This has been an amazing year.
And this has been an extremely sad year, too. My blog has grown by leaps and bounds. But on a personal level, I lost my sweet Daddy who was one of my biggest blogging fans. Each night I stayed with him, he wanted me to get out my laptop and show him my latest post, and at the end of the month he would ask what I had earned on my blog. He didn’t understand it all, but he was amazed that I could “pound the keys” of a computer and make money. 🙂 This week, I am doing four posts sharing a few of the highlights from the blog in The 2016 Year in Review at The Everyday Home.

January 2016
After the holidays, I added some Cozy Elements to the Breakfast Room for Winter.
These Ham, Swiss and Pineapple Popovers are a favorite after-school treat for the kids!
More ideas for adding “Cozy” to your home with these Easy “10-Minute” Winter Decor Ideas!
This was one of my most popular crafts from last year – a DIY Winter Wreath.
To me, January is always the month that inspires me to organize my home. Here are
15 Great Pantry Organizing Ideas.

February 2016
As January said good-bye, I was looking for some ideas to add touches of Spring to our home.
These Eggshell Violet Planters were the perfect thing.
For Valentine’s Day, I shared these cute Valentine’s Day Cupcakes in a Jar.
I also had my eyes set on Easter, which was just around the corner. This cute Easter Egg Garland was
a perfect project for my Breakfast Room.
My family loves these Buffalo Chicken Crescent Roll Rings.

March 2016
I shared our trip to England, including a visit to one of my fave places in the UK – Hever Castle, childhood home of Anne Boleyn. This is the Hever Castle Inn where we stayed.
Part II of the Hever Castle Tour can be seen HERE.
I created a bright and Springy Farmhouse Kitchen for Spring.
Another very popular post last year were my Homemade Pie Crust Crackers.
I paired them with a yummy salad with my Homemade Tuscan Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette.
I shared a cute Mason Jar & Lelly Bean Centerpiece…
And take a look at this Easy 2-Step Wreath Idea…

April 2016
As Spring started rolling around, I was getting into Gardening mode. Me and The Hubbs made
these Bean TeePee Frames.
I also shared my Raised Bed Garden Plans…
I also crafted this Easy Ivy Topiary.
I shared the Before’s and After’s of one of my fave Flip Houses, the last one we did as a family before my Daddy passed away.
I showed how I easily organized a messy cabinet…

I am trying in vain to find the directions to complete the quilt batting wreath. Every time I click on the link I am sent back to the top of the page. I have done this more times than a reasonably smart person would admit!! Can you give me some insight, please! Everything I see here is classy and beautiful. So glad I found you on Pinterest!

Barb, I love your fuzzy wreath. Is the Fuzzy Fabric actually the name of the Fuzzy Fabric? I have been looking for it and can’t find it. Would appreciate your feedback.
