Top Ten Posts of 2012

2012 was a turning point for me into a new season of life. I have one daughter now married, a son in college and my two 8th graders that I am still homeschooling. My husband is serving as worship leader at a new church and we are settling in there with our two teenagers.
I have devoted much of this year to researching and praying for guidance for Marty’s Musings. What started out as merely a family journal has taken the turn into pursuing opportunities to make my blog profitable. I’ve learned so much and met many wonderful people. My hopes and dreams for 2013 are for this blog to encourage others through my posts on both DIY projects and the personal side of our story.
Here are the 10 posts that received the most traffic (from Google Analytics for June-December 2012).
Scrapbook Room Organization is a must for those who love to look at other people’s craft rooms as much as I do!
Best Frozen Punch Recipe is truly the best punch for entertaining. Easy to prepare ahead of time and dearly loved by my family.
Our Blessing Jar is indeed a family tradition, a way of remembering to be grateful for each day.
Den Makeover is probably the room in our home that changed the most in both looks and function. It is such a fun room!
How to Decorate with Pallet Shelves was a free and easy project!
Window Table Decor gave me a chance to accent the window table my husband built for me.
How to Make a Window Table made me incredibly proud of my husband and his DIY skills.
No Mantel to Decorate? No Problem! I loved my Christmas decor this year. It was simple and no cost!
Branch Candle Centerpiece shows my hubby again making a Pinterest project for me.
Scrapbook Room Paper Storage shows off my ridiculously excessive (but totally pleasing) scrapbook paper collection!
These posts got the most page views but do you have a different favorite?

My favorite is the pallet shelf. I pass these on the side of the road on trash day all the time. Next week. . . look out! 🙂 Thanks for the great idea.
Stopping by via Boogieboard Cottage. LOVE that window table. Just beautiful. I’d say you must be mighty proud of what you accomplished in 2012. Terrific!

Marty, Your top ten posts are just beautiful! You have such talent. Thanks for linking up to our Strut Your Stuff Saturday! Happy New Year! -The Six Sisters
Love the pallet shelf! What a great idea, it looks fabulous! I love the rustic look of it!
Love the pallet shelf! Looks great in your living room. You’ve inspired me to do something similar. 🙂
Your organizational skills have inspired me! I did post about my studio in December and was forced to clean that up, but there are still so many areas I want to tackle! Your scrapbooking area is impressive indeed, I wish I had the patience for that! Your children will be blessed with wonderful visual memories. Thanks for sharing,
Jenna
all I can say is WOW! I really love the shelf! it really is so awesome! and 2012 definitely does sound like it has been a busy year for your family!
