So 718 blog posts later, I'm sitting here sifting through my spray painted madness, looking at all of the strange ideas that have come tumbling out of my head, and wondering how you guys put up with me. I have subjected you to some doozies! I mean seriously. But of course, I am going to ask you to sit through it all one more time because it's time for a roundup! Yessiree, we're going to trot all of this out in a dog and pony show format and act like it's a legitimate post! Why? Because I haven't done anything new! SO THERE!

We've had a lot of fun this year, and I want to thank all of you for your cheerleading in the comments. It's kept us all moving and motivated, and without it, well...
we'd have to do it anyway, but it wouldn't be anywhere near as much fun.
I'm even more impressed with all your creative energy. You seriously outdid yourself last year. I bow to you and your sewing and painting skills. I'm also glad to read that we aren't the only ones that struggle with fruit flies in our wine glasses...hee hee. Bring on more crafty madness in 2011!

I love all your storage box makeovers. They turned out beautiful. Thanks for linking to We're Organized Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing crafty lady. 652 posts in one year makes my head spin...maybe I need a glass of wine.
ReplyDeleteI love your roundup but I have to ask where do you get all of your sea glass and shells? Do you leave near a beach?
ReplyDeleteI'm about 15 minutes from Hollywood Beach in beautiful South Florida, which means my seaglass and shells come from The Dollar Tree and Michael's Crafts! I buy them whenever they are on big time sale and hoard them.
ReplyDeleteIsn't blogging fun! I am always delighted to see your crafts in the weekly party! Get working on some more fun stuff for this next year! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Making It With Allie! I can't wait to see what you have for next week!
