Do you Pinterest? (I just heard Rhonda say No) well I do. It is a great place to collect images, ideas and other things and sort them all the way you want to, for when you want to. If you need an invite let me know, I'll shoot one your way. I have gotten so many good "pins" on my 'pinboards' and I finally and getting around to sharing them! I have so many more pins to do, so I am sure this won't be my last Pinterest post. I wanted to show you the ones that I was inspired by for a side by side, but Pinterest won't let me save the pictures. Ergh. So just check my pin boards if you wanna see em.
(I know you saw these on the Bunco post already)
I got ideas for filling my glass apothecary jars and the "Keep Calm" printable from it. Actually the frame stays there and I have a rotating list of Keep Calm pictures that go in it. Right now it says 'Keep Calm and Snow On'.
The popsicle stick snowflakes were a little bit of an obsession once I started making them. The inspiration looked like the bottom far right, but was done with standard size sticks. I used variations of large sticks and patterned sticks. Below you can see they took over my staircase. I want more next year. And it was so cheap. I had everything on hand.
I made this little gem for Rhonda for Christmas. By the way, I am in LOVE with the Martha Stewart line of craft paint. It is more expensive but so worth it. I used the red, and it covered in one coat. I was hooked!
And these were the cutest gifts for my Mom and Mother-in-Law. I wanted to use various shades of green for the boys hands. And then I used a star stamp. You can't see it but around the edge I glued a glittery red rickrack. On my MIL's we added 'ornaments' in red using my niece's fingerprints. I love Boss's hands, too cute huh?
So THANK YOU PINTEREST for making my holidays a little cuter, and yummier too. My 'Wanna be Foodie' board has brought me some awesome new recipes! I already have another post with Valentine's crafts inspired by Pinterest so that will be coming soon!

Cute!!
I love it! And I'm super impressed you were able to do all that with a newborn!
No big surprise... I don't pintrist. (Sp? who cares) Honestly, I don't have time for another obsession. Besides, not crafty so I'd just be stuck looking at all these things I'll never do. Anywho, glad you do cause I can just have you make stuff for me. See how well that works out?!
I need you to make me some snowflakes!!
Ditto to what Rhonda said!!
I love them. I have had so much fun also with new ideas from pinterest!
