Merry Christmas! I hope you’re enjoying your time with family since that is exactly what I’m doing too! Every year I like to take a look back and take inventory of the content that I’ve put out on the blog. So, for my Christmas present to you I put together my 5 favorite posts of 2017 and a few other year end announcements. One big event this year for The Craftsman Blog was my trip to the Haven Conference in Atlanta this July to meet other DIY bloggers. I was so inspired! And the biggest take away for me was that y’all wanted more video content. So after that trip I committed to doing at least 2 new videos a month on YouTube and that’s exactly what I have done! If you haven’t subscribed to my channel on YouTube you can do so by clicking here. I put new videos out every other Sunday morning for you weekend warriors. I hope you’ll join me there! Next year has some more exciting events coming like the launch of my first podcast! It will focus on the same great DIY preservation content that is here on the blog, but you’ll be able to take us along in the car or gym. We don’t have a launch date for that yet, but it will be announced in the early spring. Finally, I want to leave you with a few of my favorite posts from 2017. Some were big hits and others were just my favorites. I hope you enjoy the posts below as much as I did and that you have a phenomenal 2018!
