This has become a The Marshmallow Studio tradition. Every year, I put together these RECAPS posts that outline everything we did the prior year. They are nothing but pure happiness and fluffy goodness.

I’m sorry to say, this annual recap is a quite a bit different 🙁

2016 was a very difficult year for us. That’s personally speaking not for the company. It challenged us physically, emotionally and mentally. I took it especially hard.

This post is meant to not only celebrate a new beginning but to also hopefully help someone who may be passing through a dark place.

With a new itty bitty baby girl and our house up for sale, 2015 surely flew by before my eyes. I didn’t even notice it until today.

Here I am again, writing my traditional end-of-year RECAP.

I like to write these as a reflection exercise and to jot down what I need to improve on for next year.

Below you’ll find all the projects and events that we did in 2015.

Enjoy!

At the end of every year, I like to take time to look back and reflect on all that took place throughout the year. If you’ve been following me for while, you know that I do this with my personal life as well as with The Marshmallow Studio.

Every January I like to post a recap of our year to highlight the good and learn from the ugly…. So here is the recap for 2014!

This home is a dream come true for us!

And finally, the sweetest little blessing of this year is our little doll Kamilla!

Here we are on Thanksgiving Day. Our first photograph as a family of 5. I LOVE it!!

We always have so much fun with our Christmas cards. This year’s theme was sweets and gingerbread kids 🙂

Then this happened. 🙁 We got into a major car accident just a few days before Christmas. We were lucky to walk away with just burns and bruises.

This was a very scary reminder that every day is precious and we must cherish every moment, family and friends.

**********************************************

I am extremely grateful for everything 2014 gave us and I am thrilled to see what 2015 has in store for us.

Here’s to a fabulous 2015!!!

Cheers 🙂

At the end of every year, I like to take time to look back and reflect on what was  blessings and adventures occurred during that time. I do this with my personal life and with The Marshmallow Studio. You really learn a lot about your strengths, your weaknesses and it helps set new goals for the upcoming year. For me, doing annual recaps of each year on this blogs has helped me document the growth in my marshmallow skills, and my marketing abilities. Oh and to see the progress of my photography and Photoshop skills too which have a long way to go still haha.

Ummmmm…. where has the year gone? It feels like just yesterday I was here typing away my last post for 2011 and now I’m doing it for 2012. It seems every year time passes by faster and faster doesn’t it? Well, I always like to sum up what adventures each year brought for The Marshmallow Studio. It’s a fun way to reminisce and see much we’ve learned, grown and accomplished.

Below I’ll be sharing with you photos of our great moments, designs, and more. Click on image to go to post!
