Our Top 13 Blog Posts of 2013

Happy New Year, 
Memory Bound friends!
We hope everyone had a safe and happy celebration to welcome the year 2014! A new year gives us the opportunity to reflect on the year which just ended. With that in mind, we thought it would be fun to put together a list of our 
TOP 13 BLOG POSTS of 2013! 

As I looked back over the past year, a few things came to mind: 

We've had a great year of fun and creativity at Memory Bound! WOW! 2013 was packed with classes, special events, and fantastic paper-crafting projects -- too many to mention! 

Based on the number of "page views", we can see that more and more customers are reading our blog for inspiration. Thank you so much for visiting! We love blog comments and look forward to reading more comments in 2014! 

Posts about upcoming classes are very popular -- so popular that I couldn't choose just one to share, so I did not include class posts on our Top 13 list. Keep visiting our blog in 2014 for detailed info about the great classes you'll find ONLY at Memory Bound!

So without further ado...and in no particular order...here are our TOP 13 BLOG POSTS of 2013! Or -- because it was impossible to choose -- at least some of our favorites! Click on the links provided to read them all!

Scrapbooking Garage Sale
And who doesn't love a scrapbooking garage sale? We look forward to these big events throughout the year so we can clear out the old to make room for the new! All of our garage sale posts were very popular this past year. This is a good reminder to get ready for our next garage sale, planned for April!
