The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 89

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #89! This party provides a platform for sharing inspiring content such as recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home decor, and other uplifting ideas.


Hello everyone! I hope all is well. If you celebrated Mother's Day, I hope it was lovely. How was your week?
 Our week was busy. 
We had doctor appointments, finals at school, and my husband has been working on a backyard project.

 I've included a collage of our week. 

My youngest used my phone camera to take pictures of our blooming clematis vines—one is purple, and the other is deep pink. 

My husband received a guitar from his boss at work. He now has this one along with his bass guitar. 

I've only seen one hummingbird at our feeders. They're so quick; there may be more.

 I've been enjoying my time out on the back covered porch. I added a few new outdoor curtains to the space.

 My youngest and my husband made me homemade apple bread on Mother's Day; it was delicious. This week, we enjoyed a nice breakfast out after returning from an appointment at the hospital.

Congratulations to our featured bloggers

Nancy at Two Trails One Road has shared her post, "Tuesday Tidbits, Reflections." She highlights moments that shaped her winter journey—challenging moments, travel memories, and welcoming spring. 


Maya at The Little Treasures shared her post, "Hospital Days are slow." While her daughter Eva recovers in the hospital and Maya keeps her company, she has found a few things that have helped her maintain her sanity while in the hospital—painting, crochet, junk journaling, and a few other activities.

 Two Chick and a Mom share "Celebrate Your Graduate with DIY Fun." Whether you have a graduation or a summer celebration planned, they have both cute gifts and table decor ideas! Head over and check it out.

    Thanks for featuring our Celebrate Your Graduate with DIY Party Fun! Looks like you and your family have had a busy week but lots of fun. I do need to get our hummingbird feeders out--one little guy flew by yesterday and was disappointed. It has been so cold her in N. Nevada, I didn't think the birds had arrived yet. Have a wonderful week!

Colorful Summer Flower: Recycled Paper Towel DIY

  Looking to bring a little sunshine into your space without visiting the craft store? This whimsical summer flower decoration makes great use of what you already have—think beads, pom poms, a humble paper towel tube, and a splash of acrylic paint. Bonus: it’s the perfect way to reuse an old frame and welcome summer in style! What You’ll Need: 1 paper towel tube (emptied, of course!) Acrylic paint (I chose a deeper pink) Craft pom poms (yellow makes a great center!) Assorted beads (medium for the stem, smaller for embellishing the petals) Foam letters (for your summer message) A reused frame (square or any shape of your choice) Scissors Hot glue gun Creating your summer flower decoration Cut the Tube and Shape the Petals :  Start by cutting the paper towel tube into four evenly-sized sections. Each section will serve as a petal. You should be left with four rings. Next, flatten each ring, then gently reshape it to form soft ovals. These will mimic delicate flower...

From Trash to Treasure: DIY Faux Stained Glass Garden Decor

 Today, I’m so excited to share a heart-centered project that turns a simple household item into an elevated piece of garden art. We are transforming a basic plastic plate into a vibrant, faux stained glass sun-catcher that sparkles in the sun. This project perfectly captures the "treasure from trash" philosophy, proving that you don’t need expensive materials to create something beautiful for your outdoor space. Video tutorial coming soon Materials for Your Garden Treasure Clear Plastic Plate: Start with a basic household item ready for upcycling.  Black Glass Paint: This will be used to trace your intricate floral design.  Transparent Glass Paints: I chose a palette of soft lavender, pink, and emerald green for a natural look.  Heat Tool: This is essential for setting your paint layers quickly so you can keep creating.  Hanging Tools: You can use a hole punch, a soldering iron, or even a hot glue gun, depending on your preference.

2 Easy Ways to Upcycle Glass Jars into DIY Candle Lanterns

I love taking something I already have around the house and giving it a little new life. These two jars started out plain and simple, but with a bit of gallery glass paint, a few butterfly stickers, and some gems, they turned into the sweetest little candle holders. They’re soft, colorful, and full of that handmade charm — the kind of gift that feels personal and thoughtful without being tied to any specific occasion. I used battery‑operated candles inside each jar, which gives them a warm, cozy glow while keeping things safe and easy. They’re perfect for gifting or adding a gentle touch of light to your own space. Video tutorial coming soon... Sometimes the smallest projects bring the softest kind of joy. In today’s quick video, I’m sharing how I decorated a few glass candle holders using paint, stickers, and little gem accents. It’s an easy, calming DIY that adds a warm glow to any corner of your home. I hope it inspires you to create something simple and beautiful for your own spac...
