Happy New Year, friends. The beginning of a brand new year always feels so refreshing and invigorating, but before I turn my full attention to 2012, I’d like to look back at a few projects I shared with you during the past year. Out of 101 posts, these are my five favorites.
Without a doubt, my favorite creative project of 2011 was opening {rachel+paper}, my online paper goods shop. It’s so much fun to turn a dream into a lovely little reality.
Visiting the American Girl Place in New York City in October inspired me to sew more doll clothing and accessories, and the flannel nightgown I made was my favorite sewing project of the year. The soft pink flannel with tiny stars was the perfect fabric for a little nightgown.
Something about these tiny packets of paper heart confetti made me really happy back in February. It might have had something to do with the fact that I gave them all away to unsuspecting friends when I was in Virginia for the weekend.
The birthday photoshoot with the large number 8 turned out even better than I hoped, and the birthday girl loved it as much as I did. Number 9 will need sparkles, I think.
My final favorite post of 2011 was actually a whole series of posts about Zippy, our Elf on the Shelf. The kids loved looking for him each morning, and I heard the most delightful giggles when they found him.
Thanks so much for joining me here during 2011. I can’t wait to see what 2012 will bring!
