Merry Christmas- Sharing one of this year’s highlights!

December 19, 2020 by Sharon

Merry Christmas! I’m ending the year with this post and sharing one of my biggest highlights of the year- being shared on one of my favorite blogs!

Merry Christmas

Highlight of 2020

One of my biggest highlights of 2020 happened today. A link to my post on making Christmas trees out of costume jewelry was shared on a blog that I have followed for years- Thistlewood Farms. KariAnne not only writes this great decor blog, but she has led a blogging class I’ve been part of since August.

KariAnne is the real deal, and if you don’t follow her, please do so today. I love her style, but it’s her sweet personality that shines through with everything she does.

Every Saturday she creates a roundup post of things she finds around the web (like my Peak of the Week), and this week she added one of my posts. Sharing another person’s post is a huge blessing to anyone out there who shares their thoughts and ideas! So, thank you KariAnne! Little did I know when I joined your group that it would help me maneuver through a pandemic the way it has. Your group has kept me busy and thinking- which has been huge in my life!! What a great escape you, your group, and your blog have been for me!

I leave you and this strange year by wishing you a very Merry Christmas, and a wonderful 2021. I’m so looking forward to 2021. 2020 has taught us all a lot! I hope I allow what I’ve learned about myself to help me grow and change. I know that I certainly need to!!

Here’s to 2021
