2015 has been an amazing and busy year! It’s time to look at the year in review and look back at all the projects I finished and discover which ones were reader favorites, according to the number of page views recorded in Google Analytics.
I’ve broken it up into these categories:
- Top 5 Most Viewed Projects from 2015
- Top 10 Most Viewed posts (including posts from the archives)
- Projects by Month (Including my own personal favorite projects – they have ** asterisks in front of them)
How to Image Transfer on Glass
And the #1 project that totally surprised me was my project and review of Valspar Chalky Paint. I really think it was my review that drew in the page views, more than the projects I made using the paint.
It received lots of comments, and was shared a lot on social media and pinned a lot on Pinterest. I hope to do more new product reviews in 2016.

Now, here are my top blog posts of 2015. Some of these are old blog posts that continue to get so many page views every single day.
Coming in at #5 is a post that Hometalk asked me to write about repurposed book page projects on their website .
Our shed-turned-guest room from 2014 comes in as the #4 post this year.
The #3 most viewed post is actually a huge gallery the Farmhouse Friday series I started in 2015.
There are currently more than 20 Farmhouse Friday themes with hundreds of decor ideas, DIY projects and farmhouse style rooms for inspiration.

Even though my #2 post is specifically a Christmas post, it’s consistently on of my most viewed posts for the last several years, in part because I’m always adding more printable pages to it, so the collection keeps growing.
For the 3rd year in a row, this blog post has remained the #1 most viewed blog post, which goes to show that farmhouse style continues to be well-loved.
Here are my favorite blog posts and projects for each month of the year.

Hi Angie,
I just discovered your site while searching for vintage sheet music. I am interested in using some of your images as backdrop, in the lines of mixed media work, for polymer clay relief sculpture. At some point in the future, I hope to be able to sell the artwork. I wanted to email you for permission but the email link brings me to Outlook which I do not use. Please email me in return – and thank you! Wonderful site 🙂 .
