Last year I did a post about looking back and how I had no regrets.
This year has been another wonderful year. I have met so many new blog friends that have brought so much joy into my life. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your sweet comments and the love that I have felt.
I thought it might be fun to hi-lite each post that got the most views for each month in ‘2012’. Some of them surprised me.
January: I created a garland from paper doilies and cupcake liners.

I had so much fun looking back. And my favorite project for ‘2012’ was that of our new fire pit inspired by Williamsburg.

Hi Jann,
I hope you nipped that cold in the bud! I have been sick this entire Christmas break. Loved the look back at all of your projects. Love the Dead and Breakfast sign, and your Christmas decorations. Actually I loved all of them but that would make this comment to long.
Hope you have a good day and a Happy New year.

PS we visited your beautiful state in June and I loved it. We spent a day in Salt Lake City. I would love to come back and spend much more time.
I love your year in review! And I have to admit, the cupboard on your porch was my favorite post.....but the firepit project was a close second. Happy 2013...Cheers! :)

i love that vintage mirror on your mantel and the shutters beautifully compliment the mirror.
Is this mantel over a fireplace? I don't have a fireplace and this gives me a great idea!
Thanks Jann & joy, peace and love for 2013
