Decluttering Tips, Dough Bowl Decor ideas and What to Do With Mason Jars have been the favorite topics on the blog this year!
Instead of a traditional top ten review, I thought I would figure out which topics you found the most intriguing this past year. Today’s post will focus on the topics of decluttering various areas of your home, decorating dough bowls (big surprise, I know) and how to use all those mason jars!
Yesterday, we looked back at the favorite recipes and food related blog posts for the year. If you missed it, you can find it here: Favorite Recipes
So, grab a mug of hot cider and get ready for a look back!
A Quick Thank You
Before I get started with the review, I’d like to take the thyme to thank you for following me on my journey!
Perhaps you found my blog via a blog hop, a link party, a Google search or via Hometalk. Regardless of how you started following me, I am so glad you are here! My name is Kimberly and I have a passion for flowers (a former florist) and flour (a former pizzeria owner) and many things in between! Especially rusty and chippy items!
Mother’s Day Forget Me Not Dough Bowl
I love to share all the things I have learned over the years. Sometimes I tell stories about my life. Other times, I will share a craft or a recipe. I do like to use the word “thyme” instead of “time” in my writing!
Now it is thyme to get started on our year in review!
