I cannot believe it’s November.  Christmas music is already playing throughout the office where I work (regardless of my self-imposed rule to not listen to ONE Christmas song prior to Thanksgiving), and it seems like everyone is gearing up for the holidays. 

This week was a whirlwind.  It was crazy nuts – both in personal life and in work – and I didn’t feel that I could grasp onto one shred of extra time.  I happened to be out with the flu on Monday and Tuesday, helped my sister-in-law with some crafty projects on Wednesday, and prepped for houseguests last night.

AND there was the Pinterest Challenge. I want to say again how honored I was to host such a fun occasion for you all and I have REALLY enjoyed going through the projects you’ve submitted.  That’s why this week, my Friday Faves are a collection of some of my favorite pinterest challenge submissions.  It was so difficult to pick just a few.  There were so many other things I wanted to include, and so many AMAZING projects you guys did – doesn’t it feel good??   I picked these six faves mostly because they’re things I’ve had in my mind to do around here, and you guys did them so well, they inspired me to put them on my list!

no. 1 eraser art monogram – the lil house that could; no. 2 yellow table turned bar cart – it’s overflowing; no. 3 greek key roman shades – the nesting game; no. 4 burlap garland – june and bear; no. 5 abstract art – the embellished nest; no. 6 christmas ornament chandelier – the crafted niche.

I double, triple thank you to everyone who participated!  I was OVERWHELMED with your sweet comments and was so proud to have you all link up to the site.  If you weren’t able to participate this time, I think Sherry and Katie might be drumming up a winter edition for January, so keep your eyes peeled over at Young House Love and Bower Power. 

Have a CRAZY AWESOME Friday and Weekend – see you Monday!
