Hey there party people!

My vacation this week was totally unplanned and completely perfect.

Let me tell you:  Sometimes you have to ignore all the, “but I’m supposed to’s” in your life, shut the so called laptop, and just breathe.

Take a little time to smell the Johnson’s in your babies’ hair, and stay in your pajamas for a day.

Who am I kidding?

Stay in them for a couple of days.

I’ve been missing you guys, though.

The possibilities this new year holds are floating around in my head and tugging at my heart.  But before we jump in head first, I thought we could look back at the year in projects.

Here’s a round up of 20 of my favorite DIY/Before & After projects of 2011.
