Goodbye, 2011

Joining with the many other bloggers,

I thought I'd go through my archives

and share

 a recap of my "most viewed" posts from

2011.

I had great fun beating up my new wooden kitchen counter

to make it look "old".

You can read about that here:
>My Coffee-stained, Chain-beaten Wooden Counter Top...<

The final result of the counter
on the base that I painted and waxed
was also the most viewed.

We all must love looking at other people's kitchens
since we spend so much of our lives in them!

>Kitchen Update...continue<




The fun old thermos I found
has held a good amount of arrangements since it's transformation. 

>The Refurbished Old Thermos.<

My love for blue canning jars
and this little lamp I made using one...

can be seen here:
>Canning Blue, How I Love Thee.<




This antiques collage
using a basket my sister bought me
and some old kitchen utensils from an aunt...

can be seen by clicking
>My Sister's Keeper<.

The painted plastic pumpkins using home-made chalk paint
was not that long ago.

 >Would you like a Painted Pumpkin?<

My painted kitchen trash can
actually made it into the top ten viewed posts.

I thought that was funny,
but I guess we all need lots of trash cans, too!

>My Trash Treasure<

My Painted Sewing Cabinet from my Grandmother:

>My Grandma's Monster.<

And this strange yard sale item that was made into a book display for my kids
still gets a lot of looks,
thanks to Pinterest.

>Finding A Use For...<

and
my explanation of how far a can of Annie Sloane's chalk paint goes.

 Finally,
here are just a few others that received the most comments on them:

Thank you so much for a fun year of blogging!

A Happy New Year

and God bless in 2012.
