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.

  3. Wow! That’s a lot of posts and work! I have enjoyed reading each and every post! Thanks for all the inspiration! I’m truly blessed for having “met” you! Thanks! Happy New Year Gail!

  4. You did have a great year! I enjoyed your round up, I’m amazed that all those posts happened just this past year. Here’s to a wonderful exciting new year full of opportunities and most of all….great junk!

  5. Love all your projects. I am very excited to see what you have up your sleeve for 2012. Happy New Years to you and your family. Cheers!

  6. You had a good year Gail! Love all your chalkboard projects..Love all your projects. I had 430 posts, which is crazy and I WILL not be doing that again this year. Happy New year to you and your family!

  7. I had seen all the projects before, (some I have gone back to dozens of times) But I had never seen the gas can with Hens and chicks until now. I have a can just like yours that I just sit on the ground in my flower patch… I love the idea of the hens and chicks. Did that work well…Did they grow in there for you. Thanks.

  8. Like Chelsea I love all you creative projects. But if I had to pick, the kitchen make over is my favorite!
    Have a Happy New Year and may all your wishes in 2012 come true,
    Sue

  9. Love all your great projects! I nearly cried when I saw the “I love you a bushel and a peck” sign, my grandma would sing that to me when I was a little girl! I want to make her a sign like that! She would sing that to us and give us a big hard kiss and huge hugs around the necks! Love it!
