Welcome to the first ever Craftily Ever Challenge!! Whether you stumbled here on accident after a long day of interneting or if you heard that there might be something cool going on and wanted to see for yourself OR if you have been counting down the days until this very moment, I’m glad you’re here. I am so excited to be hosting a crafty challenge that takes things to the next level. You might remember THIS post, where I explained where and why I got the idea for this little challenge of mine.
This month’s challenge theme is SPRING! Whatever that looks like and means to you it’s all welcome! Don’t forget that submissions close at midnight on the 7th so if you are planning on entering, you better move quick! Voting starts then as well, so once you’ve secured your spot(s) get to the business of telling people about how awesome you are and encouraging them to vote for you! The project with the most votes will win a $25 Amazon gift card, a month of free advertising (Happily Ever After Spot) on my site and earn an entry into the GRAND PRIZE challenge at the end of the year! I promise it’s gonna be awesome! I’ve got some amazing sponsors lined up for the upcoming months and I can’t wait to share them with you!
All this thinking about spring really got me in the mood to freshen up my back patio. We cut down a tree last summer and we had a few logs left over in our yard so last weekend my hubby and I moved them up onto our patio. There was this dangerous corner with a 4 foot drop off on the far edge of our patio and so I decided to move those tree stumps to create a natural barrier and then I added a bunch of fun flower pots and a variety of spring flowers to them to create a magical potted garden that doubles as a safety feature to keep my kids from jumping.falling off the edge. Of course they got involved with the project and spent the better part of a sunny afternoon last week painting flower pots and birdhouses! It’s the perfect little spot of spring in our backyard and every time I see it my heart gets a little lighter!
