The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 153

 Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #153! 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! How was your week? I hope you all had a nice week. I've decided to completely dig up my flowerbeds and start each of them over next growing season. The heat did a number on my flowers this growing season. Our grass also did not do well this year. So now we are left with so many decisions about what to do next. 
I'm excited to share the wonderful featured posts with everyone. As always, thank you to each of you who participates in the party each week.

Congratulations  to our featured bloggers

    Thank you for featuring my Agua Fresca ~ fresh Watermelon & Lime drink! And thanks for bringing us this linky party each Friday (which is when I do my "big" grocery shopping, so all the recipe posts help me plan next week's dinners). Enjoy what's left of Summer and I'll catch y'all again next week!

    This was a hard year for gardens with too much drought in the west and too much rain in the east and too much high heat all around! This year our part of Colorado also saw an large amount ot bears that came into the suburbs looking for food as the foot hills were not producing berries, etc, for them due to anearly spring freeze and drought. They eat everything, as do the the deer.

      Pat, yes, it was very rough this summer due to the drought. We saw a lot of bears in our area as well, roaming neighborhoods and digging through trash cans. You are so right, they sure do eat everything. Thank you for joining us at the party; it's always appreciated.

    I know--the heat did a number on our grass, too. Sigh. I don't know about you guys down there, but here we got a ton of rain yesterday. It helps. I just wish we'd get a nice afternoon downpour every day for 20 minutes. ha ha Thanks so much for hosting this wonderful link party. I shared 17 and 18 this time. Off now to see what others have shared and leave some comment love. Wishing you a lovely weekend.

      Jennifer, thank you. I agree, I wish we could have a daily downpour for 20 minutes. That would help the lawn and everything cool down. As always, thank you for joining the party. We're always happy to have you join us here.

    Stephanie, thank you for featuring our shared tea party al fresco! You’ve made my day! After a winter-spring drought we’ve endured almost daily deluges. Gardening is not for the faint-hearted!

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...
