November 2012 Crafty Round-Up

December is already here, bringing with it all the holiday fun of the season. Halloween is my favorite holiday, but as I grow older, Christmas is taking a very close second and might overtake it soon. It's bittersweet to celebrate the holiday traditions with my boys as they grow up - the traditions mean more to them and to me. I'm enjoying so much doing all those little things with them...

But we're supposed to be rounding up November, right? So, to get back on track with that...

Here on MightyCrafty, I shared a few projects for my home this month. First, there was the Giving Thanks plaque:

And the quilted fall runners:

A fall porch:

And our fall mantel and decor:

I did a few other small home decor projects - like sew a curtain or 2...

...and decorated a couple of bathrooms.


I also did a ton of paper scrapbooking this month - all thanks to the Kiwi Lane designer templates I've been using. (So in love with those.) All told, I created 23 12x12 pages in November. That has to be a record for me. A few examples...


In November, I created and printed an 8x8 photo book from Shutterfly for our 2012 California vacation. So glad to have that done and able to share with our family.

I also created a storage system for our family's memorabilia that I really like. I'll share that on the blog this month. For now, I'm just happy that I've got all those little pieces of stuff that I want to keep organized and stored away.

I'm still working through Project Real Life at Big Picture Classes. I'm surprised at how much I'm loving it, since I didn't want to do Project Life again for 2012 (I'd already done it for 2010 and 2011). But I'm really enjoying documenting our life in our new home, since we've been living here just going on 3 months. I'm thinking about doing it again for 2013...

So that's my round-up for November 2012. Have you done yours? Please link it up in the comments so I can take a look and give you a pat on the back. :)
