Good day folks,

hope you are all enjoying your holidays.

We are traveling  - visiting family

and

have a great time.

I have a down day today and so thought I would put together a post

about the

13 top viewed posts this last year.

I didn't really start blogging till about July

when I decided to get serious about this little blog

and

see just what I could do.

So, without further ado let's get on to the countdown.

#13



This little cloche I made from thrift store finds was very popular

and

actually one of my favorite projects also.

I liked it so well I actually

found some more of these parts and made another one.

You just can't have too many little cloches can you.

These cute little drop cloth pumpkins came in  in 6th place.

I absolutely love these and can see why they would rank so high.

Our Fall entryway was quite the hit being featured on several

linky parties and an e magazine.

Miss A's 8th birthday party came in as the 4th most viewed post.

For number 3 we head back to my thrift store finds to see

the Painted Glass Vases I did

to match our personal decor.

I show you how easy it is to change up these thrift store finds

to make them fit into your home.

#2

The number 2 most viewed post was back to the

A Handmade Christmas Series

with the Trees.

I have to admit these little trees have stolen my heart

and

you could say I have become obsessed with them.

So, I am not surprised that it was one of the most viewed posts I wrote.

You can see more of these here.

And, drum roll

the #1 most viewed post this year is

The Book Page Wreath Tutorial.

Again this was no surprise to me as I have had a lot of requests

for this particular tutorial

ever since I debuted the wreath.

However, it did take me a long time to finally see the need to write the tutorial.

If you missed it and are wanting to make your own

you can find the instructions here.

                           I want to thank you all for reading each post and coming back to
                                                   see what I have been up to.
                           I have a lot planned for the new year and hope you stick with me
                                as we unfold some new and exciting projects and crafts.
