9 Projects, One TIRED crafter!

I know it is turkey month, but I need a minute to bask in my SYTYC projects!  Will you give me a basking moment?  

The final round is on, and I am IN IT!  Whoop Whoop!   I have really enjoyed this competition, it has been a lot of work, but a good challenge!
UPDATE:  I was runner up this season, and I really could not be more excited!
Through this process, I have learned I am a pretty practical person.  I tried to do projects that were on my to do list, or  that I thought would be useful in my home. As a result I knocked down some big projects on my to do list! (Sa-WEET)!  I figured that way even if I lose, I still win, you know what I mean?  So here are my projects!

Audition Project!

I made this Bean Bag toss game as part of a Local Assisted Living Center vacation week!

Week 1: Dollar Store
I created these CAR ACTIVITIES out of Dollar Store items!  Since I live in a rural area, we are constantly on the road, and these car games have come in handy!

Week 2: Thrift Store
 I made Dress Up Suitcases to keep my kids dress up clothes in order... well at least hidden!!

Week 3: Knock Off
 I made a dinnerware rack inspired by Anthropology!

Week 4: Just Scraps
 I made a purse organizer, it has been so nice to keep all my junk stuff in my purse in order!

Week 5: Upcycle
I did a piano makeover on my warn out beat up piano!  I just love the red color, it is such a fun piece in my home!


Week 6: Fall Colors
 I made these beautiful Fall Windows, using leaves and pictures of my kids!


Week 7: Kids Can Do


We had the funnest family Drive In Movie night!  I have not blogged about this yet, but will eventually!   This was probably my favorite project in this competition because I was able to use my children's creativity!

Week 8: Hard Ware Store Week

I redid my hardwood floors, that are nearly a century year old!  I will post about this probably after the holidays.

Week 9: Wild Card

???????????????????

GUESS WHAT  MY PROJECT IS?

I revamped this grandfather clock, my sister found at a garage sale for $15


Thanks for all of your support, patience, and encouragement through this process!
I would also like to give a big THANK YOU to Missy for putting this together!  Also, it has been so fun to meet some AMAZING talented crafters!

  9. I need to know the details on your hardwood floor redo! That is EXACTLY what I want in my dining room!

  10. April, this floor was a lot of work, but it is definitely worth it... I am probably not going to post it until January (for my own selfish reasons, nothing in December gets featured unless it is Christmas). But if you need to know before then I will be happy to give you some pointers.
