The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 118

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #118! This party offers a platform for sharing inspiring content, including recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home décor, and other uplifting ideas.

A Few Happenings


My youngest's volleyball team has won every game since the start of the season. We're so proud of her and her team. We have two more games left this season.

This week, someone slammed our side fence with their motorcycle. Thank goodness for cameras! My husband went over to check if the individual was okay, and now we have made arrangements to get them to pay for the damage.

It snowed for two days, and we were happy for the moisture.

I tried a copycat version of the Starbucks sugar plum Danish recipe, and it turned out great! Instead of plum, I used black cherry jam. It was equally delicious. 



Congratulations to our featured bloggers

Jennifer at Studio 27 showcased her adorable Faux Mini Gingerbread Houses. She explains how she created these charming little houses using air-dry clay and a few other materials.


Life of 2 Snowbirds shared a travel post about Saguaro National Park in Tucson, Arizona. I really enjoyed this post because I spent a lot of time in Tucson when I lived in Arizona for many years. It’s filled with great details!

Melynda at Scratchmade Food for Hungry People shared her delightful recipe for Whole Wheat Jam Crumble Bars. These bars sound delicious! You can choose your favorite jam and enjoy the treat.

Lisa Notes wrote a post titled "Learning to Hold onto What Matters: My Four Somethings for November." Join her as she reflects on what she loved, learned, what went well, and what she decided to let go of.

    Ugh about your fence and the motorcycle accident! That's great that you had camera footage of it. Glad no one was hurt (other than your fence). And congrats to your daughter's volleyball team. Hope they can keep the perfect record through the next two games.
    Thanks for featuring my post from last week!

      Lisa, thanks. Yeah, it was a total shock when it happened. I'm also glad the person was okay. And thanks so much for your sweet words about my daughter and her volleyball team. We hope they can keep that record too. I hope you're doing well, and we really enjoyed your post.

    Your Danish sounds delicious Stephanie! Wow snow, we're in a heat wave here on the East coast of Australia at the moment with bushfires raging not far from us.

    Thank you for hosting. I'm sitting at #12 this week.
    Blessings, Jennifer

      Jennifer, thank you. The Danish was certainly tasty. I'm sorry to hear about the bushfires that are happening near your area. I pray that they are able to get them under control soon. Thank you for being a part of the party.

    Dear Stephanie, Thanks for hosting the #118 blogparty. My shares this time are #13, 14, and 15. Love the feature about Saguaro National Park as I live in Tucson. Must admit I think the eastside of the park is tops. Happy Holidays and be well.

    It's so good of you to care for the motor rider. But indeed, he should pay for damages to your fence.

    Congrats to your volleyball player - and her proud mama, too! What a fabulous season! So glad you had that camera and that the motorcycle driver was safe! You reminded me about those danishes!

    I tried several times to post, but I can see your features and the comments but it says error 500 instead of link to click to post. I'll try again later (my computer sometimes has a mind of its own)

      Hi Cindy,
      I'm sorry to hear about the 500 error. I've noticed that the Inlinkz website has been experiencing this issue several times recently. The party will remain open until Tuesday at 11 PM MST, so please feel free to try again anytime before then. It seems to be working again now. :)

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this...

If you love finding new DIY ideas and learning from other bloggers, you’re in the perfect spot! Hi everyone! How was your week? This week, we were blessed with more rain, and I am so thankful. It's been a hot summer with wildfires and droughts, so it's nice to have a few days to cool down a bit. Below, I've shared two photos that I posted on my Instagram story. The first one shows one of our lovely hummingbirds relaxing on the swing near the feeder. I love watching them from our dining room window. In the second photo, we had another visitor at the feeder, and the sunlight shining through the window that evening was absolutely beautiful. I'd say this week was a nice one. Congratulations  to ou...
