Projects Completed in 2009 - just for the record!

About a year ago, at the beginning of 2009, I joined the One Project a Month Challenge organized by Kris and May Britt over in Norway. It was a great way to keep myself focused on actually finishing projects, instead of just starting them and moving on to other new projects. I kept a tally of my finishes on my sidebar which you may have noticed throughout the year. Looking back on it, I am quite surprised at how many projects I completed in one year.

Well now it is time to do some new year's cleaning so I think I am going to remove the list from my sidebar. I wanted to preserve it somehow, so I decided to copy it here and link all the projects to the articles I wrote about them. Most of them should have links, but there are a few that I did not write about. Perhaps I'll add those to my list of things to write about in the future.

Would you like to join me on a little peek into my last year of creativity? Here we go...
