Looking Back

  While here we are at another end of a year. A time to reflect on what has happened in the last 12 months but for this girl it is a look back of the favorite projects of the year. 
  Here are my top 12 projects of the year, or the ones that are on my computer and I am too lazy to get photos of the other items. 

I loved this page. I got to use a lot of old products on here. 

    A fun valentine card 

   My first TN spread.

    I think is one of my favorite because I never saw a hot air balloon go by our house before. 

   My grandparent's anniversary card.

    I actually did a pinned project. 

   My first time doing something with a day in the life photos. 

  I love the fun flag border. 

    The first skirt that I sew that had a zipper. 

    Altering wood floor samples and wood stamp blocks. 

   My first layout as a guest designer for the Wild Hare Kit Club

    I am loving making these fauxdoris. 

   Here to hoping 2019 will just be as creativity filled. 

A Year in Review 2016 Edition

   Goodbye to 2016. This year you have taught to always be grateful for the small things in life that can be easily overlooked, like contact lenses. This year I restarted my Etsy shop in January, February I had to say goodbye to my best friend, my buttercup of a dog and April I also had another eye surgery. I found out this year when I am stress I create so I had a lot of projects to go through to make this top 12 list. 

January's favorite project. This is my favorite because it has one big photo. 

February's favorite project. I love this page I created for the Shimelle guest spot that I had in May. 

 March's favorite project. 

April's favorite project. What is not to love about upcycling the jean skirt with lace. 

May's favorite project. My favorite card that I created for a custom order that I did for Clear Choice Custom Lasik.  

 June's favorite project. I just love explosion box cards.  

 July's favorite project. I created this for a magazine call, which I got published for. in the winter issue of Creative Scrapbooker. 

August's favorite project.  I just love the simplicity of this page. 

 September's favorite project. I finally got some of those terracotta pots to good use. 

October's favorite project.  This was my first scrapbook page that I did in months. I was happy to find out that I didn't lose my touch. 

November's favorite project. I reworked a old dog toy that I use to sell. A lot of people seemed to like it. 

December's favorite project. This leather handbag was my first time working with leather. I made it for my Mom. I love how it came out since i had no pattern.  

Here to another year, I am hoping 2017 will bring new and exciting things. Also, a lot of new projects. 

Flew By

   That is what this year did for me. It seems like last month that we just celebrated the new year. This year has been full of mix emotions it started out rough and it is going out a lot better than it started. In between that time a lot has happened and they were a few tears shed. I dealt with me eye health all year, traveled 1,400 miles total for eye surgery and exam and who knows how many just to my in town eye doctor. Buster had a surgery for a abscess, he also had a seizure and another infection. We also started the kitchen remodel

   Since it is the end of the year I like to do a 12 month highlight of my favorite blog post projects I did.
