The Final Stay Crafty Challenge Winner + Thank You!

Wow — what an incredible creative journey this has been!

December marked the final Stay Crafty Monthly Challenge, and it feels bittersweet to share this news. Over the years, this challenge has become such a special part of our creative community — a place to experiment, share ideas, and be inspired by one another. With a wide variety of creative themes and seasonal inspiration, each challenge invited makers to explore something new month after month.

We want to extend our deepest thanks to everyone who made the ABNH Stay Crafty Monthly Challenge what it was. To Michelle Lupton, thank you for your creativity, leadership, and tireless work behind the scenes. From managing the ABNH team and organizing every challenge detail to writing each post, your dedication made this challenge what it was. 

To the entire A Blog Named Hero Team, thank you for your dedication, encouragement, and endless ideas that kept the creativity flowing month after month. 

And finally, thank you to all of you who participated, shared your projects, commented, and supported one another. Whether you joined us occasionally or never missed a month, you helped build an amazing, welcoming creative community, and we are so grateful.

Even though this challenge series has come to an end, we know many of you love creative challenges just as much as we do — and we’d love your input! What types of challenges do you enjoy most? Do you gravitate toward sketch challenges, color challenges, theme-based prompts, or holiday-inspired projects? Is there something specific that really motivates you to participate and create?

Let us know in the comments — your feedback means so much to us and helps shape what comes next.

Thank you for your continued support of the ABNH Stay Crafty Challenge over the years. We are so grateful for this amazing community and excited to see what’s next. 

Stay crafty!
