Hi friends! I hope everyone had a blessed Holiday surrounded by loved ones, and hopefully you didn’t have to bust out the big pants at the back of your closet from eating too much!
Every week, we have been so amazed at what you come up with for our Get Your DIY on challenges. In fact, we have had so much fun, that we didn’t want it to end! If you stopped by our party last week, you may already know that we have decided to continue our Get Your DIY on themed link parties! Can I get a woohoo?!
There is one small change, however. Instead of weekly challenges, we will be hosting the first Sunday of each month. That gives us more time to get creative and really have fun with our themes! So don’t forget to mark your calendars!
Each party will run for two weeks. We will then share our features and the following month’s theme. Your projects will still be shared on all five blogs and all features will be posted to our Get Your DIY on Group Pinterest Board !
Our first party starts next Sunday, January 5th, and our theme is Organization. Perfectly fitting for January, don’t you think? I can think of several areas that need a fresh start for the new year!
Now who’s ready for some features?? Let’s start where it all began…

Hi Christy! It was so much fun participating in the Get Your DIY On parties and thank you so much again for featuring some of my projects. I’m excited that you and the ladies will be continuing in 2014 – I might not have something to share for the organization party but boy, do I need to FIND some organization! 🙂 I hope you and your family had the best holiday and wishing you much happiness for 2014. Enjoy the last Monday of the year!
