Top ten of 2011


Welcome to a tour of my top ten posts of 2011. I've had so much fun this year - I can't remember when I've felt so inspired! A big thank you to everyone who visited my blog - YOU are what inspired me!

#1 Vintage Paper Trees


I have to say I love these delicate little trees - I plan on displaying them for the rest of the winter (at least).



#2 My Dictionary Wreath


I am still soooo loving this! I was inspired by all the other book page wreaths out there and knew I had to have one! This also does not have to be strictly a Christmas project - I think it could be displayed all year.



# 3 Rustic Country Whole Grain Wreath


This was my first big hit! I have it safely stored away - ready to be pulled out next September.



#4 Handmade Christmas Globe Ornament


These are pretty special since I made them with Christmas cards from the past.



#5 Baked Caramel Popcorn


This was a huge hit - I myself ate almost a whole batch . . .



#6 Flourless Chocolate Snow Mountains


These quickly jumped into my top ten - not only do they look delicious, they absolutely are delicious! My granddaughter confirmed this for me over Christmas!



#7 Table Decor
 

Yes, I actually set this up for our Christmas dinner - table for eleven, please.



#8 My Wintry Mantel and a Little Tour


I took you on a little tour of my home - and was met with such kind comments - thank you! If you like, take a look at my complete Home Tour.



#9 Autumn Mantel Love


Seems like mantels and home tours are popular . . .



#10 Oh Christmas Tree


My handmade garland and die-cut snowflakes were a hit!



Simple Country Topiary deserves an honourable mention - it was very close to the top ten.

  1. My sister and I totally loved making your holiday wreath from an old book. Thinking I might have to delve into the paper Christmas trees next. I have so enjoyed following your creative adventures the past few months and look forward to seeing more in 2012. Happy New Year!
