Hi all! I hope you're all well. We've been very fortunate to have a few days of rain. I'm not sure if I'll plant vegetables this year. I may just have some potted herbs on the porch. Did you start your garden? If so, what did you plant? As always, thank you for joining the party. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend. 


Congratulations to our featured bloggers!

Croissant S’mores + Campfire Fun

Such a cozy little moment — the mix of croissants, chocolate, and firelight felt so playful and sweet. There’s a simple joy in gathering close, making treats, and letting the evening slow down around you. A truly heartwarming share.

Paarse Bloemetjes – Happy Trap

Those tiny purple blooms feel like a soft pause in the day — I love how something so small can brighten a moment and make you breathe a little easier. Such a lovely capture.

42nd Anniversary Reflections

Forty‑two years is such a tender, meaningful milestone. Cindy's reflections carry warmth, gratitude, and the gentle weight of a life built together. It’s a beautiful reminder of how love grows through seasons, memories, and everyday moments shared.

Lots to Love – 8" Baby Doll Playtime Set

Such a darling little set — every tiny piece feels thoughtfully made. There’s a comforting charm in handmade doll items, the kind that brings back simple joys and soft, creative moments. A truly lovely share.

  1. Thank you for sharing the photo of our 42nd anniversary dinner! Yes, it's been a roller-coaster adventure and we're definitely not the same people we were in 1984. I've dragged my husband so far out of his comfort zone that he forgot he had one! (Mr. "stay-at-home" has been shamed into para-sailing several times, camel riding and zip-lining {among other things} just by watching me do stuff and then giving in and doing it himself!) ~ not to mention me saying "why don't we move to Texas?" {20 years ago ~ we were doing cruises & taking layovers in Dallas from So.Cal, since our daughter was living here b/c she graduated SMU. So just picked up & moved in our 50s & was one of the best things we ever did!)* Catch y'all again next week!

  3. Hi Stephanie. I just have a couple of potted tomato plants on our patio. The temps have been up and down this past month so that may be all we do. Maybe some squash. Lots of rain here in Nevada recently, too, but we sure need it! Thanks for hosting each week--have a lovely weekend.

    1. It sounds like your little patio garden is doing just fine with all the weather ups and downs. Tomatoes and maybe a bit of squash feel just right for a year like this. I’m glad you’re getting the rain — even if it comes all at once, it’s such a gift in the desert. Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope your weekend is a gentle one. :)

  10. Our weather is just starting to warm up, so our planting is getting underway now. We haven't planted any veggies, yet, just flowers. Last year we planted pumpkins for the first time and it was so much fun. I hope to do it again!

    1. Hey Kim!
      Oh, I love this time of year when the weather finally warms up! Your flowers sound like a beautiful start. 🌸🌼
      I’ve actually never grown pumpkins before, but that sounds like so much fun! You absolutely have to do it again this year—there is nothing like turning a little seed into a fall treasure. Happy summer and garden fun! 🌱🤗

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...

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 156

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #156! I'm so happy you're here! This gathering is all about sharing what brings us joy.  Bring your delicious recipes, fun family moments, cozy crafts, and home projects—basically, everything wonderful you've been working on. Happy Friday! How was your week? I hope you’re doing well.  This week, we finally went to court about the damage to our fence. Honestly, no one likes to go to court, and we would have preferred to resolve this issue privately with the individual involved. He didn't cooperate, which ultimately led us to take him to court. We hope to finally move on from this situation. I can't wait to share the lovely featured posts with you all.  **Update** Looks like blogger has fixed the comment section. Yay! Blogger is having some issues with commenting. It shows "publishing..." when the button is hit and stays there for some time. As always, thank you all for joining! ⭐Congratulations to our featur...

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...
