Let's End This Year Once and For All

The end is near and I couldn't be happier. The end of 2012 that is! It has really been a wonderful year for us, but the pace was really overwhelming.  I finally have a sense of renewal and feel like I am moving forward in a very positive direction! Those of you who have followed me have heard alot of my trials and tribulations. Now, I am getting back to the things I love. Thrifting, antiquing and sewing. I have a painted project started, and hope to finish it before the weekend.  I will definitely start Restyled Sundays back up this weekend, so get your projects ready. I'll be back tomorrow to share my plans for the year. 2012 was a big crash and burn on the restyling front. But, I was able to reach some other big life goals that will enable me to have more time for the joy in life.

I'll see you right here tomorrow. I am not setting resolutions, just goals and desires. Don't go to crazy partying tonight.

Restyled Sundays #45

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays !

Thanks to all of you who are still around and especially those who shared a post last week.

I am slowly digging out of the mess at my house, but did get my folks down to one storeroom last week. Yeah! We have to take little victories as they come. :)

My son is busy painting a vanity that is going to be beautiful, I can't wait to show it to you.

He delivered the first two projects to his client last week and she was thrilled. Maybe he has a new business sprouting. He is really enjoying it.

Now, let me show off my favorite projects from last week:

Paul and Cathy from One Creative Couple took an old

chair and turned it into a masterpiece!

Lynn from Cottage and Creek transformed an old sad table into

a simply lovely side table.

Catherine from Freddy and Petunia took an old wall lamp and

gave it some out of this world character!

Now let's see what you have been up to this week!

Apron Thrift Girl

I didn't get this post up last week, but I have taken the Apron Thrift Girl's ReSeller's Listing Challenge. I have pledged to list 100 items in 4 weeks to my Etsy store to bring more great stuff out there to my readers and all vintage lovers. I did not do so great this week, only listing about or 8 items. I got busy getting my tax info ready to go to the accountant instead. Priorities! Oh well, I have 3 weeks left, so I better get busy.

2010 Has Come to a Close and Resolutions for 2011

Well, this has been a crazy year! I have been so involved in my booth at the antique store, along with my day job, that I have not had alot of time to post to my blog. My goals for the upcoming year are as follows: 1. Post regularly 2. Take before photos 3. Get a new camera to improve my pics. 4. Catch up on all of my painting before I buy more furniture to paint. 5. Master Mod Podge 6. Join more linky parties 7. Find more ways to repurpose and restyle my finds. 8. Clean out my stash of projects. Ok, now that I have that off of my chest, I am going to get ready to head to the neighbors house for a fun New Years Eve Party! I hope you all are ringing in the new year in style! Ann
