Funtastic Friday #384

 Welcome to this week's Funtastic Friday!

We're coming to the end of the school year,

Do something fun for your teachers.

Times have been especially hard for them the past couple years. 

Make sure to show them some love with a token of your appreciation.

Emily has a cute, layered cookie mix that I know your teacher will enjoy.

They often don't have the time to make homemade goodies for their families,

but her kit makes it easy!

Want to go the non-edible gift route? 

Buy your favorite plant and attach on of our 

"Thanks for Helping Me Grow This Year" tags

Or bag up all your favorite "orange" items

and attach this fun tag.

Or favorite "red" items with this "berry" gift basket and tag

Give your teacher the best kind of "heart attack"!

With this paper hearts of appreciation idea.

Hat's off to our teachers!

Enjoy every minute of your summer break!

Time for the best link party around!

Especially looking for your graduation ideas this week!

Funtastic Friday #383

 Here's to the weekend!

And Happy Mother's Day!

My husband and daughter are going to make

 Alea's vanilla Bundt cake on Sunday.

Yum-o!

Hope you are doing something special to celebrate the women in your lives.

Even just sending a quick text to someone

 who has made a difference in your life,

means so much.

If you are lucky enough to live close to your loved one,

here are some Mother's Day ideas to put together in the next couple days:

More dessert ideas {here}

And gift ideas plus printables {here}

Let's get the party started!

Funtastic Friday #382

 Time for another Funtastic Friday!

Anne Marie's knitted granny squares just made me smile this week

and brought memories of crocheting when I was younger. 

What I love now is embroidery.

You can find our free pattern for this Hope project right {here}

Learn some basic stitches to create this simply sweet hoop piece. 

Here we go to the party!

Looking for your graduation ideas this week...

Funtastic Friday #381

 Some of my kids really loved the Harry Potter series of books and movies.

Laura has a fun idea that coincides with the Fantastical Beast series. 

How about some Bowtruckle bread!

Love her printable bag labels to present these fun shaped bread characters.

Perfect for a party or getting kids together to kick off reading the books together.

Get kids interested in reading by making it fun!

A good bookmark always helps ;)

You can find our printable HP bookmarks {here}

And party game ideas {here}

Time to get to this week's party.

Along with all your fantastic DIYs,

I'm looking for Cinco de Mayo and graduation ideas.

Let's get to it!

Funtastic Friday #380

 Enjoy your Easter or Passover celebrations this weekend!

Wouldn't this cake be amazing for your next social gathering?!

I love the look of naked cakes, plus I'm not a fan of heavy icing. 

Renae gives you the step-by-step instructions to make your own cake 

and how to beautifully display it with fresh fruit. 

Have some fun with color

and create our hombre cake

Pick your favorite hue for spring!

Looking forward to all your links at this week's...

Funtastic Friday #379

Easter is right around the corner.

I just mailed out some care packages for the holiday.

Next year it would be fun to add 

a little sewn bunny to our packages and baskets. 

Linda has the pattern and instructions for these cute bunnies.

It reminds me of our circus pillows that we made a few years back.

Inspired by circus animal cookies you ate as a kid! 

You could add one of these fun animals to your Easter basket too!

Patterns included in that post. 

 Welcome to another fantastic link party!
