Hi everyone. Today I’ve got an extra big smile on my face and no, it’s not because Christmas is almost here. Today I’ve hit a little milestone in my blogging career and Armoire Pegs & Casserole is six months old!
When I think back to my first few posts, I really had no idea what a positive impact blogging would have on me in so many different ways. Through this blog I’ve met wonderful new friends and belong to a great community, I also get to research an incredible talent of people, artists and artisans out there doing what they love which continues to blow me away. It’s just the beginning, I look forward to discovering and sharing more of it along with exciting developments in 2013.
Thank you so much readers, all of your comments, facebook likes, sharing and simply clicking over here to have a little read has really meant a great deal and has given me so much encouragement.
I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and hope that you are surrounded by those that you love and whom love you back. I’m taking some time off with the family and I look forward to meeting you back here Monday 7th January! Peace, happiness and blessings to you all.

P.S. In the Christmas spirit, I answered some questions over at The Brothers Trimm about Christmas for me growing up and now with my own children, I hope that you pop over and have a read.






















Have a merry christmas Mel! Your blog is super and full of interesting content. Keep it up!!!
