It's my 1-year blogiversary!
It's been a good year. I feel that I have been blessed by the blogging community. I love knowing there are so many others out there trying to make something beautiful--whether is your home, family, crafts... I'm thankful for the friends I've made, the ideas I've seen, the projects I've gotten done, all in the name of blogging.
Ok, enough of that. What I'd like to do is compare the following completely random and made-up list of typical blog posts to projects I've blogged about over the last year. I know there are a couple 'standard' things I have yet to accomplish!
