I made this collage for a little secret project (that I will tell you more about next week!) and thought it was too cute not to share. My how my little boy has grown over the past year.
Happy New Year’s Eve!

a year in review…
Can you believe that we’re in the home stretch of 2011? 2011 has been wonderful but the thought of a clean slate for a new year is very refreshing.
It’s been a fun year for this little blog. I’m still admittedly very shocked when someone I know in “real life” mentions reading my blog or comments on a project that I’ve done, but it’s still so fun. Many, many thanks to all of you who have been reading this year!
Let’s take a look back at some of my favorite (and most read) posts/projects from 2011…

**The lyrics are from a Laura Story song, “Blessings”, not 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. The reference is there just for a related scripture.**
May you find the joy in the journey in 2012!

thankful ornaments…
***This was originally a guest post over at Cap’s Creations blog the other day. I thought I’d post it here as well. Enjoy!***
The project I wanted to share with you today is a little something that you can do with your kids before you pack away all of your Christmas decorations. I called it our thankful ornament.
We made this one in 2006, just after our first year of marriage, and used to it "record" things that we were thankful for from that year.
I simply typed out things that we were thankful for (on plain computer paper), cut the paper into 1/4 inch strips, rolled them into "curls" in stuck them in the ornament. I also added some "curls" of red and green scrapbooking paper.
To make it easier to see what we were thankful for from that year, I created a little tag to attach to the top of the ornament that listed everything. Tie a few ribbons to the top and you're done!
It's a fun tradition and a great way to look back on the great things from the past years!
The girls over at Shanty2Chic just posted a variation on this project a few days ago. Check it out here.
Wouldn't this be great to do with your kids before New Years? Especially since you can find all of the Christmas stuff for more than 50% off!
