Funtastic Friday #291

I'm kind of in a redecorating/rearranging

mood right now. 

I'm going to be working on some changes in our living room.

I'll try to post the transformation,

so stay tuned ;)

Shelly's DIY flower box caught my eye from last week's party.

Easy to make with just a box and some fun burlap and striped ribbon. 

A quick centerpiece for any table.

And right now, I've noticed faux flowers on clearance at several craft stores'

Great for filling your box.

But you can't beat real flowers in a boxed centerpiece.

I love a bunch of fresh cut flowers.

If you're a little bit more ambitious

Make our simple wood slatted table box with handles {here}

Or check out our simple rustic wood box {here}

You could even use planted flowers or houseplants in your boxes. 

Now let's get started on this week's party....

Funtastic Friday #290

Just got back from a much needed family reunion and va-cay.

A little different this year with a pandemic but

so good to visit family, have lazy mornings, read some books, visit some shops and recharge!

We had a few nights of S'mores.

A must have for late nights and a bunch of cousins.

Raquel has a fun twist on the traditional with her Smore cupcakes

How about S'mores in a bag.

Easy and portable.

How about S'mores as a gift with fun shaped marshmallows. {here}

What treats are you making this summer?

Let's check out what's shakin' and bakin' on this week's...

Funtastic Friday #289

Triple digits are killing us!

How are you surviving this summer heat? 

 Time for more cool drinks like

Dawn's Disney Dole Whip pineapple sorbet

It looks delish and just the thing to cool us off. 

How about sitting out on the shaded grass,

 in a hammock or

 inside next to the AC

to read a good book.

We've got some good read ideas for adults {here}

and for teens/tweens {here} and {here}

Welcome to Funtastic Friday Link Party #289!  

 Glad you could stop by and we hope that you find some fun ideas and share your own!

Funtatic Friday #288

We've had several triple digit days already this year

and this week the heat is on.

Lois' lemon lime water with coconut water

looks so refreshing!

I've been wanting to try some different infused waters

and this is on my list.

Cool and clean for a hot day!

You can find more cool summer drinks that we've rounded up for summer {here}

What are you doing to stay cool in the summer heat?

Check out everyone's ideas at this week's Funtastic Friday....

Funtastic Friday #287

Happy Birthday America!

Have fun celebrating this great land of ours on the 4th!

I love patriotic art and decor. 

Kathy walks you through how to make this rustic flag

from reclaimed wood.

 Love the monochromatic vintage look to it.

If you're still wanting to put together a special treat for your celebrations...

We've rounded up some ideas {here} and {here}

Kelly's Buttermilk Syrup

Years ago, my sister-in-law

introduced us to buttermilk syrup while on a visit out to their house.

I'm not really even a syrup person but,

Yum-o, I'd never had anything like it!

Funtastic Friday #286

I haven't had to work this week

so I've got my kids helping with projects. 

We had gotten so busy that a lot of things 

were put on the back burner!

Quarantine has given us that extra time...

One project for the week is cleaning out our craft/kid homework room.

It's also become a "catch all" for things we didn't have time to 

find a place for or deal with. 

Stacy's card catalog is a great storage solution.

Love that yellow she painted on it. 

She gives you all the 411 for painting on metal 

as one of our host picks this week.

Have you pulled out all your 4th of July decor?
If you've been aching to make something new and patriotic....



Try our patriotic table runner.
Sewn together with strips of any red, white and blue fabric.
I was excited with how this project turned out!

It's time to see more of your 4th of July ideas so...

Let's get right to the party!
