Here we are with another year having passed… where did it go?!! It was another rough year health-wise with that horrid 3 month migraine, then my surgery, and helping the folks after dad’s surgery. Health and family first = less crafting time. I was pleased to see I still managed to publish 63 posts during the year. I still have a few queued up as drafts that I just haven’t been able to finish off… hopefully I’ll get caught up this coming year.
There were over 2.570 visitors to this blog from 67 countries this year, including the 79 of you who are followers. And they kindly took the time to leave over 860 comments. Thank you all for your encouraging support! I promise not to bother your inbox any more this year. : )
I was pleased that a couple of my creations received special recognition this year…
- On October 25, 2018 I was honored to be the Art Impressions Challenge Top Pick
For THIS card:
- October 13, 2018: I was please to be selected by Emerald Creek Dares top three
for THIS card:
Here are the three blog posts that got the most comments from you sweeties. If you missed any and want to see the post, just click on the pic:
You’ll notice they’re kitty themes… Us cat lovers tend to be vociferous! >^.^< Of course the Cat Lovers Hop falls in October and that’s always the month I get the most visitors. There’s some adage about ‘birds of a feather,’ but I reckon cats go FURther! : )
And, the only non-paper craft project to draw top attention from y’all:
On Instagram I was amazed to hit 250 followers and have 2391 likes on my 77 posts there this year. Here are the top 9 with the most likes from y’all (22% of the total!)… actually there are 10, as the last two tied, so I squeezed them into one frame. : )

I was floored to find out that, in the almost 4 years (coming up in March) that I’ve been posting on this blog, the 362 posts had 9,384 visitors from 92 countries. Once again, I cannot thank you all enough for your generous support of my crafting adventures! I’m looking forward to seeing where the whim takes me next year and having you come along with me on the journey!
Hugs,

Ooh, I recognize almost all of those cards, especially the cat ones and the 3-D designs. I admire your expertise with 3-D cards, and willingness to tackle a variety of techniques and projects, as I’m pretty much all thumbs when it comes to unusual folds or new products. Some of my favorites are the cat projects, but I also LOVED that beautiful pink shell. Thanks for always making me smile.
