Happy New Year! I am so excited that 2013 is here!
Want to know what else I am excited about? The new co-hosts for Pinworthy Projects! You all were totally amazing when I asked who would be interested in co-hosting! It made my job sooo difficult to pick someone. In fact, it was so hard that I actually picked two!
Want to meet them?

I absolutely love looking back over the past year and seeing what I’ve posted about. Even more fun though is looking through and seeing what you guys liked the most. It helps me see what you like and guides me in what to write about in the coming year.
Speaking of this year, I wanted to give you an idea of what to expect around here at Just Us Four.
Without further ado, I bring you…The Top 10 Just Us Four Posts of 2012!

Recently, I was contacted by DecoArt about whether I would be interested in doing a project with their gloss enamels. Let me tell you that I didn’t even stop to think about it…yes, yes, yes! After all, I’ve never met a paint I didn’t like.
Remember that basement project we’ve been working on? Well, it includes a {unofficial} guest room. I didn’t want the guest room feeling like a basement room though so I’ve been working hard on adding little touches here and there to make it guest friendly.
It started with this glass carafe and glass for the bedside table.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mrs. Smith’s for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
The holidays are upon us. For me, that means working, shopping, wrapping… Oh, then there is the holiday party preparations followed by more holiday parties to attend.
After all that is done, what’s a girl to do? Eat pie of course! {Yeah, I know…my life is pretty darn tough!}
And you know what, I ate 4 pies…well, not 4 entire pies! I actually got to sample some of Mrs. Smith’s Signature Deep Dish pies.
The pie crust is made with REAL butter! Then, they throw a ton of fruit into that buttery deep dish crust for an ah-mazing pie.
Wait, Mrs. Smith is so not done though. On top of the buttery crust and delicious fruit comes a special icing made just for the pie. How does Cream Cheese on Pumpkin Pie sound?
Maybe Caramel Sauce for Dutch Apple Pie?
Or my personal favorite, Butter Fudge Sauce on Cherry Pie!
You guys know that I just don’t bake so these pies are the perfect option for me! I can be in the “fake it don’t make it” category but everyone will think I slaved in the kitchen for hours! You can find these ridiculously good pies at these retailers.
So, now you I know you are totally craving pie! Right? Don’t worry…I got ya covered! {Or, really Mrs. Smith does}
Mrs. Smith’s is going to give one of you a free pie AND $50 to spend in the mother of all kitchen stores: Williams-Sonoma. Yep, $50!
To enter, leave me a comment telling me which pie you want to try the most out of the 4 flavors!
Want additional entires?
I’ll draw the winner after the Christmas break! How’s that for a little after Christmas treat?! Ok, time for another piece…
I hope everyone enjoys a wonderful holiday with their family and friends! Just Us Four is taking a break until January 2nd but, then, I look forward to sharing all new and exciting projects and recipes!
This post was originally shared over on Salt Tree but I wanted to share it with you here as well!
For my kitchen decorations this year, I focused on bright reds and greens for the decor.
Someone keeps eating the M&Ms out of my little bowl…thieves!
One of the newest additions to the room started with this unfinished wood sled.
I taped stripes with painters tape and painted part of them red.
Once it was dry, I taped off the other stripes and painted them green. Then, I let the entire thing dry for several days before adding my vinyl lettering to the sled.
Are you ready for sleigh rides?
I love this sleigh because, even though it is red and green, I think it can stay out for decoration all winter!
There will be no party today. Beginning with the moment of silence scheduled today for 9:30am, I will be observing the National Day of Mourning in honor of the victims of the Sandy Hook Shooting.
