If you’re anything like me, you’re always running a little late when it comes to making/buying gifts..
Every time that happens, I swear I’ll be better about it next time around.
Which didn’t work this time either.. Oops!

So, for anybody out there that’s a last-minute gift maker/buyer like me, I’ve compiled a list of gift ideas that can still be made in time for Mother’s Day . For anybody else, it may be an inspiration for next year or an upcoming Birthday. ;)

You’ve probably seen these posts all over blogland by now and are probably thinking: “please, not another one”.. I just couldn’t help myself but hop on the bandwagon and create a top-10-posts-from-2012-post. ;)

I really can’t believe we will be starting the year 2013 in just a few hours. I really am looking forward to the new year and to seeing what it will have in stock for us. If it’s anything like 2012, it will be pretty amazing!

Thank you so much for all of your support throughout the year, leaving amazing comments and sharing your own creativity! I really had a blast and am so grateful for each and single one of you! You really are the reason blogging has been so much fun! ;)

Sooo, according to my site stats, these are my top 10 posts from 2012:
