My friend Kim is hosing a DIY blog party. While certainly isn’t a craft blog, I love to make stuff and meet new people.
Each of the 6 weeks leading up to Christmas has a different theme to DIY. Check it out {blatently copied from NewlyWoodwards}:
Monday, Nov. 16: Dare to… be thankful!
Take some time making your own DIY Thanksgiving project. It could be a fun Thanksgiving advent calendar, a banner or something completely unique. Post about what you made, how you made it and photos in its new home.
Monday, Nov. 23: Dare to… entertain!
Show us your table! If you are not hosting Thanksgiving, take this opportunity to make your table look great. Bring out your dishes and napkins and set your table. I promise you that it will make you smile every time you walk by. Get creative and use new things. Or go true DIY and make something totally new.
Monday, Nov. 30: Dare to… eat cookies!
As we begin to attend holiday parties, share your favorite cookie recipe for all to enjoy. It’s like a digital cookie swap. Share the recipe and a review of the cookie. If you can, add a picture. And don’t worry about the extra calories. At Christmas, cookies are calorie-free.
Monday, Dec. 7: Dare to… give homemade gifts!
Nothing is more special than a gift made by you. Try out something new to give this year – ideas include bath and body items, kitchen gifts, hand-sewn clothing or home decor.
Monday, Dec. 14: Dare to… deck the halls!
Make something new to deck your halls. Did you find something in a catalog that you wish you had? Wreaths, stockings, pillows or advent calendars? Make it! Inspire us all to do the same.
Monday, Dec. 21: Dare to… have traditions!
Everyone has traditions for the Holidays. Tell us all about your favorites or start a new tradition to share.
I have no idea what I’m doing for each of the 6 weeks but will figure something out. And isn’t the schemeing half the fun?? {Maybe that’s just me.}

YAY! Should be fun> Thanks for the post, I know you will come up with super great stuff. I remember all your awesome wedding things.
Actually, Your centerpieces would make an awesome Thanksgiving centerpiece. Or, anytime for that matter. =) Don’t think I’ve forgotten those.
So fun to meet new bloggers through this! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
I’m so not crafty, but I may do a couple of these post ideas in a show of support for you brave ladies. By the way, thank you for your honest (and educated) opinion on my door dilemma!
