2012 in Review

I just love the freshness of a new year:

new ideas.

new possibilities.

new potential.

new anticipations.

But, I also think that before we look ahead to what’s to come, sometimes it’s fun to look back and see what’s already been done.

Here’s a little recap of the year here at Harbour Breeze.

JANUARY always brings with it an itch for me to get organized and more efficient. I started by moving my craft area down to the basement.

It started out pretty dreary and dingy.

Although there is still much to do down there, it is now a much brighter, happier place. {The singing washer and dryer help!}

{ I find it slightly ironic that one of my first “want to dos” of 2013 is yet again in the basement!}

FEBRUARY and MARCH were months of big change for this little blog. I made the switch to WordPress (unfortunately, there are never pretty pictures to document that gruelling process!) and opened an Etsy shop.

As I learned the ropes of Etsy, I did my first ever interview series with some of my favorite blogging and creative online business women. I loved reading and learning from their answers to all my burning questions.

In JULY, I spent a little time freshening up our master bedroom. We had already painted the once dark space a fresh, white color.

Adding light accessories with pops of blue accents turned it into a completely different space. And, almost all of it was done by just “shopping” in my own house!
