the BEST of 2010

It seems the years roll by faster with each year that passes and 2010 was no exception.  We started the year off by welcoming our third girl on February 21st and have spent the following 10 months watching her grow and accomplish all kinds of firsts.  She is almost ready to walk now. 

Last summer, I was tickled to have my first cover feature with CARDS magazine.

We had our most fruitful garden to date growing bumper crops of turnip, cucumbers and rhubarb this year.  The girls really love planting the seeds and watching things grow.  They have even started making their own "fruit" salads each day picking beans, blueberries, cherry tomatoes and whatever else they can find that is ripe.

Our cold room is stocked full of pickles of all kinds.

In the fall, Callie started Kindergarten and Julia started pre-school.  I just love this photo of them walking down to the school bus together.

The fall also brought a second cover feature.  I still can't believe it.  It really is a dream come true.

I made over my blog this year.  My most read post is the one about the fall napkin rings made from toilet paper rolls.  My second most popular post is another altered tolilet paper roll project:  Paper Pumpkin.

I got back into teaching this winter, demonstraing Epiphany Crafts' shape studio tools.  I'm hoping to do more in 2011.

Working with top notch manufacturers, magazines and talented and caring scrapbookers has been a tremendous highlight this year.  I wish each and every one of you a wonderful and prosperous 2011.
Thanks for all of your support and love.
