First off, thanks for all the great comments and features of my painted floors. I have loved reading all of the comments and will probably be posting a follow up in a few weeks to answer some questions several of you have had.
In other news… I didn’t make it through this week’s challenge on One Month to Win It. I really enjoyed my time in the contest – particularly the extra incentive to try to be really creative and do something different each week. On the other hand, it was hard work trying to be really creative and do something different each week. So it is nice to have a break.
But I do have one last (awesome) project to share from the competition.
This past week’s theme was banners and buntings. (Okay, so first of all, pennants, banners, buntings – do they all mean the same thing? I never seem to know which word to use.) But when I think about banners and bunting, I think about happiness and summer. This sure isn’t summer so I decided a really cheerful project was in order. Because everyone can use an extra dose of sunshine in the dead of winter.
