I wrote a mere 412 posts last year, can you believe it? There were a lot of giveaways, some reviews, lots of vinyl projects, tons of tutorials and many repurposed items. What were my favorites? What were your favorites?

Let’s take a look back–

wow! It’s been a busy year! I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who support me  & My Repurposed Life. I have made so many wonderful friends, I’ve met some of you in real life and hope to meet many more of you in the upcoming year.

There are great things happening for My Repurposed Life, and I feel so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful community.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being there for me. One of the posts that had the most comments was when the tree fell on my house. Isn’t it amazing how we can care so much about people whom we’ve never met? I treasure your friendships more than you will ever know.

To my new friends, I hope you have found something in this post to inspire you to DIY and repurpose something that is unwanted and destined for the garbage! I’m always here to help out and answer any questions you might have.

2012 is going to be a great year for me, doors opening to wonderful, exciting opportunities! Stay tuned!

Here’s wishing you more happiness
Than all my words can tell,
Not just alone for New Years Eve
But for all the year as well.

  1. I guess you know the twins are my favorite project you’ve done…it’s not because of the cabinets though, it’s because that’s when I got to meet you for the first time. :)Thanks for the comment on my childhood memories post…it’s good to know I have friends that were poor right along with me. 🙂 I know 2012 is gonna be a good year for you…you deserve that and so much more!Love you dearly my sweet friend!Missy

  2. That is a year of outstanding projects. I think my favorite is the desk into chest. So perfect for those of us with small houses and tiny bedrooms, and those chests are hard to find and expensive, but desks are a dime a dozen (not really) at the thrift store.
