BFF Open House LInk Party #120

Welcome to another party here at The Answer Is Chocolate! Hope those of you who sent kids back to school this week survived all of the fun that comes with that. College boy started his Junior year which I still can't believe. 

Here are a few features from last week's party to get us started: 

Loving this made over memo board from Artsy Va Va, especially since she re-purposed a beloved old frame to give it new life. 

Theresa at Junk to Jewels DIY also shared a repurposed transformation. Glam up an old piece of furniture with a glazing technique.

Mr. Chocolate would love to have a cute little camper like this. The closest we may get is an embroidered towel like this one from Closet Crafter Ohio. 

And this week's chocolate feature is simple and classic and makes me want to lick the computer screen. Is there anything more perfect than a chocolate cupcake? Molly from 100% Molly Made shared her recipe. YUM! 

Now let's see what everyone's been up to this week! If you're new linking up please say hi so I can visit you back! 

Better Late Than Never Project Life Notecards Winner!

Yikes and shame on me. I have been so busy with work, The Mumster visiting, celebrating our anniversary, work, and the long weekend that I forgot to announce the winner of the little "Project Life Vintage Travel" notecard giveaway.


And the winner is:  Megan!

Thanks to all who participated. I was at Michaels yesterday and saw the other Project Life kits they carry....DANGEROUS!

Happy September everyone. I can't believe I just typed SEPTEMBER.

Still Love You More Than Chocolate Mr. C. Happy Anniversary.

Hard to believe that 22 years have gone by. Time flies when you're married to your BFF. Laughter, tears, sickness, health, we've been through it all . Our amazing son. I still love you more than chocolate Mr. C. Always.

Another week has flown by already and this one was a super busy one once again so just the party this week. Wishing everyone a nice long Labor Day weekend! 

Just In "Time" For Back To School. Cool Clocks From Pick Your Plum!

Whether you've already sent kids back to school or are getting ready to, Pick Your Plum has a great way to show your favorite teacher some classroom love.

Wouldn't one of these brighten a classroom? Or for those of you sending kids off to college, wouldn't this be fun for a new dorm room? 

They come in 6 different designs and are  $12.99 each.  But once they're gone, they're gone. 

Spellbinders Die Winner

A big congratulations to Carolina Moore , creative craft genius behind 30 Minute Crafts  who is the winner of the Spellbinders die giveaway I hosted last week.

Thanks to everyone who entered and don't forget you can still get a gift with purchase of this exclusive die when you purchase any Spellbinders die at Hobby Lobby ( while supplies last)

BFF Open House Link Party #118

Happy happy HAPPY haPpY Friday Eve.  So excited because The Mumster is arriving tomorrow. Of course she's turning around and leaving in a couple of days for an Alaskan cruise! Poor baby. 

Thanks to everyone who linked up last week. Awesome ideas as always. Here are just a few features. 

It's back to school time . I miss shopping for back to school supplies so I live vicariously through other people. School supplies for College Boy pretty much boil down to pens but I miss the days of crayons and colored pencils Although as a crafter, it's a great time to stock up on things like white glue for crackling things.  

. Optimistic Mommy has a bright and thoughtful back to school Teacher Appreciation gift. 

Great crafting minds must think alike because I also love this Teacher's Gift idea from Just Dip It In Chocolate . I think I might have to make one of these to fill with malted milk balls for my desk. 

Any Mad Men fans out there? College Boy is addicted to the show. It's Always Ruetten  linked up her "Drab to Draper" chair transformation which turned out great. 

Warning. Serious Chocolate Ahead!

Yes you read that right. 2+ pound chocolate brownies! Yes please. Go visit True Blue Baking for the recipe. If. You. Dare! 

After that, head over to Cath's Cookery Creations for the details on these Cookies and Cream Cupcakes. Hey, if I'm tempted, you get tempted. That's the way it works around here. 

OK now on to this week's party! What's everyone been up to. I'm waiting for the first Halloween project to appear !
