best of "oh five" list

i love looking back at highlights of the past year; my accomplishments and others; and thought it would be fun to look back at my first year of blogging and pick out the highlights i have come upon while exploring this online world. the fun stuff, posts, favorite crafts, cards, illustrations, anything design and art related (not only visual).

so here they are (a bit of a long list ; but all worth mentioning). what fun this was to collect and so inspirational all of these: so without further a due... poppy's best of '05.
