BFF Open House

Happy Friday Eve again friends! Hope you've all had a creative and peaceful week. Still on my Quilling journey ( latest here) and filled w/ a burst of energy starting on some Halloween pieces which I'll show in the future! Looks like everyone's keeping busy as well so here's a look at some of the great ideas from last week's party! 

I'm clearly not the only one thinking about Halloween. LOVE these wine glasses from Unique Creations by Anita which are simple yet bold and elegant! 

Chas's Crazy Creations also has Halloween on the brain and made these wonderful Bottle Pumpkins that are so cool! 

Look at this BEAUTIFUL paper feather from Priyam at Simple Joys! Not cut using a digital cutter or die, but by HAND! 

Love Chocolate Chip Cookies? Love Nutella? How about the two combined! That's exactly what The Kitchen Is My Playground did and they look scrumptious! 

Now, let's see what all you creative people have been up to this week!

Happy Friday Eve all. I had to remind myself what day it was since Monday was my last day of work! Still early in the journey of figuring out my next chapter, but so far, so good! Hope you've had a good week, are taking good care , washing your hands and masking up when going out! 

Let's take a look at some features from last week's party. 

The DIY Dreamer shared this fabulous 3D Barn Quilt made from wood. The color combinations are endless and what a great piece of wall art!  I'm also sharing a pic of the pre-painted but finished version because I love it just in plain wood too! 

Artsy Va Va shared another wood project in her gorgeous style, this one patriotic themed in red white and blue: 

Both  the name of this card "Something Old, Something New" and the card itself caught my eye given that I've left something old, and figuring out something new, plus the gorgeous coloring of the image Linda from Paper Seedlings did! 

Finally, I think this dessert from The Kitchen Is My Playground is aptly named: Coconut Yum Yum looks yummy indeed!

Now, let's see what everyone's been up to this week!

Happy Friday Eve all. Do Monday holidays throw you off as much as they do me? I am always confused the rest of the week. Hopefully you all had a peaceful long weekend last weekend and here we are coming up on another weekend and JUNE?! How did that happen?

Would you believe this gorgeous jewelry box is a book?! I absolutely love the idea and the colors that Anita from Unique Creations by Anita used to create it. Just gorgeous!

How much fun would it be to run around in custom painted runners / sneakers / tennis shoes..whatever you call them in your neck of the woods? These are so cute! Shared by Love My Little Cottage. 

If you're not headed to the beach any time soon, maybe you can bring the beach to you via online ordering or things you might already have on hand? Love this beachy tablescape from Whispers of The Heart! 

True confession time. I do not love Rice Krispies Treats! I know....then nerve! BUT...these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Rice Krispies Treats could just change that forever! YUM from The Kitchen Is My Playground !

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

Happy Spring! Wash your hands. Hope everyone's surviving sheltering in place / social distancing. Wash your hands. Crafters and introverts, this is our moment! It's like our Olympics! We've trained for this. Wash your hands. 

All joking aside, I do hope that you're all well and have what you need. In a very stressful time, I'm seeing people come together ( in our own spaces) through sharing talents , ideas, recipes online. 

Let's take a look at some ideas from last week! 

Since St. Patrick's Day fell victim to our current situation, Pin this for next year. A Cookie Cutter Four Leaf Clover from Chas's Crazy Creations. She used as a trivet but you could easily hang or add to a wreath. 

I love this whole vignette but the star is the Book Bundle. I've seen these for sale for $$ ( back when I occasionally left the house and could) and in magazines and on shows. Dragonfly Treasure shows you how you can make your own!

Nothing says Spring like eggs. They feature prominently in religious and non religious celebrations as a reminder of renewal. These Rustic Eggs from the The DIY Dreamer are so clean and perfect! 

And finally,  here's a yummy dessert for St. Patrick's Day or anytime: 

I especially love the title: NO-BAKE BAILEYS COOKIES & CREAM YUM YUM from The Kitchen Is My Playground. 

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

Happy Friday eve all and I know I am always going on about how fast time goes by but seriously, HOW is it already the end of February?! I need one of these genius tech people to figure out a way to slow time down.

Here are some fun ideas from last week's party!

Don't have a digital cutting machine? Don't need one to make these cute Mickey and Minnie "LOVE" signs. Drugstore Divas has the details! 

Seems like there are fewer and fewer things to laugh about anymore so this Ombre card from Paper Seedlings is a great reminder for all of us. Who wouldn't smile getting one of these? 

I think DIY Vibes just found a solution to a space I've been trying to decide how to fill. I love this Mason Jar Wall Decor idea which would work for fresh or silk flowers. 

Finally, it's that pre-Spring weird weather where it's either cold one day, warm the next or even within the same day. This Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate is just the thing to warm up the cold days and not be too hot on the warm days. From The Kitchen Is My Playground.

Time to see what everyone's been up to this week!

Happy Friday Eve all! Hope your week has gone well. Let's see some ideas from last week's party! 

You may still be able to find some clearance Christmas ornaments or have some leftover that you didn't use. This idea from Fresh Vintage by Lisa S is a great way to transform them into a great Valentine's wreath. 

Flights aren't just for airplanes! Lots of craft distilleries and restaurants offer Flights of everything from ciders to Bourbons and Handmade Weekly has a great way to make your own Flight Board. 

Have you ever double thrifted? Cecelia from My Thrift Store Addiction made over a recent thrifty find with a previous thrifty find. That's what I call a double thrift! Love these Toile Covered Hearts and Letters. 

Finally, I couldn't resist this fun drink which would be perfect for Valentine's Day but it caught my eye because of the name, especially being of a certain age. It's The Gilligan's Island Cocktail from The Kitchen Is My Playground. Yep, now you're humming the theme song too!

Happy New Year all! I am "I remember Y2K years old" and it's amazing to me to realize TWO decades have now gone by! Welcome to the first BFF OPEN HOUSE of 2020! Thank you to everyone who partied here throughout 2019! One of my goals for 2020 is to make more time to create. There's never enough time for that right?

Let's see some ideas from last week's party: 

Holidays don't take a break. I have 6 birthday cards to make for January and February and Valentine's Day are right around the corned. Check out these adorable mini gumball machines from White House Crafts! 

While this is a Christmas Gnome from Kippi At Home, I think it's also adorable for Valentine's Day. I have a thing for gnomes so having them out all year long is no issue for me! 

Here's another Christmas idea that can be re-purposed for Valentine's Day. Check out these Peppermint Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies from The Kitchen Is My Playground. Package them in a cute Valentine tin or box and voila!

OK let's see what everyone's been up to!
