Ah, 2011. A year that was good to me, that kicked me around, that in the end felt just a bit static. Onward to 2012 and all it may hold, I say. But for now, here's a look back at all that was 2011.
January: I shared beauty tips and explain how to get the perfect blowout.
February: We all know there are lions and tigers and bears out in the woods. (Okay, maybe just bears.) But back in February, I could have sworn things of more magical nature were lurking out there too.
March: Birthday month. Which always seems to evoke worry. And where there's worry, there's plenty of cathartic knitting.
April: The garden began. I got some nice recognition for my writing. (Hooray!)
May: I managed a quick getaway to Chicago with my friend Sarah before heading back to full time work at the museum.
June: Juggled the "back to work" balancing act.
July:
Crafting weekend came north!
August: I decided to put everything I saw into jars. I mean, everything.
September: While the garden grew and grew, the forest decided to catch on fire.
October: I found writing encouragement in an unexpected place and explained the cyclical nature of seasonal employment.
November: A month filled with bounty of venison.
December: There was a murder, ice, and a bit of Christmas cheer.
What was your favorite 2011 memory? Share it in the comments below.
Note: I'm still caught up in holiday hoopla. I'll be back in earnest come January 2nd. Until, then, a happiest new year to all of you! Cheers to 2012!
