The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 144

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #144! 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!

Happy Friday, blogging friends! How was your week?


Last week, we celebrated my husband's birthday, and I made an ice cream cake for the occasion. While we were shopping, our youngest daughter found a delicious blend of coffee and cookies and cream ice cream. 

It was definitely a hit! Since my husband loves coffee, the combination of coffee flavor with cookies and cream was just perfect. What's your favorite ice cream flavor?

 

As always, we had wonderful posts shared at last week's party. I took the time to visit every single post, and I always enjoy connecting with all of you. 


Congratulations to our featured bloggers

    This is my first time to join in the party! Thanks for hosting! We just saw a series about the woman who hid Anne Frank's family. I was just thinking I should probably read Anne's diary again some time soon.

    Happy Birthday to your husband! My birthday was yesterday. Our favorite flavor ice cream is Breyers coffee flavor, and it is sometimes not easy to find for sale. We often find another brand that is coffee flavor to try when that happens.

      Pat, thank you so much. I'll let him know. Happy birthday 🎂 to you, Pat. I hope you had a beautiful day spent with your loved ones. I love that coffee-flavored Breyers ice cream. We ended up getting the Kroger brand coffee-flavored ice cream this time. Wishing you a beautiful weekend. Take care. 🤗

    Happy Friday. Thanks for hosting. We are fortunate to live not too far from a place that makes there own ice cream and it is so creamy. My favorite is chocolate but I love their ginger and peach.

    Ice Cream cakes are always a hit in our family too Stephanie. Although I'm the odd one out in that I'm not a fan of ice cream or chocolate preferring yogurt & nougat! Lol!
    Blessings, Jennifer

      Jennifer, I think yogurt and nougat sound delightful. Not everyone enjoys ice cream, so I completely understand your perspective. :) Thank you for being here at the party.

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...

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.
