As the year draws to a close everyone seems to be reflecting on the year that was.
On a personal level, 2012 wasn’t one of my better years with my dad being diagnosed with cancer in March. It has been an emotional and sometimes very difficult rollercoaster ride for our family this past year. . . but I guess these things DO make us stronger and inspire us to appreciate what we have. This seems like the perfect time to say a huge thank you for the support I’ve received from the beautiful blogging community throughout 2012. . . I truly appreciate it!
When life gets tough. . . I throw myself into my work, so it was a very creative and busy 2012.
Here’s the TOP 10 most viewed projects at
Shabby Art Boutique for 2012.
#1 – Homemade Body Lotion… just 3 ingredients!
#2 – removed by owner
#3 – Home Sweet Home
#4 – French Stamped Foot Stool
#5 – Vintage French Bird Nest Cushion
#6 – Vintage Button Ball

Thank you for sharing my creative journey with me in 2012.
It wouldn’t be as much fun without YOU, your comments and your support and encouragement.
Looking forward to having you join me in the Woodberry Designs Studio in 2013.

I’m so sorry to hear about your Dad, Kerryanne. I know how stressful that must be for you. And you are right, having a creative outlet is good therapy. I look forward to checking out your past posts, as well as your future ones. Your ideas are just beautiful! Wishing you a peaceful New Year!
Your projects are always wonderful. I feel for you too with your dad as my dad is fighting Myeloma at present and is fading away before our eyes. Each precious moment feels like a long goodbye. Thanks for sharing all the Christmas projects. You give me inspiration. I made the advent calendar. Although it took me awhile I am so pleased I did spend the time. Felt so proud of myself. Happy New Year to you Kerryanne. Best Wishes. xo
