    Kari there were so many things this last 12 months that were fabulous... I loved all the inspiration..not only from your daily life and projects, but from our guests as well.. they taught us interesting techniques as well as tips and hints. I think my favorite thing was meeting women with like interests..and making new friends. I enjoyed the variety of a different color each month... everyone had awesome photos to share for that.. and my favorite was the Halloween swap.. not only for my own swap, but seeing what everyone else created. Thanks so much Kari and all the guests who shared with us... it was a very colorful year indeed!

    I liked having a theme color for each month that I did a page in my art journal for each month.
    Thanks!

    although I haven't been as creative this year as I'd hoped, this blog has certainly provided mounds of inspiration for me! it has motivated me to do more than I have in the past and it has paved the way for me to do even more in the future.

    Kari, I have really enjoyed everything about the Year of Color. The monthly theme colors, the guest designers and all of the wonderful ideas and tutorials. I have made several things, including the Shabby Polka Dot Blossoms and the Embellished Photo cards, among others. I have also enjoyed seeing the photos that people upload to the Flickr site. I also enjoy the art journaling ideas.
    Thank you so much for the super blog!

    I loved celebrating a different color or theme each month and found myself creating in colors that I would never have used otherwise. I loved being introduced to so many creative artists and their blogs. I have actually made many of the projects this year and really enjoyed them, and I was thrilled to present some of my own projects on the blog. I was not so interested in the art journal stuff. Thanks for the super job that you have done this year - I am sad to see it ending but I know we will all go on to create joy in the coming year. thanks for the chance to win the book and coasters - I would love them

    There have so many wonderful things all year long! I think that I liked the Sweet and Sinister swap the best!! I had so much fun putting everything together - but then again the collage swap was pretty cool - AND I really liked the wreath swap - guess the swaps are my faves!!

    I love the color theme and found ways to use some colors I don't normally "go for" after seeing them used here. I think I used A Year in Color the most to jump start myself. When I needed a new project or to motivate myself to try something outside my comfort zone I would scroll through the pages here and get the jump start I needed. Thanks for a great year.

    I've loved the beautiful photographs and the colours-it's like unwrapping a gift of rainbows each time I visit. I've come away with a desire to constantly improve the quality of my photos for my own blog. Thank you Kari and all the other quest designers!
