Whatever Goes Wednesday #257

Welcome to this crazy day of linky love and blog exploration! I love to see what is new out there in blog land. Get started clicking away to view everyone's creations!

Please stick around and click on at few a links before leaving. Don't be a link-and-run blogger!

MOST VIEWED LINK LAST WEEK

Halfway to Hipster shared this cute thrift store skirt makeover. I wish I had a knack for finding things at a thrift store!

 

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

Winter is definitely here to stay, and it may be a long one (at least in our neck of the woods). Come party at the Winter Categorically Crafting Party and get some fun seasonal ideas! 

Valentine's Day is a exactly a month away, so I thought a Valentine's Day Categorically Crafting Party would be in order. I'm already seeing lots of ideas floating around in blogland, so come join the party!

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! :)

Mason Jar Sewing Kit

The idea of making your own self-contained sewing kit is so cute! This would be a great gift for a college student, missionary, anyone striking out on their own, someone who is just starting to sew. Living Chic on the Cheap has some great ideas for what to put in one.

DIY Candy Wrapper Coin Purse

My Newest Addiction made this super fun little coin purse using some candy wrappers and duct tape, What a cute idea!

Hot Fudge Brownie for Two

Maybe it's the pregnancy talking, but this ooey gooey stack of brownies from Life with the Crust Cut Off looks absolutely divine! I doubt I'll get around to making it before the baby gets here, but it's definitely going on my list of recipes to try.

How to Make Your Own Twister Game

Delineate Your Dwelling has an easy way to make your own Twister game. It would be so fun to make one to go along with your specific party theme or colors!

Wash Tub Kitchen Island

Magazine Your Home brilliantly turned an old wash tub into a kitchen island - complete with hideaway storage. Such a unique idea!

DIY Painted Stair Runner

Pieced Pastimes ripped up the carpet from their stairs, gave them a makeover, and then painted on a faux stair runner. I think it's absolutely gorgeous!
