BFF Open House Link Party #207

The Answer Is Chocolate

Happy Friday Eve everyone. Can you believe tomorrow is May already? I cannot. I will get the best Mother's Day present possible...watching my "baby" graduate from college later in the month. Nothing can top  that. I am also going to have to come up with something new to call him besides College Boy. More on that later. 

Let's see some features from last week's party. 


This is a gorgeous card any mom would be thrilled to receive. Perfect for weddings or birthdays or multiple occasions. Visit Craft With Cartwright for the details.


Here's another card. Love the clean construction and I especially love the story that goes with how this card came to be. Visit Paper Seedlings to find out. 


With Graduation season upon us check out this modern and chic alternative to a traditional class ring. Visit Jewelry Making Journal for the how to .

And this week's chocolate feature should come with a warning label. 


Fudgy Caramel Brownies from The Gracious Wife. You're welcome! 

Now let's see what you've been up to this week!

BFF Open House #202 Happy Spring !


The Answer Is Chocolate

Happy Friday Eve all. I have been MIA when it comes to making anything lately....life and some physical limitations....glad it's officially Spring! 

Here are some Springy features from last week's party. 


Love this freestanding bunny plaque from Much More Creative! Perfect for Spring and Easter! 


I really need to find an old rake! I keep seeing creative uses for them like this utensil holder from The Gracious Wife


As boot weather comes to an end, it's time for fun Spring shoes. How about monogramming a pair of canvas flats? Being Bianca has the details! 


This week's chocolate feature is all kinds of wonderful to me. Coffee, coconut, chocolate coffee liqueur? Yes please. Visit Confectionalism for the recipe!  

Now on to this week's party !

BFF Open House Link Party #200

The Answer Is Chocolate

Happy Friday eve all! Not sure where this week went but thrilled for today both because of this party and College Boy being home for Spring Break! 

It's not easy being green but here are some ideas for next week's big green St. Patrick's fest: 


The guys from Crafty Lumberjacks upcycled their clover patch from last year into a fun shamrock wreath for this year! 



If you'd like to have something to wear that isn't necessarily green, how about a shamrock ring? Hoops by Hand has the how to. 


There's still time to make a lucky welcome sign for your front door with just a couple of items needed. It's Always Ruetten has the details. 


For a St. Patrck's treat how about mint chocolate truffles? The gold sugar on top is perfect ! Visit The Gracious Wife for the recipe. 

Now on to this week's party!

BFF Open House Link Party #195

The Answer Is Chocolate

Happy February everyone. 2015 is clearly going to move at a rapid pace! Valentine's Day is just about a week away. It seems like it was just Christmas doesn't it? Let's see some LOVEly ideas fom last week's party! 


Julia from Always Ruetten shared her adorable lovebird wreath. So cute!


I know I said this when I featured Artsy VaVa's last iteration of the evolving chair ( and maybe even the iteration before that) but everytime I think she's done, NOPE! Look at the Valentine's version!!! 



I also love the simplicity of this felt garland from The Gracious Wife . I think the berry beads between each heart really make it pop! 


Finally, these peanut butter chocolate heart cookies from The Pin Junkie  would be a perfect addition to your Valentine's treats!

Now let's see what you've been up to this week!
