The Craziest Things of 2014
While looking for a photo of an ear of corn, I know, random, don’t ask, I realized that I did some extra crazy things last year, that might just need a second look~ so my year in review is a collection of Crazy
Sometimes getting a little crazy and loosening up is just what we need to relax and break the stress that life deals out on a daily basis. I was commissioned by local hair salon to do this crazy painting
A cold front came in with a thunderstorm and I was complaining to a friend about our house getting hit by lightning, on day 2 of this not so lucky New Year. Lightning blew up our sprinkler system…which we knew because the same thing happened 3 years ago to the tune of $2500…who says lightening never strikes twice…
My friend said simply, “Well, maybe you should just get off your a… get out there and water your own grass!”
that was a cold water wake-up! I was being a drama queen~
In other words, keep it simple and keep things in perspective…good advice… 😳
Year in review, the Craziest Things of 2014
In January I got my jewelry organized with knobs on a painted closet wall, see Necklace Wall Organizer here
In February I put a pink feather boa on my mantel for Valentine’s Day
and dined on Pear and Gorgonzola Quiche
And caught Mardi Gras fever!
March was all about Chalkboard Recipe fun
April meant gardening and painted Garden Stakes
The Beach House Addition was finally finished and our crazy powder room was revealed
In May I made an easy Daisy Dip
and painted a Beachy Bench
and made some Painted Flatware
June kicked off with some Hot Pink Fun in the Summertime
and we enjoyed Summer Salad with Magic Blueberry Dressing
The heat of July was cooled with Chilled Peach Soup with Raspberry Cream
and we indulged in Maple Bacon Wrapped Onion Rings
and I got real crazy painting waves in Make Cleaning Fun here
August was full of Savory Apple Pie Quesadillas
In September I made a Haunted Halloween Mansion to gear up for Halloween
and made a popcorn beer for Octoberfest Beer Garden
In October I discovered a Witch at the Door
and No Guilt Microwave Potato Chips
November was full of trees like this Party Favor Tree
and the Sweet Home Alabama Tree
December turned out to be plenty of fun with some painted pumpkins and a pumpkin snowman in a Holiday Pumpkin Patch
and the kiddos counted down to Christmas with a giant Advent Calendar Tree
Yep, it was a crazy year, but you know what? Having a little crazy, keeps things sane!
Thanks for reminiscing with me today!
My favorite post of 2014 was Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you’ll pop over and take a peek here

Love your crazy look back Jenna and your gift and fearlessness with the paint brush! Maybe if I painted my washer I’d enjoy the chore of laundry more 🙂 I regretfully never mastered chalk pen art, I ended up pushing them to the back of the drawer of my chest in my potting shed using old fashioned chalk instead but I so admire your artful penmanship and colorful fonts when you chalk it up!
Thanks so much Mary, but I promise chalk pens are so much easier than regular chalk, and you have made so many fabulous chalk messages for your potting shed, you really should dig your pens out and play 🙂
Okay so that painting totally looks like Ann Margaret. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! What a great look back at your crazy year. You’re so creative and talented, it’s mind blowing!
Wow, thanks Lorraine, so appreciated! She does look like Ann Margaret doesn’t she! Have a great week, hopefully we will start warming up!
Thank you. You are so talented! Have a great weekend!
Thanks so much for your visits Liz!
Everything you do is fun, but my most favorite thing here is the painting!
I had a feeling you would relate to that painting Ellen! It’s hanging in the shampoo room at 26 Dexter Salon in Crestline~
Pat your self on the back for all the creative things you have done this year. Loved your recap.You stay busy busy all the time.
I am sitting my a cozy fire with my feet propped up in the recliner thinking I should get up and get busy with projects or grab my camera and get busy photographing something I actually did. Oh, well maybe tomorrow.I am busy resting and visiting my friends.
That pear and gorgonzola quiche is calling my name. Pinning for another day.
Thanks sweet Bonnie, if it makes you feel any better, I’ve been lounging in my chair by the fire watching football and tennis all day while my son is cooking dinner 🙂 Visiting friends is always a good idea!
Thank for the review, Jenna. You did have fabulous posts in 2014! I know 2015 will be even better. My favorite painting is the one you did for the salon. I love how you did the hair! Great posts all year. 🙂
