Do- It- Herself (DIH). That’s got a good ring to it, don’t ya think?! I’m all about empowering women (and kids and men) to Do! Which is why I was super psyched to co- lead the DIH Workshop at the Georgetown Home Depot Thursday. Plus the class is free, which is another one of my favorite things! We had 57-ish women, men and kids attend and learn how to make a pinterest inspired mosaic mirror! It. was. awesome. Meet my new friends over at the Georgetown, TX Home Depot!
Side note: Thank you, Marianne, for the group shot! Maritschka, the workshop leader, did an awesome job of explaining exactly how to make the tile framed mosaic mirror. We took notes, ate snacks, and asked lots of questions! Maritschka is a tile pro. Oh, and check out those cute reusable Home Depot goodie bags that were handed out to everyone. Pretty snazzy, huh?!
Next it was time to start doing! And chatting! And meeting other DIY-ers! I had a blast helping everyone make their mirrors. It’s a simple, pretty solution to jazz up any builder grade mirror.
Home Depot offers DIH Workshops the third Thursday of every month. Next month, we can learn how to install dimmer switches in our homes, something I’ve never done before!
Another fun thing, the Georgetown Home Depot gave away awesome prizes, not 1, but 3 microwaves! And while we’re on the awesome subject, check out my apron. I love it. Jan, a local artist who also works at Home Depot, painted my apron exactly like my C.R.A.F.T. logo! Pretty impressive. (Jan’s in the green visor next to me, below.)
I was really excited that Jenn and Allison came out for the DIH Workshop! We made lots of new friends too. That’s Bettina on the end (and above in the pink jacket), she knows all things garden at Home Depot and she speaks German and smells really good!
Just for fun, Maritschka and I were on Good Day Austin last Thursday morning! You can see our 1:58 seconds of fame on KTBC FOX 7! I’m not gonna lie, I was a proud mama, watching C.R.A.F.T. on the big screen (or t.v.), ha!

Comments & Reviews
Dh and I are painting every room except one – the card would go a long way in helping pay for the paint and supplies. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
I would love to build a kitchen pantry
I would use the gift card to finish so many of my projects, mainly my wall art tile sets I give as gifts to family and friends then I would move onto my organizy projects: tile wall calendar, extra shelves, magnetic boards, peg hang boards, etc. maybe even a bed frame/base so I can finally have under bed storage!
I really want to make a wood shelf to go on the wall by my front door with hooks for coats and a shelf for things like purses.

We are going to retile our kitchen backsplash this year. This would be enough money for all the supplies we need!
Oooh I could definitely redo my bedroom with that! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
I would tackle my office with a gift card!
i want to tackle our bedroom. It needs help!
I would use this to buy supplies to help us finish our basement. Thank you!
I really need a new showerhead and a new toilet. Wondering if I could actually tackle either of those jobs?
I love they have project workshops for women! I’d like to start with re-painting my room and changing the light fixture.
Oh my goodness!! This card would help us so much!! We would replace our kitchen faucet that has been leaking for 2 years. 🙂

I’d use it for bathroom makeover, get new cabinet and mirrors!
Great giveaway! I have been itching to update some lighting in my home. Fingers crossed!
I would build shelves for my new apartment!
I would love to replace my bathroom vanity and mirror!

Well if i got a gift my goddaughter is turning one in a month and i would love to make her gift, and even if i do not get the giveaway i would like if you could give me some pointers to what i could do for her. She is my first goddaughter and i have no clue as what to give her . Thank you you seem like a nice person
I need to buy tile for my bathroom floor.
I would repaint the master bedroom – dying to change the walls to gray.
The workshop looks really fun – definitely heading over to see if they offer any classes locally.

My hubby and I call HD the “Toy Store”! I would probably treat myself to a leisurely afternoon in the store and just let my imagination run wild. No telling what I’d bring home but I’d be really happy!
The workshop looks like fun! This has nothing to do with the post- but I LOVE, love your shoes!!
Thanks! I got them on sale at Neiman Marcus Last Call! I love ’em too!
Very cool and great giveaway. I would make 2 of those mirrors for over my master bath vanities. I was coming by to let you know I linked to your 17 spring crafts from last year via pinterest in my spring fling post today. Hope you’ll pop over with more spring links, the linky will be open until Easter 🙂
We’re planning to replace our floor and the kitchen counters so a gift card would really help! 🙂
With a $100 Home Depot gift card, I would get some new interior doors!
Oh Home Depot! My favorite craft store!
I would probably spend a gift card on some base boards for our loft/office and upstairs hallway. I’m sad to say those areas don’t have any since we got rid of that nasty carpet and replaced it with beautiful hardwood floors. If there’s any money left over I’d totally get some black pipe fittings to make a wall of shelves in there.

I have been putting off replacing the fan in my bathroom. I was hoping that I could just fix it, but I think I am going to have to replace it. It shouldn’t be too hard, and this gift card would be the kick in the pants I need.
I would use it to buy supplies for the awesome ombre stairs project we talked about!!
Ohhhh… That’s a FUN one 🙂 Thanks for entering to win, Alana!
I would love to buy a lot of fun paints for all my spray painting projects! It does look like you guys had a blast!
these pictures are so fun!! Love your apron too 🙂
I would use this for the maaaany DIY projects for our “new” (old) home we’re moving into next month!!
