2011 Review

Some of my blog friends have done a review of the old year and listed their hopes & dreams of the new year.  I loved Rose's review, and thought I should do much the same.  Thanks, Rose, for the idea!

First, if you know me at all, you know that my year was filled with awesome crazy grandkids--25 of them!



Bella and Ada making a mess



Roman and Grandpa



And all those grands means that there is a lot of family!  So my year was spent with lots of gatherings for feasting! 



Daugher Jackie, SIL Terry (Suzanne's DH), and GD Courtney 

The next thing that hubby and I like to do is be outdoors.  We spent lots of afternoons eating our brown bag lunches at the riverside or taking our grands on a walk.  That was fun!

Kellog Creekside--One of my favorite pictures!

 Oh and there were lots of craft shows with my family:

And lots of Etsy stuff--shops & sales; forums & threads; promoting--tweeting & facebook; and lots of blog entries about the wonderful handmade world!


Custom order for an Etsy customer's Dad!


Lots of shopping at estate sales and finding awesome vintage fabrics:



Creativity from lovely estate sale fabrics!



And what now, for 2012? 

Looking carefully to see what the future might hold. 

See tomorrow's post for my list of hope and dreams.
