**The giveaway below has ended. Congratulations to the winner Brenda B.!!
First of all, a great big thank you for visiting IBC for Christmas inspiration over past ftwelve days. As I mentioned yesterday, and at the beginning of the series, today is your day to share the fun projects and crafts you’ve been working on this holiday season. At the end of this post, there is a link party for you to link up your colorful Christmas decor.
Each of the 12 Days bloggers will be hosting a link party and each has a unique theme. You can share your project wherever it fits best. You can also browse each party to find even more holiday ideas. If you can’t find a link party where you project seems to fit, feel free to include it here.
Over the next several days we will be sharing YOUR projects on various social media outlets including our 12 Days of Christmas Pinterest board. We will try to share as many as we can.
But first, let’s take a quick look back at the projects weve covered on IBC since December 1.
Day 1: I showed you how to make these adorable DIY Scallop Ornaments.
Day 2: We got our cocktail on and made some Pumpkin Spice and Peppermint Mocha Martinis.
Day 3: I taught you how to make some Gold-Leafed Holiday Boxes for sharing holiday goodies.
Day 4: My Colorful Christmas Tree made its fabulous return.
Day 5: I showed you how to create a Festive Rainbow Wreath.
Day 6: We took a break and sipped a Sparkling Pomegranate Cocktail.
Day 7: I decorated my dining room with this Colorful Christmas Centerpiece.
Day 8: We satisfied our sweet tooth with these Mini Mason Jar Cheesecakes.
Day 9: We got crafty with these DIY Wood Slice Photo Ornaments.
Day 10: I created a Festive Wreath for my back door.
Day 11: I was inspired to make this colorful DIY Forest.
Day 12: These newly decorated shelves added to my Hip Holiday Office.

Hi Michael: What a pretty tree you’ve created–I love the rainbow effect of the ornaments! Thank you for hosting the party and giveaway.
Oh, hallelujah! Someone who’s actually celebrating a COLORFUL Christmas! I admire neutral decor–I really do–but I’m a color-loving girl at heart. And at Christmastime? Well, honestly, it just wouldn’t be Christmas for me without vibrant colors! Thank you so much for providing lots of beautiful inspiration here and a place to share. Bless you!
Everything is just fabulous! Thanks so much for hosting!
First of all, thank you for hosting the great link party! Second, I absolutely love every single post you shared for 12 Days of Christmas. I may be making some of those yummy cocktails this weekend;)
Your tree is FANTASTIC!!!! I love everything about Christmas – but especially love that this time of year everyone is generally happier and more giving. Watching my kids smile on Christmas morning is a huge plus, too!!!
You better believe! Thanks so much for the tree love!!

My favorite thing about the holidays is getting together with family. Sometimes it is the only time of year that we all get together and for some nieces and nephews it is the only time I see them. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Can’t find the Rafflecopter?????
I love baking and spending time with family.
Oh my, I am obsessed. I have been searching for over an hour. On your bookshelf, fourth shelf from the top, on the left side, the wood plank with the little forest…did you make that? Is there a tutorial, or did you buy it somewhrre? I am in love with it! Any info you can share would be so appreciated!
Hey Mary – Sorry it’s taken me so long to respond. No, I did not make it. I found it at this Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/2of2
It doesn’t look like they have any in stock (probably because of the holidays), but that’s where I found it.

Beautiful holiday blog postings like the ones on Inspired by Charm are one of my favorite things about the holidays!
I am a stahm. Every year my husband saves vacation time for the end of year, so when the kids (11, and 13 on the 23rd) are off from school, we are all home together. I love our family time!
Now I feel like awful about my crappy, generic, discount store decor. Thanks a lot guys! Seriously, brilliant job everyone!
