Where Oh Where did the Year 2012 Go?

This is the 2nd part of My Trip Down 2012 Memory Lane.

My 2012 Memory Capsule ~ Part 1
I hope you enjoy these Memory Capsule Posts I am sharing and will join
me in reflecting on what the Year 2012 meant to you. I want to reflect
on what each month held within its grasps, whether it be related to
crafting, family, friends, or nonsense. I want to reflect to push me in
to full gear when I embark on the journeys ahead of me in the upcoming
year ~2~0~1~3~!
I want to set so many goals for 2013 and want more to accomplish them. I
hope to bear witness to others setting and achieving their own personal
goals, too. I wish to make new friends and connect with others so that
we can bounce our creativity off of each other. I hope to watch the
connections that were made in 2012, blossom into beautiful
relationships!
I started this Personal Series of Memory Capsule Posts with my Reflections of the Months,
January through June of 2012. Today, I start with where I left off in my last post.
This Part 2 Post will highlight my Reflections of the Months, July
through December 2012. I value your input, comments, and any ideas you wish to share as a result of
reading through my Blog and gazing at my pictures.
I will also share a
Personal Series of my 2013 Goals which I will set for myself in hopes that I
can always look back and revisit my accomplishments to encourage more
Goal Setting further down the line. There is always room for improvement, in my book!
I will be spending some time gathering up some fun Crafty Goodies to offer as a
Giveaway
if we have enough people joining in, reading along and sharing their
input. So, it wouldn't hurt to share this with your friends so they
know there is a
Prize Up for Grabs! And, I promise, I will make the Prize a
GOOD One, so your efforts and time spent reading along, do not go unnoticed!
~~~REFLECTIONS~~~
July 2012
Altered Memo Board
So, a while back, I stocked up on an amazing deal. I ended up buying about a dozen of this style memo board along with about a dozen of two other styles. I anticipated doing some fun altering with them and in July, I created this sparkly fun one for my sweet Step Daughter Gabriella.
I really love my Krylon Glitter Blast

Shaquettes gathered their talent and participated in a fun Crafty Challenge
for the 4th of July,
Red White and Blue Challenge
We had an amazing turn out number of entries and I was delighted to see so many joining in the fun!
I was eager to post the showcase of projects at the Blog and couldn't wait to announce the winners.
Here are all of the Shaquettes entries
this is another entry we had for the challenge, but the picture was lost in cyber space.....UNTIL NOW!
Thanks for finding it and sharing it again Kathryn!!!
August 2012
Altered Chipboard Birdhouse
I posted a lot of step by step instructions on how I created this darling birdhouse. I covered it with fun papers and cute embellishments. And since School was ready to start back, I made it School Themed!
August was a wonderful month to show our LOVE for a fellow Crafter and Friend who has faced some uphill climbs during 2012. I was honored to join the efforts of
Paper Make Up Stamps and show
Jennifer Scull how much she is appreciated.
She is quite the talented crafter and is an inspiration to us all, to always smile and keep your chin held high!
Here is the fun layout I created in her Honor!
Head over to join in the fun...great ideas.....fun prizes!!!!
