HAPPY 2013!! Who made resolutions? I admittedly have not, really. I know there are a few things circling around in my head that I would like to accomplish and putting them in writing might mean that you’ll hold me to it. So let’s not start this year off with that kind of pressure, K? ;)
I started this blog adventure on October 1st, 2012 and it’s been an exciting three months over here at ALC. It has flown by and yet it seems like it’s been over a year in some ways. I have “met” so many amazing people and I love hearing your stories and reading about your projects and seeing your comments! I have A LOT of great ideas and posts planned for 2013 and I am just thrilled you are here in my little corner of blog land, following along. Let’s face it. You all inspire me to create and, in turn, hopefully I can inspire you right back!
I have added a handful of my “most read” 2012 posts below, but first I leave you with this… Every single day is new. Let’s make it a great year:
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Looking back on 2012:

All the best in 2013, my friends!!

I love the card catalog, Claire! Thanks so much for joining in on Whimsy Wednesdays!
Happy New Year Claire…I sure wish peoples page statuses would show up in my feed. I have to lurk all over to find them.
Thanks Debbie! I know – Facebook doesn’t make it easy on us at all! Hope it’s a great year for you as well!
