Looking Back As We Move Forward

I've noticed several bloggers posted a year in review post yesterday, as a way of ending the year. The idea is to choose your personal favorite from each month's creations shown on your blog and put those all in a post. It was such fun seeing these on my friends blogs, so I decided to do it myself today, as a way of looking back on 2012 as we move into 2013. I'll also share with you some of my observations from 2012 and some of my crafting goals for 2013.

Let's go (these are my favorites from each month of 2012)...


January 28th




February 28th




March 31st




April 15th




May 31st




June 5th




July 23rd




August 21st




September 5th




October 23rd




November 28th




December 5th





MY OBSERVATIONS REGARDING 2012

My two most popular days of the month are the 5th and the 28th - I had three favorites from each of theoose months.

Many of my favorites included the use of at least one punch.

Although I love to color, at least half of my favorites did not include the use of coloring/Copics.

My favorite month was September - I had a very difficult time choosing just one favorite that month

I had a total of 175 blog posts in 2012. February was my slowest month with  only 5 posts and October was my busiest month with 24 posts


MY CRAFTING GOALS FOR 2013

I noticed that the Treasure Hunt blog posts were sadly missing from my blog in 2012. Those are the posts where I find something at yard sales, thrift stores, etc. and incorporate it into my creation. I miss them!!! So, in 2013, I have a goal to do a Treasure Hunt Post at least once every month, and hopefully more often than that.

I love CASE'ing others... and I'm totally addicted to Pinterest! So, at least once a month I'm going to choose a card/project from Pinterest to CASE and I'm going to post it on my blog.

I'm also going to challenge myself to try more new things in 2013 - new techniques, etc. And I really want to drag out my sewing machine and try actually SEWING on a card. Hmmmm... wonder how long it will take me to get brave enough to do that.

And one last goal - I am going to try to get my Cubbyhole more organized! Wish me luck on that one, okay?




Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I ♥ you!!!
