2014 ~ *Year in Review!*

Hi friends! 
We're home from our incredible vacation in the mountains ~
filled with a White Christmas and snowy adventures!
It was an absolute gorgeous end to the year,
one I am so grateful to have shared with my beautiful family ♥
 
And ...
 I can't believe 2014 is at it's end!
It's been a wonderful, whirlwind year filled with many blessings,
a few surprises and some challenges as well
but that is exactly the journey that life always holds for us :)
 
This is the time that I always post my favorite cards from last year,
one for each month!
Looking back at the year, I realize my crafting style didn't morph that much -
I will ALWAYS love and use buttons most of all as they are my very, very
favorite embellishment,
followed by lots of layers of designer paper!
 
So here we go :)
 
January
 

 
February

December
 


On a personal note, this was definitely my most challenging year
as a crafter  ~ with a lesser amount of cards getting blogged
than the previous years.

I do so love this craft!
I enjoy putting ink to paper and seeing what comes up ♥
I hope 2015 allows me to stay in the game, so to speak -
it's getting harder to do so with so many other priorities
and changes ahead, but I'm hopeful that my Cabana will still leave the light on
for the moments I'm able to stop in and get inky!

Thanks for peeking at my year in review!

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
