My 12 Favorite Projects from my first 200 Posts

I can’t believe that I posted my 200th post last week!  I started blogging in January of 2012, and I am still loving it!  (I’m also still trying to find a balance between computer time and family time–but I’ll get it figured out.)

In celebration of my 200th post, I searched my archives to find my twelve favorite projects from the past.  Anyone recognize these?  To my readers who have been around since the beginning, thanks for sticking with me!  I hope you recognize a few of these posts.  To my new readers, I hope you find something that inspires you!

I’ve updated the pictures in many of these posts, so I hope you’ll find new favorites to pin.

Here we go–in order of oldest to newest:

DIY Repairing Scuffed Shoes

This post still makes me laugh.  The day after I finished the shoes, my daughter decided to “share” the glitter with her friends at school.  They picked off almost all of the glitter, and I had to do it again.  Before sending her to school in the new pair, I had to explain–“Sharing is nice, but we don’t have to destroy our clothing to do it!”
