Year-End Recap: Blog Hop Highlights and Giveaway Inside

2013 is almost over, and I’m excited to start fresh in just a few days. It’s time for the annual End of Year Recap, and this year I’ve teamed up with some blog friends so you can hop around and see their top posts too. As a small thank you for following Thirty Handmade Days this year, I’m offering a giveaway—details are below.

(Below is an animated GIF and will repeat. If you’re viewing this in a reader or email, click through to see it.)

Here are the top posts from the year:

10. Random Acts of Kindness Summer List
9. Holiday Mini Binders
8. Post It Note Grids
7. Dirty Diet Coke Kit
6. Frozen Peppermint Pie (3 ingredients)
5. Chicken Tortilla Bake
4. Accountability Binder
3. School Binder
2. Printables Page (all my printables collected in one place)
1. Make a Family Binder

It’s always fun to see which posts resonated most with you. Printables clearly won out this year—especially binder projects. I have a few more binder ideas lined up and will share them here as I complete them.

I’m also grateful to the wonderful contributors who shared content throughout 2013. Big thanks to Brittany, Leigh Anne, Salty Bison, and Allie for their monthly contributions. You can find their top-viewed posts below and visit their sites for more great ideas:
