of the year!
