Top 10 Posts of 2016

in Blogger

There are MANY things I’ve learned in my 6 years of blogging, but knowing what’s going to be popular one year vs the next isn’t one of them. While I can’t say I’m surprised by the ones that are on this list, I also wanted to showcase some additional favorites I launched this year that didn’t make the top list.

I look forward to seeing what you find inspiring and pin in 2017!

YES – I’m getting THAT far ahead of the game! Oh and PS this wasn’t even my most popular elf post as the Elf Ideas for a 2 year old post was clicked on WAYYYY more this season!

Also, leave a comment if you have those rose worms that eat the leaves and have a suggested solution to get rid of them! They don't seem to be affecting my blooms but eat holes in the leaves!
