Favorites from All That Scrap Jan-March

My blog spent most of the year on the back burner. In February my husband had both of his knees replaced and I took care of him through out his recovery. In June I had both my knees scoped, In September I had a partial tear in my right rotator cuff repaired as well as a Mumford repair and in November I had a Mumford repair in my left shoulder. It seemed that most of the year was spent recovering.  Each month only had a few posts so choosing was easier than past years.

My favorite from January is this card

You can see it here.

My favorite from February.

You can see it here.

From March this is my favorite.
