2013 has been a very busy year around here. I find inspiration all around me and, with my girls all being in school at least a portion of the week, I have had more time than ever to create. It fulfills me and brings me satisfaction and inspiration as I jump into each new project. As the year draws to a close, I want to thank each of you who stops in to the blog to check out whatever whim I’ve decided to post about. Your comments and support give me so much encouragement and validation – it really means so much to me. I’m excited about what 2014 will bring as I follow my heart and have the luxury and privilege to see where this creative road leads. As in years past, I thought I’d share my personal top 10 favorite posts from this year – if you missed one, just click on the link below each photo to check out the original post.

I think I may have followed you for about a year now. I couldn’t pick my favorite. EVERY post is so creative, beautifully photographed, interesting, and shows the immense love and talent you have for what you do! Oh, I know…I loved your quilts for the girls! Those are gorgeous! Would that have been more than a year ago since you did the Candy Shop themed room this year? The dresses, parties, food…. all come across as perfection. I wish you and your family a wonderful 2014 filled with joy and health. Oh, and a book deal down the road to compile all this amazing work wouldn’t be to bad either!
