Freestyle Friday #22!

Well, it's been a fun year for me, getting the hang of being a mom, becoming a blogger, and getting more involved with my writing group.  But I am definitely ready to see what new things 2012 brings - how about you?

It's the last Freestyle Friday link party of 2011, so I think it would be fun to share anything you like from 2011!  Your favorite post, your most popular, even your very first post if you're a new blogger this year!  Obviously, new stuff is welcome too - but anything goes this week!


A quick note before moving on to party business - there are still a couple days left to vote in the solids-only tote challenge I'm a part of.  If you liked my Storm Trooper Bag, I would love your vote over at sew la vie!  Thanks so much!!


I didn't post much this week, but take a look around!  My blogging time was spent giving Happy Hour a little facelift instead - and checking out your amazing projects from last week!  Let's see a few highlights!

Seven Alive's Crochet Snowflakes
Mrs. Fox's Sweets' Salt Dough Ornaments
(I had every intention of making these before we all got sick last week, boo!)
Holly in the Snow Ornaments by Crafty and Cooking Momma
Awesome Casserole Carrier Tutorial by Love of Sewing
A really beautiful share by Kissed By A Frog (Thanks, Jenni!)
Amazing-Looking Bacon Mac & Cheese by Fun with the Fullwoods
So awesome!  Thank you to everyone who linked up!  If you were featured, feel free to grab a brand-spanking new button from the sidebar or from the buttons page. :)

Now - let's see what you've got - remember, link up anything from 2011!
