15 DIY Project Ideas To Carry You Through The End Of 2015

Well, we finally made it to Christmas Eve! This season is my favorite, favorite time of year, and one that I look forward to with gusto every single season. Consequently, I’m always so sad to see it come and go, but I’m also really excited to see what 2016 has in store for me. It has been a tough year full of struggles and major change, so I’m really excited that we are finally settled in our forever house, ready to enjoy normalcy once again. Although I’m sure 2016 will boast its fair share of crappy moments and challenges, I’m ready to face them and to turn those future mishaps into opportunities for growth.

On a happier note, I have quite a bit of exciting things planned for the blog in 2016—which will be my fifth year—and hope that you all will join me in the creative fun! To make sure you take advantage of your own downtime now through January 4th (which is when I plan to pick back up where I left off in the new year), I’m sharing 15 fun DIY projects below that are perfect last-minute additions to your 2015 project list.
