Reflectings of a Crafting Year!!

So, I know that you think I had fallen off the face of the earth, but no, I did not, just have been extremely busy.  I have actually completed a lot of crafts this year.  Some I finished up literally minutes before they had to be given as gifts so I wasn't able to take a picture of the finished product, but I have listed out everything that I can remember and added a picture if I have it.  **More pictures to come later**

So, let's start with my recap!
