Friday’s Favs…looking back on some favorite projects

Today I’m looking back at ten of my favorite things that I’ve made or made over this past year

with links to the original posts.

I continue to make and use my own Homemade Lavender Scented Laundry Soap

It’s economical, cleans well and smells great!

This simple white wooden box, made for me by my handyman son-in-law

is still one of my favorite things to decorate with.

(ok, so I didn’t make this one myself)

The makeover of my old wooden rocking chair continues to make me smile.  I love it.

I’ve done a few projects with driftwood…

these boats and this sign.

and this driftwood hanger.

All it took was some Dollar Tree contact paper to give this shelf a quick, easy, cute makeover.

I “vintage-ized” two thrift store wooden caddys, this one…

and this wooden caddy.

This simple project to display some ironstone saucers is still one of my favorite pieces of wall décor.

I wonder what projects 2012 has in store.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE and HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND!

  6. Your projects this year have been so creative and so sweet, Elizabeth! I adore your vignettes, too. :) Thanks for leaving your sweet comments on my blog regularly. I know I don't always get over here to respond and visit with you...but know that I truly appreciate you and look forward to hearing from you. That post I just put up made me all teary eyed when a friend emailed it to me. It touched my heart so, that I had to share with my Christian blogging sisters. :) Have a safe and happy New Year, my friend!
