Last week I shared my Top 10 posts from 2012. The list was based on the number of times that the posts had been viewed by readers. There were a couple of posts that showed up in the top 10, but they were from previous years, so I didn’t include them in the 2012 round up.
But now I’m gonna.
Here are my 5 most popular posts since I started my blog back in 2008…

This is such a great way to up-cycle those plastic eggs! By the way, I’ll be doing a live demonstration of how to make these at CHA 2013 at the Anaheim Convention Center this coming Monday January 14 at 11:00 in the Plaid Crafts booth, #1401)

So glad to have found your blog via pinterest. I have become your newest follower and look forward to reading your future posts. I have to check out your post on drying hydrangeas. I plan to try that this summer.

I knew that burner thing would be on there!
