Happy Friday Eve once again . I cannot believe we are staring down the end of May, that it's Memorial Day Weekend already, which means the start of Summer! Before you know it we'll be seeing Halloween stuff. Yikes!

Before that happens, let's take a look at some of the ideas shared at last week's party!

With Memorial Day soon to be followed by Fourth of July , this pillow from Lisa and Fresh Vintage By LisaS is a perfect addition to your decor.

I don't read as much as I used to ( thanks internet) but when I do, I still love holding a physical book in my hands. And that means having a bookmark. I love these from Yarn Scissors Silk which are a great way to use up scraps of ribbon and miscellaneous beads and embellishments. 

If you need a dessert for Memorial Day barbecues ( or just because) check out this Bailey's Chocolate Chip Cheesecake from Marilyn's Treats. 

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

Well this week has flown by. I hope all the Moms had a wonderful Mother's Day! Jumping right into some features from last week's party!

I have always had a thing for Boxwood Wreaths but I don't have a thing for their prices. Or, I do have a thing for their prices which is they're SO EXPENSIVE. So here's a great one from The Organized Dream that won't break the bank! 

Keeping with the green ideas, how about these Terrariums fro Fresh Vintage by LisaS?  It's such nice way to bring the outside in. 

I've seen this quote a few times and I really like it. I LOVE what Chas from Chas's Crazy Creations did with the supplies she found at Dollar Tree. 

What's better than Oreos or cake except putting them together?! Check out this recipe from Lou Lou Girls. Yum! 

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

Happy Friday Eve all and Happy Mother's Day weekend to all who are celebrating. Been a crazy week so let's get straight to the features from last week's party. 

Let's start with a DIY Basket Makeover from Busy Lifestyle Gal. Would have been tempting to drop this off at Goodwell etc. but look what some spray paint can do. Re-purpose completed!

Here's another easy, fun, DIY from Three Winks Design, a Monthly Magnetic Poster Frame! 

If you still need a Mother's Day Card, Suzer Space has you covered with this one which is downloadable and printable! 

Finally, if you have some overripe bananas here's a great way to use them up from Treat and Trick :  Cocoa Banana Bars! 

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

Happy May all. BTW how did it get to be MAY already?!  I took a much needed little Spring Break last week so didn't do any features but let's take a look at some of the fun ideas that were shared. 

I have been in love with Hairpin Leg projects for a while now. I am seriously in love with these DIY Wood Slice Hairpin Leg tables from Kippi At Home. 

Perfect transition to this next project from Busy Lifestyle Gal, these beautiful Succulent Planters, upcycled from yogurt containers! Real talk: I have bought this yogurt specifically for the glass container but I'm boring and use them to hold my pens. Think I need to get some more! 

I keep passing these skeins of GIANT yarn at the store and haven't known what to do w/ them. Now I do. I love these pillows by Yarn Scissors Silk which uses one of the basic knitting stitches I know how to do! 

Finally, when I'm not eating chocolate, I'm drinking coffee. OK I combine them and drink iced mochas but these Coffee Biscuits from Treat and Trick look like the perfect pairing with any coffee drink or just on their own! 

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

Happy Friday Eve once again and can you believe that this one marks eight months until Christmas? Laugh all you want but how many of us think oh we have all this time to make all the handmade gifts we have in our heads and then BAM where did the time go? 

Taking a little vacation break this week so no features. Will  resume next week. Happy Weekend all!

Happy Friday Eve all. Whether you're celebrating Easter, Passover, or nothing this weekend, wishing everyone a wonderful weekend! 

Let's take a look at some ideas from last week's party OK? 

I love a good pun and living in the desert, I couldn't resist these Succulent Printables from The Organized Dream. 

I can't wait to make these for next year. Love love love these Paper Eggs from Paper Seedlings. These are so much fun as shown or as a garland. 

What's better than a chocolate bunny? One that doesn't melt and you can put in your garden. Check out these cute plant stakes from Fluster Buster. 

