It is that time of the year when I look back at last year’s posts and see what worked, what didn’t and which ones were most popular with you, the Crafty readers.
It is always interesting. There is a mix of posts that have been popular in previous years along with some new ones in the mix. Some posts were popular because they were perfect for a particular holiday like Easter or Christmas, while others just seemed to be useful all year round.
Here’s a look back:
