Following the 30 Days of Thanksgiving, I embarked on a Pinterest Challenge. I had intended to aim for at least one project a week for a month but ended up doing until the end of 2012 because it was just so much fun! Being on a no-TV and limited-FB media fast since mid Aug has allowed for chunks of time for cooking and gifting. It's been very gratifying to be more productive with my discretionary time.
Here are my Pinterest-inspired completed projects:
