Can you believe how quickly these 100 days have passed? I want to thank you for joining us, and I hope you have enjoyed the ideas Tricia and I have shared with you from around the blogosphere. We would also like to thank all of the bloggers who have been directly involved in the series, whether it was through a guest post, a feature and allowing us to use your photographs from your blog, sponsoring a giveaway, or by helping us spread the word by putting our event button on your blog or sharing about it through social media.
I have some fun things to share today. First…. look who was at our house last night:

I thought as a series finale post, it would be fun to highlight some of the top features from the series. I will start with my favorite, which is really difficult to decide with so many wonderful ideas, but if I had to choose one it would probably be the Wobbly Present Cookies from Day 94:

Most repinned from my Christmas Pinterest Board was the DIY Handprint Ornament:
And my favorite feature of Tricia’s, our co-host over at Recipe Roundup, was the Holiday Dough from Day 33… because I think it is a perfect gift idea for teenagers and college students:

I was very inspired this year by this series, and The Chef and I ended up making some of our Christmas gifts for family, including a set of cookie cutter ornaments that were featured by Tricia on Day 41:
And I also made the monogrammed snow-filled ornament from TidyMom that was my first pin on my Christmas Pinterest Board:
I used a paint marker and free-handed the letter instead of using vinyl letters.
The Chef made these coconut candy bars from my Christmas Pinterest Board also:
Coconut is one of a handful of things I really do not care for at all, so I did not try them, but he said they turned out delicious.
It has been fun counting down since September with you to this glorious holiday. Thank you again, each of you. We hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas with family and friends and would love to hear if anything from the series inspired you or what your favorites were!
