Best of 2015

Hello Friends.  Are you recuperating from your holiday celebrations yet or are you like me and still lounging around, watching movies and drinking coffee?  I love this week between Christmas and New Year's because I can do just that. No deadlines, no stress just lots of time with family. I always like to go through my posts from the past year at this time and see just what everyone liked and maybe didn't like so much.  So here are the Best of 2015 posts that you - the readers - loved. 

most popular diy and craft posts from 2015

Sometimes I am totally surprised by what has become the top ranking posts for the year. It may have been something I did on the spur of the moment or as a challenge that I planned for some time.  I never know what you are going to find inspiring to you.  So let's take a look and see if your favorite this year was also a favorite for others as well.

diy wreath made with book pages

This wreath amazes me at times.  I made it in 2012 for a total cost of less than $1 and it has stood the test of time.  It still gets repinned on a daily basis and has been shared all over blog land.  It has become a main focal point in our home and I never tire of it. 



diy pine cone wreath

This one comes as no surprise to me either as it has been featured in many on line magazines and websites since I made it in 2012.  It gets pinned year round and always becomes very popular in the Fall and Christmas seasons.

I love the variety of projects that you all have found to be your favorites.  Some of them were mine also.  Did you see your favorite o
n the list?  Were you surprised by any?  I love to hear from you so tell me about it in the comments below.

Until next time enjoy creating something you love and
     Have a Wonderful New Year.
