Hi creative friends,
If you are new here, welcome…. and thanks for joining us
for the Create, Bake, Grow & Gather party.
This is where we gather each week to share our love of homemade,
home-baked, home grown and all things we’ve gathered.
There is always so much creative inspiration to be found
at this party, from crafty projects to delicious recipes,
decorative make-overs and gorgeous home décor.
I’m sure you’ll be creatively inspired!
Don’t forget to PIN directly from the original source.
I’m pinning many of the shares to my party board
Create, Bake, Grow & Gather board too.
This past week I’ve slowed right down to simply breathe… and
enjoy all the magic of Christmas with my girls and grandchildren.
I shared a last look at the design team projects using the Cottage Days.

MaryJo from Masterpieces of My Life
MaryJo shared a wonderfully inspiring post on thrifting for a New Year’s celebration, showing how you can create a swanky and festive setting without spending a fortune.
By sourcing just a few key second-hand pieces, she proves that a magical New Year’s atmosphere can be both stylish and budget-friendly.
Such a clever and creative approach to celebrating in style!
Jennifer from Shoreline Journeys
Jennifer brought a little holiday escape to the party with her copycat mini Caprese pizzas.
These bite-sized treats are perfect for entertaining and instantly evoke that relaxed vacation feeling.
Fresh, simple, and full of flavour, this recipe is a lovely reminder that sometimes the simplest dishes are the most delicious.
Missy from Sonata Home Design
Missy shared a beautiful decorating idea that gently bridges the gap between Christmas and winter.
Her post on decorating with snowshoes shows how to transition your home from festive holiday décor into a calm, cosy winter look.
It’s such a charming and thoughtful way to extend the seasonal warmth well beyond Christmas.
Stephanie from Crazy Little Lovebirds
Stephanie delighted us with a clever upcycling project, transforming a simple spam can into lovely winter floral décor.
While her project has a Christmas feel, the technique itself is so versatile and could easily be used all year round.
A fantastic reminder of how creativity and repurposing can turn everyday items into something beautiful.
Estelle from Homemade on a Weeknight
Estelle shared a very practical and helpful post filled with kitchen tips, tricks, and hacks designed to help recreate successful recipes time and time again.
These are the kinds of clever insights that make everyday cooking easier and more enjoyable, and they’re sure to be bookmarked by many readers!
Join us each week at Create, Bake, Grow & Gather…
