Are you participating in the Top 5 lists this year? If you are, please introduce yourself and share a link below! Take some time to click through the other links too – I’ve made new friends every year through this series! The Top 5 Hits and Misses in particular are a great way to get to know each other.
I’ve enjoyed seeing Top 5 posts pop up around the blogosphere this week – I hope you have too! I really enjoy the nosy peek into what projects worked or didn’t work for people in the long run. It’s always a surprise!
P.S. Here’s my intro post again, explaining the 5 Top list topics… or have a look through the participants from last year’s Top 5, and find some new friends or old favourites there!
Crafting A Rainbow 
Hi! I’m Rox and I blog at Brand New Old Fashioned, where you can find my top 5 highlights for the year. http://www.roxthinks.blogspot.ca/2014/12/looking-back-at-2014-highlights.html More precisely, I wrote about things I learned this year: organization, personal style, TNT patterns, letting go of tight deadlines and salvaging projects gone awry.
Can’t wait to read other blogger’s top 5, especially the hits and misses!
