The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 120

 Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #120! This party offers a platform for sharing inspiring content, including recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home décor, and other uplifting ideas.

**A Quick Note About the Party:** The party will remain open until December 26th of this month. Typically, each person shares three posts, but you are welcome to revisit and add more if you'd like during this time. If we reach 50 posts, the party will close at that point. If not, it will stay open until the 26th and will reopen on Friday, January 2, 2026.

I hope you are all doing well. I can’t believe this month is almost over, and a new year is just around the corner. If I had to describe this year in one word, it would be "growth."  I've encountered many beautiful experiences that have created cherished memories. I hope this year has treated you well. As you head into the new year, remember that you are loved. I am truly thankful for each of you. Thank you for joining the party each week and sharing your wonderful posts. You are all amazing!

This week, while I was getting an estimate for our fence repair, a little squirrel popped his head over the fence with a peanut in his mouth. I took a picture and then used a filter on my phone to add two different hat styles for him to wear. I did this for my youngest daughter, and I hope it brings a smile to your face, just as it did to mine!

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 154

  Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #154! I’m so happy you’re here! This is a warm and friendly gathering where you can share your amazing ideas—whether it's tasty recipes, fun family activities, creative crafts, home projects, or any other joyful inspirations. 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...

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...

Simple Diy Autumn Tree.

Simple DIY Autumn Tree With just a few materials you can create this simple Autumn tree. My inspiration for this project was my love for Fall. I created this using materials from my local Dollar Tree store. Materials needed 🍁 Ribbon 🍁Fall leaves (I picked up 10 bundles) 🍁Mini lights/ I used mini leaf lights 🍁Twine 🍁 1 Plunger 🍁1 pot 🍁Scissors 🍁Hot glue   Creating your Autumn tree Start by wrapping your twine around your plunger stick.  You'll want to completely cover the wooden stick. Once you're near the middle of the stick, you'll want to stop and start attaching your fall leaves. Take each leaf bundle, and glue it to your plunger stick. You'll want to have some that are glued closer to the top and a few that are lower. This will help fill in spots.   Once you have all the leaves glued on, take the rest of your twine and cover the stems on your leaf bundle. Continue wrapping them, making sure to cover the stems. Using your scissors cut the remaining twine o...
