Looking back? At what?

2010 IN REVIEW!!! 
I've been reading over so many blogs the last week and seeing everyone's accomplishments for 2010; and well, I've already posted what my intentions are for 2011 in my HOPE TO list-- so what did I accomplish this year?


I have no idea where to start!  I've had lots of irons in the fire and honestly-- I don't know that I've actually FINISHED VERY MANY PROJECTS...


We'll see by the end of this post, won't we?


Let's see  I did some work on furniture-

and received an honorable mention from



 
 ...you can read about it here.




I had some help creating a cute little place to put my magazine...(this was while I was still on my previous blog..but it got rave reviews and everyone still loves my little MAG-WAGON... 

Mag-wagon

I participated in my first workshop ,with Donna from FJI giving us TONS OF ENCOURAGEMENT!!! I didn't win votes for BEST WORKSPACE... but in the end WE WERE ALL WINNERS  cause we ended having a super cool place to work!  NOT TO MENTION IT WAS FUN!!!!!

Workshop

I also feel like I've accomplished much this year with HONEY being NEWLY retired. 

We've worked together on a few projects...

Our Pawn shop Saturday scored a new camera and chainsaw! 

Prioritizing projects beginning with the bedroom- His and Her Empty Nest -a place of Peace! 

The Frankenshelves. 

Now please take note-- in the process of this year, I moved my blog to the current URL and I hope to have all of those posts moved one day. In the mean time clicking some of these photos takes you to 

Simply Casual (dash)Cottage   

AKA: Corn in My Coffee Pot (before moving URL's)  Yes it's complicated but Here I am now. 

While looking to see what HAS BEEN accomplished-- I've seen that I've left some projects unfinished (frankenshelves are NOT painted STILL!!!) and some are still JUST ideas waiting to be hashed out-- I'm a true procrastinator AT HEART. I'm not braggin' (as we say here in TEXAS) -- just stating the facts!  

I hope to do better. Hey! there is another thing to add to my HOPE TO list!!! 

Hope to NOT procrastinate so much. 

The other thing WAY MORE worth looking back on for 2010 

are the new additions to our family 

and the Gratefulness to God for tending his littlest sheep! 

The Cousins-- 

Easton 





Emily... 


And lastly-- 
I'm glad to look back on a year of blogging and seeing a community of new found friends!  I've enjoyed getting to know so many of you throughout the year of blogging.  So many women have a heart for caring for their homes, families, marriages, children and Glorifying God in their homes-- it is a blessing to see a renewed interest in women's hearts having a bent toward homemaking!  


Which brings me to today!!  
I got to meet a blogger buddy in person - I'm so excited to have made a connection with my new friend Lezlee     
from 'Priorlives' 





She is such a beautiful Godly person--we had lunch and chatted it up for 1 1/2 and still had a ton to talk about if time had allowed.  I feel like I've made a friend for life! 


And...I had my camera in my purse and can you believe it?  I didn't get a shot of us together!  UH! what was a thinking?  We were so busy talking... I just forgot. But we had an enjoyable time! She brought me two bags of old magazines... one of my many vises...and we have such similar interests it is hilarious! 




That's it ...that's my list.  I think I'm linking up here.... 

God Bless you 
and 
Thanks for reading!
