Wow... it is incredible to think that this weekend will be the last one of 2012. It has been an incredible year, filled with many blessings (meeting my amazing group of friends, landing a teaching job, growing this amazing blog) and also struggles (my good friends battle with brain cancer being the biggest one). However, I wouldn't trade anything that happened this year, because with every struggle and challenge, you find yourself growing, and you find the challenge turning itself into a positive as a overcome it.
With regards to blogging, Becoming Martha has grown soooo much this year. At the beginning of 2012, I had under 200 followers on GFC and didn't even have a facebook page. Now I have a wonderful following and the best readers who leave the most encouraging comments. I have a little tribe of fellow bloggers who I am now lucky enough to call my friends as well. Life is definitely good - both personal life and blog life.
I thought since the year was over, and since I have grown so much, I would do a recap of my top 10 projects from the year - five are the readers top posts based on pageviews and comments, and five are my personal faves that perhaps you haven't seen because most readers weren't around the blog in the first half of the year. So, let's start the countdown, shall we?
10. Christmas Planner Printable
9. DIY Word Art for Any Season
8. Wonton Taco Cups
7. Felt Leaf and Pom Pom Garland
6. Tutorial series - How to Use GIMP (a free photo editing software similar to Photoshop).png)
