Top 10 Posts of 2012

Hello World!  Did everyone have a fun and safe New Year's Eve?  We were completely low key and by some definition completely boring.  I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and do a post about my top 10 posts from 2012. 
In the Top 10 spot was my post on 

 In the 9th spot was A Light for the New Year.  Spotlighting one of last year's Christmas gifts, the Rosetta Lantern from Pottery Barn. 

 In the 8th spot was the post on My Birthday Gift.  New outdoor dining set that we have used quite a bit.  

In the 7th spot was another cleaning spotlight.  I was really surprised how many page views 

Next up in the 6th spot was Dressing the Dining Room Window.  

 Hanging out in 5th place was my post on A Few Books to Adore.

 In 4th place was my Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings post.


In the 3rd spot was More Color in the Garden.  
In the 2nd spot was my Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls. 
And, now for the 1st place in the Top Ten of 2012.  Staining the Banister.  This post blew the rest of the posts out of the water in regards to page views.  
Who knew staining the banister would be such a hit.  It was probably one of the easiest projects I've ever done.  So, there you have it; my top 10 for 2012.  Thank you for dropping by for a visit.  Make it Pretty Monday is still open.  Drop on by and link up dare I say it Valentine decor...I kid, I kid.  Click here to go straight to the party.  Have a pretty day and remember to be kind to one another.

Toodles, 
Kathryn

    Some projects may seem simple but they are about the day to day things that make a home special and a great help to all of us. Thanks for sharing so much last year and hosting such a great party!

      Other than the banister, the cleaning and gardening posts got the most pageviews. Thanks for all of your visits and sweet comments. Happy New Year! Toodles, Kathryn

    It's fun to get feedback like that, to see what people like to read. I've gotta get me some bar keepers best friend now.

    You had some really great projects here. I think my favorite of these though is that chair- I just love the colors-oh...and the bannister, too! xo Diana

    Kathryn, without a doubt, your staircase rails get my voice forever. I so wish you could hop a plane and help me do mine. I know....I'm a bit afraid to go there alone! Thanks for all the great parties and notes over the past few months. Helen
