2012 in Review :: Part One

I had so much fun putting together a year in review post last year (part one and two) that I decided to do it again this year. It is a really good reminder of all the things that happened...and all the hair colours I went through. Here is the first half of the year.

- Made some pretty art out of old posters.

- Posted about Paying it Forward. I totally didn't realize it was that long ago. I still haven't sent my packages because I am the worst!

- Found the cutest paper dolls ever.

- Started & finished my first afghan.

- I showed off my sexy mullet.

- I wore my rainbow sweater that was once on an episode of 'What Not to Wear'.

- Started my 52 weeks of instax project. Promptly stopped my 52 weeks of instax project when I realized I was very short on film.

- Chantilly & I started a fun vlogging project together.

- Chantilly & I also hosted a craft night where we made plush cameras. That was really fun!

- Kaylah and I shared a thrifting video that we made. I still love it so much!

- Shared a really awesome Ohio thrift haul.

- I toured around Toronto as part of ModCloth's Travel Bug series.
