BFF Open House #214
Hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth of July weekend! We'll jump right into this week's features!
The "force" was definitely with this feature. Here at casa Chocolate, we just finished watching the original Star Wars Trilogy because we nerd hard. I am going to hear about why I didn't make a cake like this. Check out Lou Lou Girls blog for the how to. It's out of this world! (Couldn't help myself!)
Rustic signs are very on trend right now but they can also be pricey. Brenda from Much More Creative shows you how to make your own for less.
The Pin Junkie shared one of my favorite combinations: pretty and practical. Love this easy cord keeper using clothespins and washi tape.
This week's chocolate feature will "bust" your bubble. Check out this Buster Bar Dessert from Grandparent's Plus. YUM!
Now for this week's party !

Happy Friday Eve and Fourth of July Weekend all! It is uncharacteristically HOT here in the PNW. We are not equipped for this. That may be part of what influenced this week's features because they're all things perfect for Summer entertaining.
Let's start with a loaded potato salad. Perfect side dish for picnics, potlucks, cookouts etc. ! Visit Gator Mommy Reviews for the recipe.
How refreshing does this Blackberry Limeade look?! Perfect for a hot day. Visit Upstate Ramblings for the how-to.
These Strawberry Brownie Skewers from One Little Project look divine , look like a lot more work than they are, and did I mention look DIVINE?
Speaking of brownies ( because really, can you ever speak of brownies too much? ) how about these Jumbo Brownie Cupcakes from Engineer Mommy? Yes please.
OK on to this week's party!

Happy Friday Eve everyone. How on earth did it get to be the last weekend of June already? Can I really scare you and say that Christmas is SIX MONTHS from today? Boo!
Let's see some ideas from last week's party.
Coffee comes in a close second ( OK maybe tied) to chocolate on my list of things I cannot live without. My "Sister From Another Mother" Doreen at Altered Artworks gets it and transformed a piece she's had on hand into this fabulous coffee station. Love!
I've been thinking this year that I want to do more picnics. There's something about just taking time out and sitting on a blanket in the grass. I especially love this Date Night idea from Alayna's Creations. This would be great to put together for yourself or as a treat for friends?
With Fourth of July almost here, even if you don't do a lot of decorating having a centerpiece is easy and fun. This is a great idea from the creative forces behind LouLouGirls
Back to chocolate because hello, whose blog are you on? YUM is right on this healthy chocolate banana smoothie from Logan Can.
Now on to this week's party!

BFF Open House Link Party #211
Welcome to another party here at The Answer Is Chocolate. Happy Father's Day weekend and I hope everyone celebrating has a wonderful weekend.
Here are some features from last week's party I think you'll enjoy!
Check out this idea from Much More Creative...both the finished project and the technique are wonderful! The idea is perfect for Father's Day and the technique used to create it is limitless in possibilities.
I do not have a green thumb ( Martha and I part ways in the garden) but succulents seem like something even I might not kill. This centerpiece from Upstate Ramblings is perfect for a Summer table.
Mich in LA is a creative genius and upcycler. Not only does she use mystery findings in her gorgeous jewelry creations ( and then makes you guess what they are and they're NEVER what you think) but she's figure out a way to upcycle ..... into jewelry holders. Oh you thought I was going to tell you?
Having just eaten my way through I mean visited Disneyland, I somehow missed dining at The Big Thunder Mountain Ranch Barbecue where they serve this take on S'Mores. Want. Now. Get the inside scoop from The Disney Chef.
OK now onto this week's party!

BFF Open House Link Party #210
Happy Friday Eve all! One weekend until Father's Day so this week's party will feature some ideas for any of you still trying to think of something for the special Dad / Hub / Brother / Son / Father Figure in your life.
How about this wrench frame from Muchmore Creative? What a fun idea and you could easily pick up rusty wrenches at a garage sale or maybe even the dollar store. Just DO NOT raid the tool box for these!
If you don't want to DIY, you could also check out this great roundup of ideas from Lamberts Lately.
When you make that wrench frame you could whip up one of these cards to go with ( or maybe even put in the frame) . Crafty Lumberjacks has the how to.
And how about a special dessert ( chocolate of course) for that special Dad ? Coca Cola Ice Cream Cake from Gator Mommy!
Now on to this week's party!
