A Year In Review

Happy Friday. I hope your week has been a good one. Thankfully my Silhouette is working now. I called on Tuesday and the guy I spoke to had me move the blade carriage back and forth a few times and that got it working. I have not had time to really play with it yet but I did try to cut a few things and so far it seems to cut better than the Cricut. It also works with SCAL 3 which I am very happy about.
I have also been busy most of the week with another custom order on Etsy and I decided it was time to reorganize my stamping desk. I could not stand to look at it any longer. I can't believe I let it get that bad. I have ordered a bunch of CD boxes and things that hopefully will help to keep it organized from now on and I am going to try really hard to keep it that way next year.
Since there are only a few days left of this year I wanted to share my favorite projects of 2011 by participating in Karin's Year In Review Blog Hop I discovered it from Leigh Ann's blog

These are some my favorite projects from each month. Click on the month to find out more about them.

Overall it has been a pretty good year. Instead of making resolutions I am just going to take 2012 one day at a time and see what it brings. I hope you enjoy the last few days of the year and 2012 will bring much happiness, good health and creativity to you. I will be back in the New Year with more to share and as always thanks for stopping by.

Happy New Year!

Teresa said...

Every single project is AMAZING!! Happy New Year!

Kelly S. said...

Okay, how in the world could I ever choose? My daughter Claire (age 6) who was standing next to me said that she is glad that I am her mom, but wishes you were her other mother because you are SO good at making stuff, heeeee! I can't choose a favorite so I'll pick the ones that made her gasp out loud...the ladybug, the rose-covered heart, and that adorable ribbon cupcake! I CANNOT WAIT until your silhouette is up and running :) :)!!!!

Anonymous said...

Wow, all are so very beautiful!

Susan said...

WOW!!! These are all so amazing!! I wish I had a teeny tiny drop of your creativity in my fingers!!

Kim Heggins said...

Everything you do is just amazing!

Cathy Weber said...

I am speechless. Every single one was a work of art. January and May are my favorites, but that ladybug runs a very close third. I didn't know you got a silhouette. Does that mean we can't share files anymore?

Cheryl said...

You are amazing with packaging! I love the rolled roses on the heart box. Your dreidel card is brilliant, too. Happy New Year!

Nerina said...

Wow Terri! You've had an awesome year! Your rose box and rose cupcake have me sitting speechless all over again! Beautiful!! What a great way to end 2011 and I do wish you absolutely everything of the best for 2012!

These projects are fantastic Terri and I bet you had trouble limiting yourself to just 12. My fave is September. I just got a Cameo but haven't come to grips with it yet.
