Can you believe we’re already down to our top three crafters?!  This season has been cruising by.

Last week Jessica @ Mad In Crafts pulled in a win with her awesome Fingerpainted Lyrics Art.

Isn’t that a fun idea!  You could do it with the words of your favorite song or quote. I love it!

But we had to say goodbye to Celeste @ Celestial’s Creations.  Her Little Bird Countdown didn’t quite make the cut.

Celeste has been a favorite all season and it’s really hard to say goodbye to her.  Make sure you stop by her blog, Celestial’s Creations, and check out all the fun stuff she’s got going on over there.  You won’t regret it

Now that we’re down to 3, the person going home this week is going to be receiving some awesome swag:

a Rose Garden Puff Stitch Beanie & a Lucy Rose PDF Pattern from Cherished Bliss & a pair of ornaments from Belle Adore!

I started Cherished Bliss because I have always loved photography. I wanted to be able to provide beautiful quality photo props to photographers everywhere. I am a stay at home mom of two beautiful children. They keep my busy and working hard! I started a blog in January to document all the things I make for my children and I have fallen in love with it! I host a weekly link party, Craft and Tell, where you can come link up all the things you have been creating!

Belle Adore was created as a means to share fun and interesting products with people who value hand-made items. Appreciating and embracing the Eco-friendly, Belle Adore strives to blend the earth-friendly and hand-crafted to create products that not only function well but are beautiful too. Belle Adore was established in 2005 by Christine Klein. Christine began sewing and crafting as a young child and was inspired by friends and family who shared a love for creating useful products at home. Belle Adore Boutique is an imagination inspired, one-stop-shop for unique handmade gifts. Belle Adore Boutique enjoys participating in local indie craft shows in Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties in South Florida.

This week is a fun one…the crafters had to use items from the Hardware store.  Good luck ladies!

Craft #1 - Whimsical Metal Wreath by Bessie @ Besserina

We have the most amazing hardware store! I love it, I could spend {have spent} hours in there!
I chose to make a wreath out of chimney pipe, with “flowers” made from all sorts of odds and ends in the hardware department.  Wire wheels, light blubs, copper wire, screws, mirror flowers, springs, drop cloth canvas, some other things that I don’t even know what they are called…

Even though it’s made of hard, harsh objects, it looks pretty and feminine. It’s hanging on my porch door and is so whimsical and fun! {Who would have thought chimney pipe and screws could be cute?!}

Craft #2 – Wood Floor Makeover by Carlee @ Lady Bird Lane

This project was a lot of work, but I LOVE how it turned out!  This floor has personality, lots of character, and it is easy to clean!  The cost of the floor was $311.73, or $1.39 per square foot.

Oh the stories this old wood floor could tell!

Craft #3 – Faux Bois Mirrors by Jessica @ Mad In Crafts

What I didn’t consider when I was coming up with this project design was how difficult it was going to be to photograph the mirrors!    I decided to apply a faux bois (fake wood) pattern for a few reasons: 1) I love it SO much, 2) it matches nicely with the other botanical elements in my living room, and 3) it is very simple to do!
