How many of you remember my Shoulder Surgery? Therapy consumed my entire winter! Whew! So glad to be over with that! Longest 8 weeks of my life in that sling!
I'm so thankful to say that today, I am 99% back! I have full range of motion and strength. Yay!
I can't believe I'm saying this, considering I've made a bunch of wreaths... but this year, I made my very First Spring Wreath. I can't wait for spring to put it back up!
The den got a little TLC this year... I painted a wall, easing back into the swing of things from my shoulder surgery. I also updated the shelves in there, giving them a vintage vibe.
Decorating Bookcases With A Vintage Vibe
One of my favorite projects was making these Vintage License Plate Crates.
The highlight of the year was my daughter's shower and wedding! I had soooo much fun working on her bridal shower. 😍

Before you knew it, the leaves were turning colors, the sun was setting sooner and we were in the thick of fall.... I decided to go a completely different direction with some of my fall decor.
Changing Up Fall Decor
One of may FAVORITE recipes this year... I mean FAVORITE!!! Like Hubby and I want to eat this every week kind of favorite!
Spaghetti Squash Chicken Bacon Broccoli Casserole
This recipe is perfect in every way! 💕
The last project I'm going to share, is one that I felt great accomplishment in doing. My porch planters were something I dreamed about making for years. I just never made the time for them. I am sooo glad I finally did!!! Hubby was a dear to help me with them!
How To Build Porch Planters
That was a quick year! Now we are jumping right into 2018!
So what's in store for The Stonybrook House in 2018? Two things I know for sure!
One, I'm dropping the ads on my blog. I have had too many complaints with spammy re-directs and trouble actually reading my blog. I'm not saying that I won't ever have ads again, but hopefully the problems I've been having will stop. 😊
The other thing I have planned is a complete master bedroom makeover. Hubby and I will be celebrating 30 years of marriage in February and we have NEVER decorated our bedroom. I have some really neat things in store and I can not wait to get started. Yay!
I've been contemplating a few other things and honestly, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I've considered bring back some fashion posts. I can't really do the Fashion Over 40 again, because I'm a bit over 50 now 😉... but I'm thinking about something along those lines. I've also considered doing recipes on a more consistent basis. I love healthy recipes, but I also love to indulge in cake baking, so we'll see...
When I look back on 2017, I have so much to be thankful for! God has continued to be faithful to me as always and I am thankful for all His many blessings.
For 2018, I'm excited for the new year and I can't wait to see all that God has planned....💗💗💗
Happy New Year!!
Blessings!
Are you ever returning to your cluttering? I find her methods most fun.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane! Yes! I need to get back to decluttering me ENTIRE house! Loved the Kon Mari Method and hopefully I will be doing that this year!
