Review of 2011-

 It always surprises me everytime I do a year in review post that I did actually get some things accomplished! 
 I guess I just have such a long to do list that it doesn't seem like very much when I check it off!

I have added a link to each of my projects in case you would like to go and see it in more detail.

First project of the year was making apple blossom arrangements for the mantel

 a little cloche project HERE

One of the most popular posts of the year was my


Big Project of the Year

A Fun Refashion










I'll be showing you how we made this in a future post!



Chalkboard Projects HERE, HERE, and HERE

One project that was started several months ago is my favorite and you will be seeing more of it this coming year as we finish this big makeover!  You can see the beginning of it here

There were several little things accomplished too which made for a more cozy and welcoming home which is each one of our desires I think.
Thank you to all of you who have inspired me with your beautiful homes and fun projects!
I cannot wait to see what you all come up with this year!

As I scrolled down and looked at all your amazing projects I could not decide which one I like the best. I loved them all. Your bedroom is so lovely, your musical background paper in your shelves and your silver and white tree all took my breath away. Beautiful. Saw you on WUW at Sav.So.Style. So glad I came.

Mary Ellen, you amaze me with all you get done each year and all the time you devote to your Ministry. I always see your projects with awe and envy at all the energy. You have done some beautiful things. I was so thrilled to see you while you were here. I hope your trip home was a good one. Thanks for the wonderful times we have had together this past year and I look forward to more in the coming year. Hugs, Marty

How busy you've been Mary. I can't imagine how you get all that done along with your ministry duties. I didn't realize your house was so big and I can hardly wait to see the finished front.
Did you get out of Colorado over Christmas or were you snowed in? I was surprised to see a post from you since I thought you might still be vacationing in Arizona.
Hope your holidays were nice wherever you spent them.

I've loved every one of your project through the year - but my favorite has to be your ruffled bag. Because I got to see it in person - and spend time with you and your dear hubby when you came my way! Wishing you a wonderful New Year filled with God's best blessings ever sent your way!

Mary Ellen, thank you so much for the nice comment you left. Yes, right now it is quite warm in Tucson, and I am loving it! I have become spoiled these last 13 years, and just cannot tolerate cold weather AT ALL!

Looking at your wonderful photos, I saw many projects that reminded me of my life in Memphis, before we moved to the southwest. Your work is lovely!!!
