31 Days: The Thrift Project

Below are all the posts in this series. Scroll down to read about why I’m doing The Thrift Project.

******************************************************************

I’ve been debating this for some time. It’s a commitment, in an already very committed month. But I’m seeing it as a personal challenge that I want to try.

What is it? I’m joining 31 Days. I’m linking up with The Nester and committing to posting every day for the month of October.

When I started thinking about doing this, I wanted to post about something that I know a lot about (or at least have a lot of experience with), but I also wanted to post about something that would help me accomplish something fairly big. Hence, “The Thrift Project”. This will be my attempt to finish ~~all~~ some (let’s be honest here, there are many more) of those half-done or waiting-to-be-started projects of things I’ve found at the thrift store. I love thrifting. And I love making stuff. But sometimes, my eyes are bigger than my calendar. I buy things, knowing I can make them wonderful, but I just haven’t had the time, or more realistically, haven’t made the time, to get them all finished.

But, like my reason for starting this blog, if I commit to making the time for (and blogging about) my projects, I will accomplish something big: finishing a big list of projects in a short amount of time.

This month’s posts will include some great clothing re-do’s, a handful of fun jewelry projects, a couple of small “around the house” thifts, a few BIG projects I want to tackle, and some tips I’ve learned through the years that have made a difference in my thrifting successes.
