2009~A Year in Review

Stop by Cindy's My Romantic Home to join 2009~A Year in Review. Visit everyone's blog
and see the progress and reviews of this year!
It's fun to go back and see the progress made when you've been blogging for a while.

For me, it's just been 8 1/2 months. April 19 I typed out my first post. So looking back, there have been changes for the better. Even my photos have improved. Before 'Robin's Egg Blues', I had the title; 'White Linen ~ Lavender Field'. I still love Lavender and the color.

This is one of my old headers above.

My badge that was made by a fellow blogger.

I still love it. Thank you Cathe Holden @ Just Something I Made! I purchased a spot on her blog for a

couple of months to promote WLLF and she volunteered to make this badge.

Collection of white linen mosaic. I had posted this back in June.

My trip to Wisconsin in July was so fun and seeing all of my people was

refreshing. Click on the mosaic to enlarge and get a better view. The photo on the top right is my dad's garden. All of his gardens are lush and produce

the best organic vegetable. If you click on the mosaic you see their little grape vine trellis. The reflection

of trees in the water is a tiny snippet of the beautiful Wolf River. The pretty roses are my mother's. An old schoolhouse used for town meetings in a little town in northern Wisconsin. The old road with the canopy of trees is part of the Nicolet National Forest. The old lighthouse overlooks Lake Winnebago in Fond du Lac.

My Creative Space, hosted by Karen Valentine @ My Desert Cottage;

 'Where Bloggers Create'. That was a blast back in July! It motivated me to

carve out a little space to craft and gather all of my things

and put them on display. Most of my furniture here is vintage, the hutch is in need of

some sanding and white paint.

A post done on my great Aunt Lottie's homestead in northern Wisconsin, showed

photos of their old log cabin and some of her yard. The above photo is upstairs, her brass bed

has the vintage old look and so does the coloring in the photo.

Then I decided White Linen~Lavender Field needed a change.

So 'Robins Egg Blues' came in. The Tiffany blues, aquas, and robin's egg blue

have soothed and calmed the inner beast. These colors really are relaxing. I am inspired to paint a couple of rooms in these beautiful blues.

Mosaic Christmas headers, used this month. To me blogging is all about

creating, finding a place to relax and read, gain some insight and kick back some.

Robin's Egg Blues first giveaway was so successful!

So I did another giveaway that proved successful as well.

Thanks to all who commented!

One of the best parts of blogging are keeping in touch with family and friends made here. There were many posts about family and life in general. As well as new crafts and techniques.
I could have posted here a mile long...

Thank you for coming by and commenting.

May all of you have a wonderful and blessed New Year!

Happy Blogging!
