  • How in the WORLD did I miss the rag rug tutorials? So coolio. And HOMEMADE ENGLISH MUFFINS? I’m. In. Heaven. Thanks again for another fab round up post: it’s like reruns of your favorite TV show. You think you’ve seen them all, and then BAM! A surprise episode you’ve never seen. Thanks!

  • Happy New Year to you all…thank you, thank you, thank you for all the inspiration….here’s to an even better, brighter, more creative 2015 for you (and for me and for all your readers!!!!) xxx

  • The kitchen renovation is so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing so many wonderful posts and inspiring DIY projects this year! Happy New Year, ABM! 🙂

  • Love all of these!! I will always keep the plant box toy in mind for when I have kids of my own. Question – how do you track social shares and popularity on different media?

  • These are all so great. Like Cat said, it’s a reminder of all the DIY’s I’ve been meaning to do. 🙂 Cheers!

  • I’m obsessed with all of these posts; I can’t wait for another year of ABM! This site and the projects greatly inspire me and I’m excited to see what sorts of posts you have planned for 2015.

  • Hi Elsie and Emma. I have to say that I am a new reader to your blog and I instantly love it. I follow other blogs on bloglovin, but yours I make the effort to type it up http://www.abeautifulmess.com and read your new blogs straight from your website. I am a lazy cooker but I have to say your pizza recipe and truffles recipe attracted me instantly as they seemed so easy to make and in fact they really were. Other DIY projects and arts projects I’ve been saving to do them very soon. I know you are somewhat down or depressed about blogging (you’ve mentioned that in your request to fill in the survey); but honestly you should continue. I think your blog is very interesting and it is your driving force to your products. Because of your blog I purchased the planner and subscribed to happymail (still waiting very anxiously to receive them-I’ve been waiting for a month now- I hope to receive them SOON). Anyway, I wish you more and more success. Happy New year to both of you and to the ABM team!! Keep doing what you do in 2015 and best of luck xoxo

  • Such a good collection!!!! You know what was my favourite Christmas gift? One of your books for photography ideas. Love you’re photos and love your DIY ideas
    wish you a great 2015 ahead 🙂
