Looking Back on 2013

Welcome to 2014!  Today I’m going to share some of my favorite Craftivity Designs projects and moments from the past year. Here we go…

January

DIY Botanical Chart

I love this botanical chart that Lora created for her guest bedroom.  The colors are so cheerful!

February

Chalkboard Jars

I had so much fun making these Anthropologie knock-off chalkboard jars using baby food jars.  

March

100+ Crafts for Adults

I really enjoy getting to post each week on Kick-Off Friday.  It gives me the chance to see what other bloggers are up to and share those great project ideas with you.

April

Family Wall Calendar

If you’re looking for a way to be more organized during 2014, you should definitely check out Lora’s post on how to create a large family wall calendar.  I love the personal touches she added like the game pieces for numbers and animal push pins.

May

Ikea Cabinet Makeover

This was probably my favorite project I did all year.  I love how it drastically changed the cabinet and gave it a great pop of color!

June

Bridal Shower Games

I love this vintage bridal shower that Lora hosted for her Sister-in-Law. It was beautiful! Check out details about the food, games, and decorations used at the shower.

July

Neutral Home Tour

July was a busy month for Lora as she announced that she and her family were moving from their lovely home in Lexington to a new town.  She spent the next few weeks preparing her home to be sold and even shared many house selling tips such as open house tips, curb appeal tips, and easy staging tips.

August 

Bow and Bow Ties Baby Shower

During August, I shared about the double baby shower I hosted for my two sister-in-laws.  I loved getting to plan this event and create all of the fun decorations (also check out the food and games).  

September

Polka Dot Ampersand

I’m a sucker for polka dots, especially gold ones! This project was fun to create and was one of my first projects that used a metallic paint marker.

October

31 Days of Free Printables

If you missed our series of free printables, be sure to go back and check it out!  Lora and I both enjoyed creating these prints whether they be for a kitchen, a gift, a bathroom, or a gallery wall.

November

Birthday Celebration

Our first birthday.  It was fun to look back and see how our posts from the beginning to the end of the year changed. Check out our birthday edition of Kick-Off Friday to see what inspires us as bloggers.

DIY Clay Chalkboard

Later in the month, Lora shared this adorable DIY clay chalkboard.  This was her first project using clay but since then, she has shared a few others, you can see all of the clay projects here.

December

DIY Candlestick Jewelry Stand

Recently, I shared my Kate Spade-inspired jewelry tray which was made from a plate, a bowl, and a candlestick holder.  This works great for organizing my jewelry on my vanity.

Thanks for making 2013 such a special first year in our blogging adventures!  Have a wonderful Wednesday!
