We’ve got some changes that are gonna be happening around here.

I hope you’ll take a minute and read the big plans we have for the new year.We have been absolutely blown away by the amazing ideas you’ve been sharing week after week at Think and Make Thursday. The last few weeks we’ve been hovering around 600 bright ideas linked up at our party. Wow! That’s a lot of inspiring DIY projects, home improvement projects, crafts, recipes, kids stuff and home related tips. We are so honored you choose to party with us week after week. With the growth of our party and the new year just a few weeks away though it seems only appropriate that we as hosts evaluate how it’s going, what’s working well and what we want to do differently with our link party in 2016.

New Year, New Focus

Think and Make Thursday was started with the intent of meeting new bloggers, discovering new talent but most importantly to give new/smaller bloggers exposure. The host team is primarily made of DIY/home bloggers so with around 600 links each week it’s a challenge to sort through all the amazing ideas to find those that are the best fit for our blog readers. Starting in 2016, we want to narrow the focus of our link party to showcase DIY projects, home decor ideas and crafts only. Our last “Think and Make Thursday” Link Party will be Thursday, December 17, 2015. When we return
on Thursday, January 7, 2016, we’ll have a new focus AND a new name for the new year. We hope you’ll be as excited about the new party as we are!

Happy Think and Make Thursday! We’ve got some fantastic features this week from last weeks link party, make sure you show them some love! Share, comment, Pin,whatever you can do. Sharing is caring! Now link up so we can see all of your beautiful projects you’ve been working on this week.

Bloggers, we’re so glad you’re here and can’t wait to be inspired by your Bright Ideas! Think and Make Thursday will open at 6 AM ET every Thursday for you to share what you’ve been working on with a chance to be featured the following week. When you link up at The Think and Make Thursday Link Party, your Bright Ideas will seen across 10 fabulous blogs:

Every week, the ten of us will be choosing our favorite Bright Ideas from the Link party to share on our own blogs the following week, giving you an even better chance of being featured!

1.This China Cabinet makeover from Orphans with Make Up is absolutely Gorgeous. This looks like a photo from a Pottery Barn Magazine. I just love everything about it.

2. This is such a fantastic idea from Elizabeth Joan Designs. You can get wallpaper remnants for nothing. It also makes it super easy to try something out and not have to commit a whole wall to it.

  3. Sweet Parish place did an amazing job on this DIY Rustic Wood Wall. I see people getting rid of old fences on Craigslist all the time. Such a great Idea.

Last but not least our most clicked :Little House Of Four

DIY Rustic Felt Christmas Trees
