They say it's a wrap!

When I thought about doing the best of 2010 project post, I have to honestly say not one particular project or projects came to mind.   Let me take you down memory lane, a few projects, a few disasters later....
January 2010, After two long years of being on the decorating site RMS,(Rate my space) I just about had it over there. It was very positive in the beginning, and I formed many friendships, most of whom I interact with still on a regular basis. Unfortunately, it went sour for me and some other gals....But I like to think of it as a major stepping stone for me. Because of RMS........
I started my blog and my first post was about ME, and my purpose January 7, 2010 
 I did 57 posts my first Month! A little obsessive I would say.
February came quickly, and that is when I discovered all the fun Meme parties out there. I started to participate with Barb from Grits and Glamour in her weekly vignette party.  I never even knew what a vignette was, sounded good though!
March is when things really started kicking into gear for me.  I was anxious,and very excited about my new followers. It really inspired me to do more projects, I even started to do some outdoor table scapes.
 
APRIL, well that's my Birthday!  I have to say though, that month, I started to fizzle out here, feeling anxious about what I would do to keep everyone coming back and inspired.   I only had 14 posts, I was losing my MOJO.


MAY, kicked into gear for me, and I believe that is when I may have started my Before and After party, I already had my Garage salen party, but hey add more to my plate. 
This was my first lamp redo, and I could not get over the overwhelming comments on this post, I believe it was 90, for a lamp shade.
It really showed me how even  the little things can inspire so much. 
JUNE, JULY and AUGUST
Tried out for OPRAH: FAIL
 Ran over a can of red spray paint in the GARAGE: FAIL


Then before I knew it, it was back to school time for the boys.  Jack did not know how to write cursive, and I was so concerned. You all were so gracious to give your feedback and advise on that.  Turned out after all, it was no big deal.  He now can write it, and even read it most of the time.



By the time September rolled around. THings were getting a little overwhelming for me out here in Blog land.  I had now TWO parties, of course I brought that all on myself.....


By the time October came, I had forgotten about September and was quickly thinking about Halloween and parties. I do believe this is where the real slow down began for me.

I made my announcement that I would be taking a step back.  I gave up all my parties, and took a break.

Best thing I ever did.  I not only regrouped, I took a break from it all.  

I am much happier, my family is happier, and although I still spend a  lot of time blogging, I do not spend a lot of time obsessing over what I can and will do next.  I am taking it as it comes.  I don't have to do anything. There is no pressure at all.
November, December,
Time with family, friends and enjoying my life.

 
As we never know what tomorrow will bring.......Wishing you all Peace, Love and Happiness in the New Year.

Thank you so much for your friendships and encouragement.  You sure know how to make a girl feel good.