Finally, if you still need a festive dessert for Easter check out this Chocolate Pistachio Cake from Masterpieces of My Life.  So elegant ! 

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

Happy Friday eve all! Week's flown by, almost literally, for me. It was super windy here yesterday and hoping that's done with. Hope you all have had a great week! Who's preparing to watch the last season of Game of Thrones starting on Sunday? Huge fan here. 

OK let's have a look at some great ideas from last week's party!

With Easter and Passover approaching, eggs are a big decor item. LOVE these Botanical Eggs from Artsy VaVa! 

Look how cute this table setting is from Kippi At Home! You really have to check out all of the ideas for a lovely table and this is the KIDS table! 

Thrift store makeovers are one of my faves, and this Farmhouse Sign from The Organized Dream is no exception. 

Finally, this would make quite the impression as an Easter dessert don't you think? Espresso  Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce from Marilyn's Treats!

Happy Friday Eve all! Whew. Another week gone by  just like that. Hope it was a good one for you. Let's take a look at some wonderful ideas from last week's party shall we?

Whether for Easter specifically or Spring Decor in general, these decoupaged eggs from Craftify My Love are a great touch of Spring. 

Tassels are everywhere from jewelry to all kinds of accessories. Domestic Bliss Squared has a great DIY tutorial to make these Layered Tassels so you can make as many as you like in all the colors you love! 

When people tease me about all the stuff I make, I joke that I have a "Martha Stewart Personality Disorder" because I'd rather DIY. Martha and I part ways though when it comes to gardening. Just never took to it. So this post from Repurpose and Upcycle on how to incorporate Air Plants into decor is right up my alley because I don't think even I can kill these. I bought some old sugar molds at a Junk Show that are screaming for these! 

With Girl Scout Cookie season over, you don't have to wait until next year to get your Thin Mint fix. Family Cookie Recipes has got you covered with these Homemade Thin Mints. 

Now let's see what everyone's been up to this week! Hoping this works smoothly as INLINKZ has switched over to a new format so bear with me if you can't link up right away!

Happy Friday Eve all. Ready to say goodbye to March already? Can't believe it. What I really can't believe is that it was a year ago this week that we pulled up stakes from Washington and moved to Arizona. Talk about time flying!

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

You might guess this gorgeousness is someone's craft room or space decorated for a party. You would be wrong. The luckiest chickens in the world live in this CHICKEN COOP that is prettier than my office! If I ever have a chicken coop ( and since I have coyotes that walk through my neighborhood it's not likely I'd want it to look like this from The Inspired Prairie !

I am in love with the results of this table makeover in blue and copper chalk paint from Abbotts At Home !

I love this beautiful necklace from Bijou Bead Boutique but I love the story behind it even more so you'll have to go check it out. 

Finally, doesn't this cake just scream Spring ?! So pretty. From Howling At The Moon. 

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

Happy Friday Eve and Happy Spring All! Hope you've all had a great week.  A little calmer on this end so thanks for understanding no features last week. 

Starting off with these sweet Watercolor Carrots from Mamas Brush. This is more as a reminder than a project tutorial but a reminder of what? A reminder that our creativity doesn't have to be perfect ( whatever that really means) in order for us to be happy with it or for it to be considered art. There's a great reminder in the post: 

Are they perfect? No. But they are fun. And that’s my only requirement for being happy with something I’ve created. 

(As an aside: I never pursued my love of drawing when I was younger because I always though everything had to be perfect… what a game changer this new way of thinking is!)

I think this is a reminder we can all use. I know I can!

I  know what you're thinking: "That bunny's going to melt out there in the grass". HA HA Lisa, from Fresh Vintage by Lisa S fooled us. It's a Faux Chocolate Bunny she's painted to look like a real one.

Speaking of chocolate ( hello, you know where you are lol ) these Mint Oreo Cookie Balls would be a nice addition to a special Easter Basket or dessert table. From Butter With A Side of Bread:

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