Happy New Year's Eve Everyone! It's been an amazing year for me filled with creative growth and lots of adventure. I've enjoyed sharing projects and tutorials with you, and today I want to share some of my personal favorite project blog posts from this year. I hope you enjoy!

This one is very fitting because of the title "Life is a Journey." So very true! This is a card that I made for BoBunny's card challenge (my first ever card challenge entry), and I won! This felt like the beginning of great things. Blog post February 19, 2010

This was my all time favorite YouTube video I shot. It took hours to edit it down to the 10 minute time constraint, but well worth it! I love flowers, and I thought it would be fun to recreate some of my Prima favorites. Blog post July 11, 2010

This was a blog tutorial I did on recycling a Memory Glass box into a shabby chic gift box. It was awesome because Ranger Industries tweeted about it, and Suze Weinberg left a comment! Exciting! Blog post August 18, 2010.

This is one of my favorite cards! I made it using Webster's Pages papers and stickers. Cards are the best because they're quick and easy. Blog post August 21, 2010.

I love this card because I thought the Pink Paislee Parisian Anthology paper I used was just like magic!! I know, it doesn't take much to entertain me. It was a fun tutorial. Hero Arts tweeted about it. Blog post October 20, 2010.

I just adore this album for it's mixed media pages and soft colors. I love the corrugated paper, felt, mirrored paper, chipboard, and canvas together. I used acyclic paint and lots of rub-ons, again some of my favorite scrapbooking things. It was featured on Passionately Artistic. Blog post November 2, 2010.

I made this using Tattered Angels Trinket Tags and Glimmer Mist. Love it! It was also special because I put pictures of our trip to Shenandoah in it. It was featured in Two Peas In a Bucket's newsletter. Blog post November 16, 2010.

good stuff! I like the videos. I got some of that pink (dotted) gross grain wrapped around a loaf of pumpkin bread. There’s enough for me to practice making a flower! Though I don’t have any linen thread, so I’ll probably try fishing line.
I’m highlighting your video Friday in my Catch-as-catch-can highlights.

Haste trips over its own heels.
There needs a long apprenticeship to understand the mystery of the world’s trade.
People who confess to feeling happy also grin more than others.
Flowers portray love, happiness, joy and all the other positive emotions.
At the same time keeping optimistic mind is a very important to health. And you are health, you will have better mind to study, work, and live.
Was looking for this – so I just tweeted your website on our account – THANKS!!!
Hard graft is the only way to succeed in study.
