Top Projects & Posts of 2011

December 27, 2011 by Kellie

Hello lovelies!
Last year I joined some of the parties of the top posts of the year, and thought it was so fun to see all the projects!  It was like pinterest, before pinterest.  Because everyone had their best or most viewed post with links attached.  This year, I’m joining in again.  Here are some of my most favorite projects of 2011.  The posts are in no particular order, other than the first one…

My Fashion Forward Fall Felt Flower Wreath, aka my FFFFFW.  So so so fun to make, but it was even funnier to receive so many compliments from it.  This was my #1 viewed post of the year.   WOWZA!  who knew?

For the love of cake & up cycling = dated canister project.  Painted white & used vinyl on both sides to bring these babies back to the 21st century.
Valentine Confetti Popcorn.  Need I say more?  It’s gooooood & deadly.
Mini breakfast room & painting a chevron curtain.  This post is the one I get the most email questions from.  Between the ceiling fan & the paint color of the room.  It’s a real room, for real living & eating.
And boy, can we do some eating! 
Three.  Sometimes, I’m known to sit on them for a bit, so they’ll stop growing already!!!

Christmas in July birthday party.  The cheapest party I’ve ever had!  Just purchased some of the food items, but I went shopping in my basement in July for the decor.  Can’t beat it!

A wall make-over & birdcage too.  I did this early in the year, and have re-decorated it for every season.  One of my favorite spot in our little home.
A tooth fairy door.  We started a new tradition, and have used it 3 time this year, and *maybe* a fourth if it happens in the next few days.  😉
It’s hard to believe how fast the year has gone!  Looking back at these posts compared to last year, I hardly did any “home improvement” projects.  They were mostly crafty to help decorate.  I cannot help but also mention, for all the bloggers that will understand this part – almost everyone of these most popular posts, are not SEO friendly for a title.  Hmmm…it’s so strange what will be liked & what wont be.  It just goes to prove that the heart & mind can see beauty or knows what it like without a computer & SEO telling you what you should like with a search engine.  Interesting, isn’t it?
Many thanks to all of you for visiting my blog, post after post.  I also, cannot fail to mention, how much I appreciate you all pinning or sharing the love.  Obviously, I am a blog & a handmade shop owner.  What you all have done to help advertise my handmade goodies, is all greatly appreciated.  I couldn’t do it without you.  I try not to saturate this blog with shop stuff, but obviously both are represented here.  So again, many thanks for continually coming back! 
You all are a bright spot in my day.  I truly mean that.
xoxo

    Kellie, what a beautiful year you had!! I will be poking around on these highlights some more! As a relatively new blogger I have a dumb question: what’s A “SEO friendly title?”. Egads I have lots to learn!

    I love your blog and I’ll never get over your little dining area where you create a feeling serenity and beauty.

    Christina…SEO stands for search engine optimization.

    Love these top projects! (those I also love the glam New Year’s ring you recently tweeted about!!)

    You’ve got great pictures and I wonder if SEO didn’t help these post, perhaps Pinterest did?

    Love your blog. I’m your newest follower!
