Dare to Do It Yourself Blog Party

I am SO excited about a blog party hosted by the Newly Woodwards this holiday season. It's called the Dare to Do it Yourself Blog Party. Each week, we will post a DIY challenge that coincides with the holiday. We will link up, then visit at least one other blog and post a comment. This way we can meet LOTS of people in the blogging world and see their great ideas. The DIY dares are pretty good- they don't seem overly time consuming, but will allow us to flex our creative muscles. Did I mention, I'm super excited?

Here's the schedule (As posted by the Newly Woodwards)

Party Date: Monday, Nov. 16Dare to… be thankful!Take some time making your own DIY Thanksgiving project. It could be a fun Thanksgiving advent calendar, a banner or something completely unique. Post about what you made, how you made it and photos in its new home.

Party Date: Monday, Nov. 23Dare to… entertain!Show us your table! If you are not hosting Thanksgiving, take this opportunity to make your table look great. Bring out your dishes and napkins and set your table. I promise you that it will make you smile every time you walk by. Get creative and use new things. Or go true DIY and make something totally new.

Party Date: Monday, Nov. 30Dare to… eat cookies!As we begin to attend holiday parties, share your favorite cookie recipe for all to enjoy. It’s like a digital cookie swap. Share the recipe and a review of the cookie. If you can, add a picture. And don't worry about the extra calories. At Christmas, cookies are calorie-free.

Party Date: Monday, Dec. 7Dare to… give homemade gifts!Nothing is more special than a gift made by you. Try out something new to give this year - ideas include bath and body items, kitchen gifts, hand-sewn clothing or home decor.

Party Date: Monday, Dec. 14Dare to… deck the halls!Make something new to deck your halls. Did you find something in a catalog that you wish you had? Wreaths, stockings, pillows or advent calendars? Make it! Inspire us all to do the same.

Party Date: Monday, Dec. 21Dare to… have traditions!Everyone has traditions for the Holidays. Tell us all about your favorites or start a new tradition to share.

Hop over and link up! It's going to be FUN!
