As we settle into our respective couches with our beverages of choice to relax and reflect back on 2022, I hope you’re thinking about the do-it-yourself projects you’ve worked on over the past year.

I’m drinking my herbal tea and scrolling through the archives of The DIY Diaries and remembering some of the cool things our writers have done. Mercedes O’Leary created her first-ever homemade Halloween costume. Timpoa replaced a sewer line! Celeste Wilson created all manner of crafts out of everyday items around her house. And those are just a few examples.

Maybe you worked on some art projects at home. Maybe you taught yourself software and design like Jerikho Jordan and Carmellita have been doing. Maybe you did a project in your home or garden. Maybe you tried new recipes like Mona S Gable or found creative uses for kitchen items like Penny Goblin finding twenty ways to use pickle juice!

For our last call for submissions for the year, the editors at The DIY Diaries would love for you to send us a little diary entry of your own about anything you’d like to share from your DIY adventures (big or small) from 2022.
