This time last year I was new at this whole blogging thing.
Struggling to find a way to document our lives, for the future.
My goal for this blog has always been to have a place to not forget what we have accomplished, where we have gone, and how we have grown.
So I thought I would take a moment today and look back over the last year.
I will start with getting to meet Bakerella and The Pioneer Woman all in one night,
Talk about a way to start off blogging. My second post ever was about meeting these two. It was a great night that I enjoyed with my sister (no we are not twins, but yes we are dressed alike).
When we decided to let our girls have separate rooms, I knew I had to make decor from what I had
Then I added more layers to Little Sisters (my youngest daughter) bed.
My girls and I made a Valentine's banner to celebrate the true source of LOVE
Of all the crafts I have done this year, this wedding decoration I made for a sweet friend is still one of my favorites.
Who knew when I decorated this mantle,
that HGTV would be kind enough to write about it.
We had a great time making sweet bird decor for Little Sister's Birthday.
Our kitchen got a good bit of attention this year and is one of the first places in our home that is a reflection of us. The Spoon and Fork art is the perfect mix of whimsy and vintage that I was going for.
My rooster got a new modern look.
And just in case you have ever been confused about what you are suppose to do in the kitchen,
we hung a sign to make sure it was clear.
And I saved the best kitchen project for last, the Family Recipe Wall
This chandelier has been a great addition to Big Sister's room remodel.
I even took the plunge into remodeling clothing with this shirt. I hope to do more of this in the near future.
Big Sister had a wonderful 4th of July Birthday.
Then for Christmas I finally made new stockings and a book page wreath.
and my girls turned the kitchen into Candyland.
Thank you all for inviting me into the wonderful world of blogging.
I can't wait to see what the next year holds.

I had forgotten about the wedding candles. That was the first post by you that I read and I immediately thought, "I LIKE HER!" Something about it drew me to you and I am so thankful! Who knew we would become such special friends? What a blessing you are! Lisa~

Sweet Cha Cha, You have inspired me in so many ways this year. Not just with the beautiful things you make and your fabulous style in decorating but your deep thoughts. You truly love and care for others and find joy in all the right places. Thanks.
