You do amazing work! And quickly too – all of that in 6 months!
You’ve been so successful the past 7 months! If you’ve got any tips I’m anxious to hear them! It’s probably your wildly awesome projects. I adore all ten of these posts!
What fun to look back and see all you’ve accomplished! I love the happy colors you use in your home.

Great round up! I love mid-year look backs. It is great to see what you’ve accomplished midway through the year.
Thanks Shannah- I realized I hadn’t done any sort of round up at all since blogging, and that it had already been over half a year! It was time…
All your projects are fantastic Krista, it’s hard to choose a favorite, but I love your outdoor set up and back to school mantle the best!
Thanks Vel!! For all your kind comments and support:) Have a great week!

Thanks! I need to get on whipping up some autumn ones soon!!
Seven months–that’s it? Your blog is so professional and full of wonderful projects that I definitely thought you were blogging much longer than that! Can’t wait to see more.
Thank you Susa! WordPress makes it fairly user friendly to look much more professional then you really are:) lol! I look forward to what the future holds- totally appreciate your kind comments!!
I don’t know how you narrowed it down to 10– you have so many fabulous projects, and in just 7 months too! I can’t wait to see what the next 7 months will bring for The Happy Housie! Have a wonderful week!

Thanks Abby!! I have about a billion things in my mind for the next seven months – we will see what I actually manage to accomplish:) Thanks for your kind comments, friend!!
I always love what you do, Krista! Everything is so fresh and fun and you can put together a wall display like no other! XO
Awww thanks Christy! That is so sweet – your kind comments are truly appreciated friend:) The best part about this blogging journey has been connecting with awesome, kind, creative people (like you:)…
What a busy, great 7 months! Congrats on all the great projects.
Thanks Megan!
As always Krista, loving your blog! You are well established in blog-land – I see your crafts linked up everywhere! Well done – I can only hope to have a blog half as good as yours! 😀
Thank you Petra! It has been a busy but fun journey so far. I think that I am finally starting to settle into the groove… we will see what that looks like when school starts up again (today:)!!
What a wonderful, creative year Krista!! Thank you for always inspiring 🙂
