A Look Back At 2025

Hi friends,

The year always goes by so fast!! 😳 I love to take a look back and remember all the fun, creative things I’ve been able to share with you throughout the year. You can find a few of my favorites below. 🥰

I created 19 new crochet patterns in 2025. Below are a few of my favorites. 😊 All of my crochet patterns are free here on the blog and most of them have links to free PDFs as well. Click on each photo to go to the post for each project. If you type “crochet” in the search bar on the right, you’ll find lots of crochet inspiration from me as well as projects from other talented designers that I’ve made.

If you’ve followed CreatingMe for a minute, you know that I love making cards! I have a crazy amount of rubber stamps and other supplies so I have to put them to good use. 😉 Here is just a sampling of what I made in 2025. Click on each photo for all the details on each card. Type “card” in the search bar for lots more card making inspiration.

You’ll also find other crafty projects that I created this year. Again, click on each photo for all the details. 😊

I shared a few recipes, too. 😋

We found time to take a Gatlinburg Getaway in May and another short weekend there in October. The bear sighting was in October – so fun! And yes, we kept our distance!

My husband also went through radiation treatment for cancer this year. It went well and we have every reason to believe it was successful. We will find out for sure in January and it will be good to put that behind us.

2026 is sure to bring a lot of changes for us since my husband retired! We just got back from a 3 week celebration road trip around Florida ending with Christmas in New Orleans – I’ll share more about that soon.

I’m looking forward to creating lots of fun, beautiful, crafty projects to share with you in 2026! I hope you’ll take some time to be creative along with me this year.
