2011 Recap and Highlights

WOWZERS this year REALLY went by SUPER fast!

 Where do I even begin?

January

I started the Calendar series which was super fun

thinking of new themes each month &

using up oldies but goodies supplies

February

Besides the Chicago SNOWMAGEDON

I really hope we do NOT have another one of these this year

or if we do, crossing my fingers that I wont be in IL to see it LOL

Made these cute V-day treats & I'm regretting I didn't

stock up & buy more plastic hearts they were so cute!

March

Besides my new "trendy" haircut

(the bangs didn't last too long)

I was just busy creating samples for the shop

April

2 girls weekends what could be better?

Here we are @ PDH

and this was in Madison

 May

Ahhh, May :) Start of my Mission Vacation lol

But before that my one HUGE May highlight was getting to go

to the FINAL taping of the Oprah show

definitely one of the MOST memorable things I've ever done!

Then I got to end the month by heading off to Ft. Lauderdale

for a couple days before sailing away on the Oasis of the Seas

to Nassau, St. Maarten & St. Thomas

June

Well.....this might be the only creative project I made the whole

month of June

Cuz I was pretty much in CA the whole month

CA is really one of my favorite places to be

I cant wait to go there again this year :)

July

HOLY MOLY in prep for Creative Escape

I made all my SWAP stuff in a matter of a week

crazyness

Because I was leaving for Canada

Here's 1 of my adventure highlights in Muskoka

August

I went on the BEST CREATIVE trip ever

with my cousin Rosa :)

Here's a link to the album with all my CE pics

September

Phew FINALLY the 1st full month I was home

kinda glad...& sad mission vacation is over :)

This was also the official start of my full pledge

obsession with NAILShahahaha

Also this month was like "reading month"

I read like 10 books I was @ the Library multiple times a week :)

& this was my FAVE project of the month

October

MY FAVORITE month :)

I turned 29 (bleh)

I also made my 1st Youtube videoI guess that's a highlight lol

November

wow...looking back I posted a lot of "HAULS"

I guess I went shopping a lot in Nov. heehee

my project highlight would have to be learning

how to make a paper turkey & "miniaturizing" it for Abbey

December

So this is 4sure a highlight

& attempting this December Daily challenge

is also another

WHICH BTW I just have to add some pics & I have a few pages left

& I only went up to Day 25 instead of the 31

I know this is def one of those albums I'll always treasure :)

 

& that folks sums up my 2011

This is one of my FAVORITE years by far

I feel so blessed & I'm so thankful for the support that

my Family & Friends has given me

CHEERS to 2012

I hope you all have a happy & SAFE New Years
