Happy New Year! I’m teaming up with kids activities bloggers from all over the world to bring you….
2012 was a fun first year for Coffee Cups and Crayons! I’ve had so much fun sharing, participating, connecting, learning, growing, and giving and cannot wait to keep going in 2013.
My birthday party posts were far and away my most popular posts of 2012. Our family loves to celebrate and I love that you find our ideas useful!
But, for my best post of 2012 I’ve chosen to share the very best Coffee Cups and Crayons post you’ve probably never seen:
Make Your Own Heart Window Clings!
This was my very first post and it is my personal favorite from the year. The window clings were featured by Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas on The Sunday Showcase and got so many wonderful comments from some of my most favorite bloggers, I could not have asked for a more fun and welcoming entrance into the world of blogging. This post will always hold a special place in my heart.

Oh Jackie! You have just made my day! I have been thinking about you and your family and hope things are going well. You will get a laugh out of the fact that we are still working on challenge #1 from the Little Book Adventure this week!!! It’s only taken a year!
Amazing that you started off your blog with such a bang! Seems like it’s taken off since then, too. The hearts are really cool.
Thanks so much Rachel! It’s definitely a favorite at our house!
