Our top 10 projects of 2013

January 6, 2014 By: Melanie

        Good news!  

                      We did not forget that we have an awesome blog and just abandon you!
                             We did take a pretty long holiday break though.  Can I still say
                                                 HAPPY NEW YEAR!?

Steff and I combined forces almost a year ago and named our creative insanity Find it, Make it, Love it.  We love this little blog of ours, and are so happy to have you following along with us! 2013 was awesome-we have learned so much and totally realize we have so much to learn still. We are excited to dive into 2014 and have so many fun ideas to share!
But first, we want to post our top 10 projects from the last year. Hooray! These are the projects that had the most views, pins, shares and features in no particular order.

                                           

Household re-purpose: Water balloon pump
This re-purposed shampoo pump almost didn’t make it onto the blog, I debated whether it was share worthy for days.  It worked so well though, so onto the blog it went.  And rocked!  It surprised us and got tons of views, pins and features!  Woo hoo!  This is the kind of idea that motivated me to start a craft blog in the first place.  A good idea worth sharing.

DIY Purse Caddy
Um, you need one of these in your purse or diaper bag.  Steff and I use ours almost every day!  So convenient, cheap and easy.  We did a YouTube tutorial for this too!

Lego Birthday Party

Student desks turned craft table
I maybe should have the craft FAIL picture associated with this project here instead of the finished project.  These desks gained so much attention from a craft FAIL feature.  Who knew a DIY gone wrong would get so much love?  Check it out if you haven’t seen the how these came to be. 🙂

Printed Burlap Monogram

DIY Bubbles and Bubble Wands
Another surprise attention grabber.  This is the post that first got us noticed by the lifestyle TV show Fresh Living.  We were camping, the background is not ideal, the kids were dirty, but the bubbles were AWESOME!  We love to laugh that of all the painting, and crafty projects we’ve done, it was bubbles that got us on TV!  We’ll take it!  So much fun!  We are very proud to say we’ve been on Fresh Living a total of 4 times since the bubble post!  See our other segments HERE, HERE, and HERE if you’d like. 🙂
Ruffle Curtains Tutorial
These are the first curtains I convinced my husband to try, and he is now converted to curtainism.  I still love, love them in my front room and they only cost $10!!


Master Bedroom Makeover

Chalk Paint
This chalk paint tutorial is our #1 YouTube video by far!   We are thrilled with the success it has had!  Our video theory is to keep it short and to the point.  We will not be rambling on and on about how a project came to be via video tutorial.  This little cabinet has held up perfectly in Steff’s family room.  DIY chalk paint is seriously one of my favorite technique’s ever!

Sweater Trees
Sweater trees that were FREE!  Another project that totally hits home for me and why I wanted to blog in the first place.  Loved having them up for Christmas. 🙂

Did you see all these over the last year?
  We are so thankful for you supporting our creative whims in 2013 and hope you will stick around for more with us in 2014!  It’s gonna be awesome. 🙂

    Bobbie, the tallest sweater tree is 20 inches and the shortest is 10 inches. 🙂 Hope that helps!
