BFF Open House #208

Happy Friday Eve and Mother's Day Weekend everyone. Hope all the moms and grandmoms out there are spoiled rotten this weekend. Shout out to The Mumster. We'll be celebrating Mother's Day next week in the best way possible: College Boy's graduation. Can't wait! 

Here are some ideas from last week's party that you can still whip up for Mother's Day!

This looks good enough to eat right? DON'T! But even if you don't like or drink coffee, this is a delicious and indulgent treat perfect for pampering yourself or to give in a pretty jar as a gift. Whipped Mocha Scrub from Woods of Bell Trees.  

If you need some last minute creative Mother's Day gift packaging, you might check out this idea from Much More Creative. 

If you have a Mom to Be or a new Mom in your life, here is a wonderful and practical gift idea from Logan Can. One of my cousins sent me something similar when College Boy was born and it was the absolute BEST gift I received. 

This week's chocolate feature is an adult beverage I've been wanting to try . How about a Chocolate Martini from The View From In Here? 

Now on to this week's party!

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!

I blink and it's Friday eve again. Seriously I am living the movie Groundhog Day which will continue for a while and I want to thank you all for continuing to link up despite the fact that I have had NOTHING to share on the blog lately :(

Some fun ideas from last week's party! 

Heather from Woods of Bell Trees just never runs out of brilliant ideas. I mean never. Would you have guessed that these gorgeous cups were made using temporary tattoos? I have seen these tattoos when I manage to make it out of my home office  lately but  would not have thought of putting them on drinkware! 

I think those tattooed cups would look great on this coffee table tray from 24 Cottonwood Lane. How crisp and fresh is this? 

I adore this end table makeover from Kris at Aurora Patina! You really have to see the table she started with to get this incredible result. Tres chic!

OK I have a spoiled rotten dog but this pet bed from Artsy VaVa takes things to an entirely new level. It has a CHANDELIER...a chandelier people. Again, you need to go see the before to be even more impressed with the after. 

OK now on to this week's party!

Happy Friday eve everyone! Fridays cannot come soon enough for me these days. Unfortunately it seems neither can Mondays! But enough of a breather this week to share some features from last week's party and the week before!

Let's start with this great door decor from Lemons and Laughs featuring adorable little rain boots. I've seen rain boot planters but using kid size boots you can decorate your front door. 

I see another trip to the hardware store trying to explain that I'm not planning to use their stuff for its intended purpose. Love this wine bottle vase idea from A Woman's Haven. 

How much fun are these animal jars from Woods of Bell Trees? You could have so much fun with different themes. 

For this week's chocolate feature, Mint Oreo Rice Krispies Treats! A mouthful to say and a mouthful to enjoy!  Visit Purple Patch DIY for the recipe. 

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

BFF Open House #202 Happy Spring !

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 !
