Like many other I've become a Pinterest Addict!!! On some rainy afternoons this week it was a blessing.
"Mom what can I do??..." said mopey child looking out at the dreary weather " NO SWIMMING TODAY- SO BOARD!"
"Let's check out my Pinterest Boards and pick a few ideas to do" said the ingenuous Mother ( yep that's ME!)

We used paper not fabric, the effect is still stunning. I wish the white "V" showed up better in photo.

Pinterest hasn't really come to the rescue, but I am totally addicted to it. Great job on the crafts:)
ReplyDeleteTHAANKS...really need to start a P.A. group =]
DeleteI love pinterest and yes, it has came to the rescue a couple times for different things. I love the chocolate eggs the are just too cute. I just added buttons and fabric to my Walmart list because I have fallen in love with the LOVE pics.
ReplyDeleteLOVE pix are something I <3 too.

DeleteCute ideas! Pinterest helps me with finding things to bake and it helps my mom find projects to do with her kids at school!
ReplyDeletethere are some great recipes for BIG peeps parties too =]
DeleteI totally like your button project better than the original pin. I use pinterest all the time, love the inspiration!
ReplyDeletethe original pin has some VERY bold colors for sure--NOT for everyone, picking out your paper/fabric is half the fun =^D
DeleteCute idea. I made a motorcycle diaper cake from a Pinterest inspired photo. :) It turned out so cute and it was fairly easy to make.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like your kids enjoyed your Pinterest activities.

ReplyDeleteI thought they were cute too. Checking out pin's always gets my creative juices flowing.
DeleteLoved this post, great ideas and I loved how you showed the pinned and the result, I hate it when a project doesn't turn out as expected, but I have learned that MY RESULT is always better than the original, making it my personalized ORIGINAL! Lovely job! Going to try the bottle art!
ReplyDeleteoh I have tried too many things out in the past that don't turn out "RIGHT" but as you said it make it an original an NOTHING is better then that =*]
DeleteWow, this is sooo cool Love this post also! It is nice to see people really trying some of the projects from off pinterest.
ReplyDeletereally a great tool---SAVES time because I don't have to google ten different projects.
DeleteAll of these look great. I JUST left Pinterest a few seconds ago and literally had to tear.myself.away.
ReplyDeleteoh I know the feeling oh so well--I give my self a time limit when I go over there!! =D
DeleteHow fun! All your crafts turned out great, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks I've got some crafty kids =)

ReplyDeleteThat's just the beginning---100's more to go =]
DeleteOooh! Pretzel sticks and eggs! I'm not quite sure about that but of course your pallet always says something else!
ReplyDeletewell it is candy --I'm NOT sure real eggs would be as delish BUT someone might like that LOL
DeleteI love getting ideas for activities and meals on pinterest! Thanks for sharing these.

DeleteThose eggs on a grill are amazing.

DeleteYour bottle art turned out fabulous! How cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping pinterest will help me come up with ideas for decorating and painting a new home one day. I really like that you showed your project finished because my stuff would never turn out the same way as pinterest pics. lol
