Top 10 Projects from 2010

by

Shellie, the owner of Craft Gossip, was kind enough to let me start the Home & Garden channel on July 19th of 2010. Since then I have featured hundreds of cool projects from all over blogland and from various other websites. Something I have learned is that you guys like the round up posts the most. In fact, I went through and took a look at the traffic since the Home & Garden channel debuted and pulled up the top 10 most visited posts. All except for one item in the top ten were round ups! So there’s no doubt that I will continue to put together fun round ups to share as 2011 comes around.

I did want to take a moment to thank you all for coming to Craft Gossip, for subscribing to the newsletter, and for taking the time to leave a comment. The Home & Garden channel is still in the growth stages and still under preliminary review. So if you do enjoy what I share then please let me know in the comments so that I can share those with the big wigs here at CG. 🙂

Umm, and one last thing… I am absolutely floored and honored that one of my own projects made it into the top ten here! I truly had NO idea until I got to #9 while putting this list together. Thank you so much for making my epsom salt luminaries one of your favorites, I am absolutely honored. 🙂 🙂

Without further delay here is the Top 10 Countdown for 2010:

#10 – 10 Pretty Pendant Lights

#9 – Epsom Salt Luminaries

#8 – Etsy Stalking: Peppermint Pretties

#7 – 4 Fun Mod Podge Projects

#6 – 25 Christmas Tree Crafts

#5 – 9 Advent Calendar Ideas

#4 – 9 Christmas Tree Crafts

#3 – 9 Fall Wreath Ideas

#2 – 15 Wreaths to Decorate Your Home

And the #1 most visited post for 2010 was…

Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2025: My Top Amazon Picks She’ll Actually Love

Alright, let’s be real—Mother’s Day sneaks up on us every single year. Suddenly, it’s May, and you’re scrambling to find something that says, “Hey, Mom, you’re amazing,” without resorting to last-minute drugstore flowers (though no shame if that’s your move—moms love flowers).

Luckily, Amazon’s got a killer Mother’s Day gift roundup (check it out here), and I’ve combed through it to find the best of the best. Whether your mom’s a spa queen, a tech guru, or the sentimental type, these picks will make her feel extra loved.

1. For the Mom Who Deserves a Spa Day

Luxury Robe & Slipper Set â€“ Because every mom deserves to lounge like royalty. Pair it with a lavender-scented candle or a jade roller set for ultimate relaxation vibes.

2. For the Sentimental Queen

Custom Photo Jewelry or Engraved Keepsake â€“ Necklaces with kids’ birthstones, engraved bracelets, or even a digital photo frame pre-loaded with family pics? Instant tears (the happy kind).

3. For the Tech-Savvy Mom

Kindle Paperwhite â€“ If she’s a bookworm, this is a game-changer. No glare, waterproof, and holds thousands of books. Bonus: Get her a Kindle Unlimited subscription for endless reading.

4. For the Chef Extraordinaire

Instant Pot Duo Crisp â€“ Because air frying + pressure cooking = mealtime magic. Throw in a fancy olive oil set or personalized cutting board for extra brownie points.

5. For the Always-On-the-Go Mom

Yeti Rambler Tumbler â€“ Keeps drinks hot or cold for hours, and it’s basically indestructible. Pair it with a stylish tote bag or insulated lunchbox for the win.

6. For the Green Thumb

Indoor Herb Garden Kit â€“ Fresh basil at her fingertips? Yes, please. Or go big with a smart garden system that does the work for her.

7. For the Mom Who Has Everything

Subscription Box â€“ Wine, books, skincare—there’s a box for every interest. It’s the gift that keeps giving (and reminds her of you all year).

Final Tip: Don’t Forget the Card!

Even if you go all out, a handwritten note is what she’ll really treasure. (Pro tip: Amazon has cute personalized cards too.)
