Growing in Unity - Day 1 {Mon Chapeau Chaud}

Here we are the very last day of 2012.  How was it for you? For me, a wonderful year...too much work, but wonderful all the same.

My highlights were:

(1) Visiting the west coast to see my daughter and her grandfather
(2) Lots of arts and crafts
(3) Many long walks with my lil babes in the woods
(4) Visiting with my sister at Thanksgiving
(5) Spending time with my husband

What were your highlights?

While you're thinking that over, let me tell you a little about my project above.  I am delighted to be ending this year and starting next year as part of Growing in Unity!

Such fun, oui?

Be sure to stop in and comment on my posts each day this week to qualify for awesome winnings!
At the end of the week I'll pick a random winner from all the comments.  The fabulous lucky winner will receive two itty bitty stamps.

YAY for Unity Rubber!

Over the holidays while I was relaxing and enjoying some time with the family, I made a few knitted items.  The above I made for Caitlin, who requested a warm cozy chapeau to match the cowl I gave her for Christmas.

So, of course, I had to make a little care tag to go with it!  The tag features stamps from the Unity set, In this House.  I watercolored the stamped images, punched them out, and adhered them to the painted tag.  I used some crinkle ribbon, from the 3 Girl Jam Season's Bundle.  The back, not shown, includes the stamped sentiment from the set.

Okay, so that's that.  My first GIU post.  Now, tell me one of your special 2012 moments as a comment below!  And then, go make something awesome!  You've not much time remaining here in this year!
