Let’s all say it together shall we? FASTEST YEAR EVER! Seriously, folks, is it just us or did this year literally fly by?
Anyone else find themselves on Christmas Eve having that panicky moment where you look around and think to yourself, “wait, is it actually Christmas Eve right now? Wasn’t it just Easter?” 😉 You’ve been shopping and decorating and baking and wrapping all season long and yet somehow you feel totally perplexed as to how you actually got to this point in the year.
Please tell us we aren’t the only ones! 😉
So, we thought maybe we would take a look back through a year’s worth of blog posts in an effort to help us feel like this year really DID happen and we really DID get things done because right now we feel as though we have been turned into a big ball of post-Christmas mush and we can’t recall what actually occurred over the past 365 days.
Apparently there were some crafts and home decor projects…
Blue and White Home Decor Ideas
And supposedly there were some yummy recipes…
Nutella Hand Pies for Valentine’s Day
We know for a fact which was our most important makeover this year…
 We also know that we shared with you from our hearts…
 We have no doubt that this next year will go just as quickly. There will be successes and failures, good days and bad ones. There will be all of the highs and lows that make each year a crazy roller coaster in which we find ourselves strapped in and holding on for dear life.
This fresh new year is filled with possibilities…with opportunities and endless choices.
Some will be small and simple and others will be life changing.
Over this fresh new year hangs a giant question mark. It can be so overwhelming to stare down the barrel at the next 365 days and know that while there are things we know are coming, there are so many other things that we aren’t prepared for.
But, the one thing we do know is that we have a God who knows what is coming in the next 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,765 hours and 525,949 minutes.
And we trust Him with every last one of the 31, 536,000 seconds in that year.
We hope you know how very much you all mean to us. Our lives change and shift and we don’t know exactly what you will see each week here At the Picket Fence in 2015. There will always be plenty of ideas for your home, but our deepest desire is to provide inspiration for your hearts. You see, when we look back at this past year, we count YOU among greatest blessings. And we want to get to know you better. We want you to share your lives with us as we share ours with you.
So, buckle up friends. We’re all on this roller coaster ride together and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Happy New Year!

You girls had an awesome year filled with fabulous projects and inspiring posts…looking forward to seeing what you have planned for 2015!! Wishing you both all the best in 2015!!
I’ve so enjoyed your blog and I only found it a couple of months ago . . . so I can’t wait to see what you share with us in 2015 😉
It has been a time warp for me. One day I was having my tree put up and now…well…I feel like Christmas was two weeks ago. I will maintain for the twelve days though. Probably longer if I’m truthful since one of my biggest fans hasn’t seen my tree yet.
The year has gone very quickly for me. Thank you both for posting and sharing your lives with us readers. You have encouraged and inspired me this past year. God’s blessings to you both in the coming 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,765 hours and 525,949 minutes and 31,536,000 seconds!
Happy New Year guys!
Happy New Year gals!
