Sharing posts from 2015 year in review

I began blogging in March 2015. For New Year’s, I thought it would be fun to reflect on how far I’ve come with Casa Bouquet and share 2015 year in review. I’m sharing some of the top posts for 2015. This has been a lot of hard work, but I am so happy and grateful for my readers and the community of bloggers.
