This may be one of my favorite posts to write. Looking at old photo albums and talking about the memories attached to the photo's is one of my favorite past times. Writing this post reminds me of times spent looking at those albums. It is fun to see what we did (or didn't) accomplish in a year. This year I decided to write two posts...one for decorating/family and one devoted to recipes. Blue could have his own segment...or maybe he should start his own blog...for right now I'll spare you the details of the Blue saga....
January....
Trying to decide what to do with the
bedroom....you guys are awesome! I asked for your help and you came to my rescue...
February....
This was the month of
changing paint colors. First I painted the mud room and loved it so much....I painted the den the same color...
It was also the month we lost a tree in the front yard and Tony and Lil Tony used it to make a bridge...
March....
There were two additions to our home this month...one stayed and one didn't...
We updated the family room with
new furniture and curtains....
We also discovered
Mr. Snappy in the back creek....he traveled to live at a much larger pond...hopefully much happier!!
April...
We celebrated
Easter and grabbed our boots for a
Sunday walk...
May....
Last May I decided to take a break from blogging and
find some balance.
May is also the time of year when we attend the
porch sale in my brother's cottage neighborhood.
June...
We experimented with
gold fish this month and bought three for the pond. Not sure how they did...we haven't seen them since the day we let them go in the pond. We are hoping this spring we will get to see them...
I also left
dad in charge in June and came home to find this...
July...
The
flower boxes were in full bloom....
The
mudroom seems to have become an on going....never ending project...
August....
This was the month of travels and family
vacation, which led us to make these cute
Christmas ornaments...
September....
Drying zinnia's for gifts...
September was also the month we experienced the
flood of 2011 in our area, something I hope to never have to experience again.
October....
Again I asked you for your advice on a paint color for the
family room and kitchen...yes...you are the best! I love the new color...Popular Gray by Sherwin and Williams
November...
We re-opened
Relatively Unique's booth at The Olde Factory. We are happy to report it is going well and our work shop is growing!
Getting the perfect picture for the
Christmas card is a year long event...this year we took picture right in our backyard.
December....
We'll end with a
Christmas tour...which you can see the mudroom is finally finished (for now)!!
Thank you for following along with us in 2011. We feel honored to have you as part of our journey. We enjoy reading each and every comment you leave us.
Tony and I looking forward to another fun year....excited to see what new adventures and projects are in store for us!!
