Happy Wednesday! Today, projects from last week’s craft challenge are being featured at Newly Woodwards and View Along the Way. Go check them out! I was seriously impressed with the projects this month. I know I would have a hard time choosing my favorites! Thank you to everyone who linked up. :)
And now for details about the last Random Acts of Craftiness challenge of 2012. (Remember that we’re taking a break for December and will pick back up again in January.) The challenge category for November is…
From the Grocery Store
Link party dates: Wednesday, November 28th—Sunday, December 2nd*
*This link party is staying open longer because I didn’t give you quite as much notice as last time. It’s also a busy time of year!
There are tons of possibilities for November’s category. You can use any packaging or non-food products, or even food itself! I am excited to tackle this one. Just remember that you want to aim for something fresh, not stale. Avoid the day-old section. But you could put your own spin on something that’s been done before!
November Cheerleader: I’ve invited Lady Gaga to be our cheerleader of the month. It only seemed fitting what with her inspiring meat dress. I, in fact, envision an entire meat room. I’ve always dreamed of lounging on a chaise made of ground turkey. That would be highly practical, no? (No.) Our real cheerleader this month is Karianne from Thistlewood Farms. She is a queen of creative and clever repurposing, and I’m thrilled she has agreed to cheer us on.
November Giveaway: All who link up this month are automatically entered in the giveaway. This month, it’s a handmade book from Hardcover Art. Each of Alma’s books (sketch books, photo albums, or journals) are made from vintage hardcover books. You can even send her a book that she will make into a notebook for you! Seeing this Nancy Drew one is a total blast from the past. I like to think that I could be Nancy Drew when I grow up. Do you think she and Kate Beckett trained together?
“My Favorite Challenge Project” Link Contest: Don’t forget that when all of this madness is over in April, we will have a “My Favorite Challenge Project” link party/contest, judged by Sarah of Thrifty Décor Chick. You will link up your favorite project(s), then Sarah will select 5 of HER favorite projects from that “best of” party, and then those 5 will then be voted on by YOU. The top project overall will win our final prize package, which contains 30 cans of Krylon spray paint and gift certificates to Fabric.com and Cutting Edge Stencils!
Finally, you don’t have to have participated in previous month’s challenges to participate now, so all are welcome. Drive to Wegmans immediately! They’re expecting you. ;)
Any questions? Are you in? Who plans to make a meat chaise?
*Psst…check out the September and October projects to see what participants have come up with so far!*

ReplyDeleteReally?! This is definitely going to be a challenge!! Although I'm going to quote my favourite show (HIMYM) and say "challenge accepted!"
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, I was just in the grocery store and found myself looking at random things in aisles I'm never in ... and thinking of your challenge. Before I even know it was the challenge. Hmmmmm, fun challenge!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I feel like this one is going to be really hard! A bunch of ideas popped into my head, but they aren't original at all.
ReplyDeleteI love Cassie.
ReplyDeleteI'm too stumped. I'll ponder this if and when I'm ever mucus free.
This one sounds fun! There are soooo many options....
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Now that's got me thinking. Meat dress - done. Cabbage centerpiece - done. How about a pretzel candleholder?
ReplyDeleteI think I will be joining this fun challenge!
ReplyDeleteCan you share an example because all I can think of are macaroni necklackes?
