Hello 2017! I’m 6 days late with that proclamation, but that basically sums up my life these days, always late and usually excited! This little blog of mine will be 7 years old in February. I started it back in 2010 while I was a high school special education teacher when I was single and kidless. Look at me know! I feel so adult these days, ha! (Maxwell’s birth story and Mila’s birth story.)
Every year since 2011, I put together a list of the top C.R.A.F.T. posts of the year. Here are the top 10 posts in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.
Top 15 C.R.A.F.T. posts of 2016:
1. 44 diy adult costumes: 361,782 page views–This post now ranks as most viewed post on C.R.A.F.T. for 5 years in a row! I heart Halloween costumes too, y’all. Did you see my baby koala and tree costumes this year? We had a total of 4 Halloween costume changes in 2016.
