As 2011 comes to an end, I have been blogging for 6 weeks.... Seems so much longer... I have come so far since my very first post, met inspiring interesting people, made new friends, rediscovered my creative talents ..... And decided to pretty much makeover everything.....
I also thank all of you who have supported me and read my posts, left me the most fantastic and encouraging comments here and on my Facebook page - it has made my blogging journey so much more enjoyable and rewarding.
Looking back.......
My first few posts included......
Gallery Wall : I transformed my dark corridor to a bright and happy place...
.
Kitchen Cupboard Makeover : I bought an awful dresser and made it over into a kitchen cupboard........
Cube Shelves : I bought inexpensive bookshelves and transformed a boring dresser....
I made a few pieces of Jewellery.....
I've enjoyed getting back to my jewellery making and had the most page views for my Washer Pendant Necklaces, I also made a Bracelet, and some Spiral Charms
I did a few crafty projects with the kids....
Popsicle Stick Reindeer : We had great fun making and decorating these beasties for our friends and for our tree
I spoke A LOT about my coastal decor and the colour WHITE....
Hanging Fish: My all time favourite....
And I shared a bit about my family...
Forever : My forever and ever's......
The Force has taken over my Family : The after effects of Christmas...
What have I learned whilst going over my posts?
I love, love, love coastal decor (no, really I do....)
Everything must be repainted white, like, NOW...... (oh, it totally has to be...)
I cannot bake..... (or decorate my baked goods....)
And my family is slightly crazy!!!....but we have the best times, we are loud, happy and the house is filled with laughter (and quite a few squeals and screams.....)
Of course we fight, scream and have bad days - life is not a bed of roses, but we are strong together and we love each other.......
And during 2011 my babies went from looking like this.....
to this......
I hope you will join me for more adventures in 2012. Take care and be safe.
