My 2012 DIY PROJECTS

This instagram calendar found at: A Beautiful Mess Blog

I find myself always thinking, "I need to make this" or "I need to try that" and for the most part, they never get done.  So, this year I am committing to doing at least 12 of those projects.  Hopefully, I will find time to do more as there are a ton of  DIY projects that I want to try, (not to mention that list has especially grown since I discovered Pinterest).  After much thought and consideration, these are the 12 that I am committing to for 2012:


January:  Homemade English Muffins
February:  Homemade Marshmallows
March:   Made from scratch - dog treats for Roscoe!
April:  Make your own - Windex    
May:  Five minute Artisan Bread
June:  Freezer Jam
July:  Homemade Nutella
August:  Homemade Hot Pockets
September:  Homemade Liquid Hand Soap
October:  Homemade Peanut Butter
November:  Make it yourself – Febreeze!
December:  Making Peppermint Play Dough

The plan is to attempt these projects the second Sunday of the month with a blog to follow that week with the results.  Excited to get started!  What DIY projects are you attempting this year?

However, all my Murray, Kentucky peeps who grew up with that six pack and a pound know where I'm coming from when I say Taco John's is on my "have to eat at list" every year when we travel back home.  And though we may not admit it, we all secretly get a little rage of jealousy when we read on Facebook about someone's trip home and they have 'checked in' at Taco John's. Or what about when somebody is on a road trip and they post that they have stumbled upon a Taco John's and they are now enjoying something out of that brown paper bag and then us folks that live in Taco...
