2014 Winter Categorically Crafting Party

Welcome to the

  WINTER Categorically Crafting Show  

where you can show off all of your fun ideas for

Winter!

Please join your crafty post if, and only if, it corresponds with the category and theme of Winter. We would love to see any craft projects, clothing, décor, activities, gift ideas, or food ideas that correlate with Winter! (If it doesn't fit in this specific category though, you are welcome to link it up to Whatever Goes Wednesday.) If you have joined a project that fits this theme to a party on my blog before, feel free to add it to this show too! If you have a lot of projects to show off, please choose your favorites. Remember to link to the specific posts, not to your main blog page. This makes it easier for readers to find your awesome ideas.

Let's see what you have created (either recently or in the past)!

This linky will be open until February 28, 2015, so keep checking back for more inspiration!

You can paste the "Categorically Crafting" button onto your blog post. I would love to see these floating around so more people can post their themed projects. Keep checking back for more ideas!!!

Wrapping Paper Wreath



I'm always so amazed at all the materials bloggers use to make wreaths! The Enchanting Rose used wrapping paper to create this festive wreath for the holidays. What a neat idea!

GIVEAWAY DIRECTORY 

Don't forget to check out the Giveaway Directory tomorrow! It amazes me how few people enter giveaways. This is your chance at free stuff! FYI, this link is only open for two days. If you are going to do a giveaway and want to feature it here, make sure you link it up sometime on Thursday or Friday.

CATEGORICALLY CRAFTING

As much as I don't want summer to end, it's time to admit that fall is just right around the corner. Come join the Fall Categorically Crafting Party and get some crafty inspiration.

Thanksgiving will be here soon, so let's see all of your ideas. Come link up anything related to Thanksgiving at the Thanksgiving Categorically Crafting Party.

It snowed here for the first time yesterday and then we're dealing with freezing daytime temps for at least the next few days. I guess it's time to face the fact that winter is almost here, so I'll open the Winter Categorically Crafting Party this Friday.

ON TO THE PARTY!

You know what to do. Enter your project (up to 4 links), tip, idea, recipe, whatever. Visit others. Leave comments. PLEASE NO ETSY SHOPS! Come back again in the next few days as more projects are added throughout the week. Let the fun begin! Because blogging is not my full-time job, I will not be able to visit every link. I apologize for that because I know you all work so hard and take the time to link up here and I appreciate it! Also, we'll be highlighting our favorites throughout the week, so be sure to check back periodically! :)

Pallet Christmas Tree

The baby is quite mobile now, and I'm a little afraid of setting up our Christmas Tree. I can just see him grabbing the ornaments, the tree skirt, the cords, pulling the tree over on himself, etc. I think an atypical tree that can be hung on the wall, like this one from Redhead Can Decorate, might be on the list for this year.

 

See the Pallet Christmas Tree.

Turkey Fruit Platter

Okay, how adorable is this little fruit turkey from The First Year?! He'd be the hit of your Thanksgiving festivities - almost too cute to eat.

How to Make Pumpkin Puree



Now that Halloween is over, you might be thinking of how to store those pumpkins that are lining your stairs. The Seasoned Homemaker has a great post about how to turn pumpkins into pumpkin puree for things like pie, cheesecake, cookies, etc.
