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.

    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)

Keeping Blogging Positive: The Do’s and Don’ts of Community Support

The Do’s and Don’ts in a Blogging Community If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years of blogging, it’s that the community can be one of the best parts of the whole experience — when we’re actually supporting each other. Blogging isn’t just hitting publish and hoping someone reads it. It’s connecting, showing up for one another, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome to share their voice. But let’s be honest: not every corner of the blogging world feels that way. Sometimes people forget that behind every blog is a real person doing their best. So I wanted to put together a simple, down‑to‑earth list of do’s and don’ts — the things that genuinely help build a positive blogging community, and the things that… well, don’t. Nothing complicated, nothing dramatic. Just the kind of common‑sense, supportive habits that make blogging more enjoyable for all of us. The Do’s: How We Can Lift Each Other Up Do show support in ways that feel natural to you Support doesn’t have to b...

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space?  Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree. I completed this craft a while ago, but forgot to share it with you. It's an easy project, and all the materials—except for the spray paint—were purchased at Dollar Tree. You can make this lovely decoration in just 10 minutes. Let’s get started on this succulent decoration together! Materials -One baking pan -Spray paint -Stones/rocks -Crushed glass -Artificial succulents -One glass candle holder Start by applying spray paint to the baking pan. I had a bronze color from a previous project, and it would be a great opportunity to use it again. When applying spray paint, make sure to cover the surrounding area and ensure that the space is well-ventilated.  Once you have painted the pan, allow the paint to dry. I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...

Transform your glass garlic jars into multi-functional pin cushions with storage by following this creative and practical DIY tutorial. You will learn how to repurpose these jars into stylish and useful organization tools for sewing or crafting supplies. Hello everyone! A while ago, I purchased some pin cushions from my local Dollar Tree and stored them away, completely forgetting about them.
