beginning or end?

 

What a great year, huh?

So many things have changed, I can't even begin to list them. 

This time last year

  I had this energy hogger, sucker of every ounce of creativity, creature living inside of  me 

I was prego.

 Along with a 6 year old sweet and innocent boy.

This year I have a (in 6 days)  1 year old growing like a weed,energetic,smart baby boy ; A 7 year old TOTAL BOY who likes girls {ggrrrr} , looks and talks like he's 17 who has developed  beyond belief and straight from his mouth,"Not a kid anymore." 

Are ya kiddin' me?!

Let's not get started on that.......

2010 was the beginning of MommaHen. My very first post April 22, 2010 .

I never knew I could be of inspiration until a friend of ours told me numerous times how I inspired her to actually decorate and create things of her own. I didn't realize there were people out there that didn't know you could actually design a room aside from going to Wal-mart and buying everything out of the prepackaged and designed "outhouse bathroom collection" or the "Apple kitchen collection" 

I've told you before how I grew up with an amazingly creative mother who did what she wanted,colored outside the lines. She taught me to do what I love, because I love it. I want to show people they CAN create a home that they love, they can paint a wall with no fear, take a junky piece of furniture and turn it into an original , one of a kind perfect piece for their home. This is why I started MommaHen. If I can inspire one person , I've done my job! All the sweet , motivating comments on all my work doesn't hurt either.

{grin}

One thing I didn't know when starting this blogging adventure: Is how much all of YOU inspire me! Creativity keeps me sane . You guys keep me going!

My most popular post of the year:

#1 My sofa overhaul. It's funny that this one was so popular. The only reason I did this project: I'm broke and wanted a cute little slip covered sofa like the ones I see at PotteryBarn. I'm so glad you guys liked it!

#2 Changing table gift. This was a fun project because it was a gift for a friend. she really enjoys it and that makes me super happy! 

#3 Branches and bird dresser. This was also for the same friend. She already owned this piece and had me paint it. I love how it turned out.

#4 PotteryBarn canvas painting knockoff. No cost knockoff...what more could ya ask for?

Thank you to all of my new blogger friends for all your support. I hope to bring LOTs more this year. Clawfoot tub,cabinetry,bead board,lots of white, and seaside goodness are waiting to be a part of my big 2011 bathroom overhaul!
