The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 135

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #135! 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!


Hello everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful week. We celebrated our oldest daughter's 15th birthday. I let her know that you all shared those sweet birthday wishes with her, and she thanks you and truly appreciates it. I baked her a cookie cake, and we enjoyed dinner at Applebee's. My mom sent us a gift card, so we didn't have to decide what to have for dinner that day. She really made things easy!


As always, thank you to everyone who joins in each week. I appreciate each of you. You truly make this party wonderful.

I've enjoyed visiting each of your blogs and seeing what's new in the blogging world. We have some great features this week.

    1. Jennifer, thank you. It's hard to believe that she's 15 now. Yes, when I first learned about cookie cakes and just how delicious they were, my husband had purchased me one from a local mall years ago. It was wonderful. Yes, look it up; they are wonderful.

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. Twine: This provides a simple...

Easy Faux Floral Centerpiece

There’s something so satisfying about taking a simple little Dollar Tree crate — especially one that’s already lived a previous craft life — and turning it into something elegant and fresh. This easy faux floral centerpiece came together in just a few minutes, and it’s the perfect project if you want a pretty pop of color without spending much at all. Quick video tutorial coming soon Materials I Used One Dollar Tree wooden crate (mine was already painted black from an older craft) Twine Faux florals in light and dark pinks One foam block (pre‑cut or trimmed to fit) One artificial topiary bunny (optional, but adorable) Adhesive of your choice Floral cutters How to Make It Step 1: Wrap the Twine Start by wrapping twine around the top section of your crate. I like to keep it simple — just a few neat wraps to add a little rustic texture against the black paint. Tie it off in the back or secure the ends with a dab of adhesive so everything stays in place. Step 2: Add the Foam and Florals Pl...

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...
