It’s Pinterest Wednesday! I don’t have a particular theme today, just showing you what I’m loving right at this moment!!

DIY Vintage Votive Candles,

all the recipes on Pinterest kill me… I’m trying so hard to lose the baby weight, and then I drool over photos! …like these German Chocolate Brownies, yummy!!

this is SO cute… you just take a large styrofoam ball, and stick it full of lollipops! I think I’ve shown something like this before, and wanted to make it with tootsie pops, but I couldn’t find them anywhere… I finally found them at the Dollarama though!! A whole bunch for a buck! Score!

I normally LOVE everything Donna from Funky Junk Interiors pins on Pinterest, but this… hmmm. this might be taking upcycling one step too far! What do you think??

I do however LOVE, LOVE her wooden gate screens…

Okay, I’m putting this picture on, because the caption under it says “you-tube date night”. Really?? Hubby and I have spent several evenings in front of you-tube videos, and I have never thought of it as a date night!!

A sign I will never make for my children:

I don’t think I’ve ever really noticed this verse before, from Proverbs 4:23… but it’s so true, isn’t it?!

awwww! An owl cupcake!!! I would never have the patience to pull this off – that cupcake would have been eaten way before the decorating got started!

I want this hair. Apparently there is a tutorial on the source of this picture, I haven’t checked it out yet, but that’s why I’m filing it here, so I don’t forget to check it out!!

And to end it off, a little something my hubby could use for his love of plants – a repurposed china cabinet!

Pinterest Wednesday!

Posted by Leanne on June 6, 2012 3 comments

I’ve been told about a vendor opportunity in Clayburn Village in one month, and I am entertaining the idea of participating…. I’m just not sure how much I can pull off in one month, when in the meantime we will be doing renovations (a bathroom overhaul, and hopefully some new countertops for the kitchen!), a week of camping, and hubby will be away for a weekend for a guys weekend away. (I can’t even remember the last time I had a girl’s weekend away, but anyways, that’s besides the point!)

So, for Pinterest Wednesday this week, I am showing you pins from my board, Things I Want To Make!

Wine Crate Storage! Do you love this as much as I do?? This blogger says she picks up free crates from her local wine stores – All you have to do is ask! – she says… talk about getting out of my comfort zone! But I may have to push myself! What do you think, is it worth it??

Easy peasy, I plan to do this one for sure!! I’ve actually had it in my plans for some time to make this for our office, hubby needs a visual way to keep receipts and shopping lists organized, and this would be perfect for him!

Which measuring board do you like best – number 1?

or number 2?

I think I’m personally leaning towards number 2, but I’d love to know what you think!

I might think about doing a few things with mason jars…

I love this welcome sign… simple and cute!

I love, love this tray made from a cupboard door! I may have to hit up our local Restore and find a few strays!

Well, I think that’s enough inspiration for now… I don’t want to overwhelm myself!! If you could pick a top project for me to make, what would it be??

Thanks for reading!! I’d love to see you on Pinterest, and on Facebook!!

Yay! I love Pinterest Wednesday (can you tell?!), and today’s topic is FOOD. Healthy food though, friends, because I’m still trying to lose those baby pounds!!
I’m starting with this one, because I made it for lunch yesterday, and plan to make it again today!! It was very yummy. Not as yummy as a real Pina Colada of course, but enough to enjoy on a nice sunny day!

Veggies In Disguise Muffins! I love recipes like this, and this one looks super yummy. I still don’t think it would trick my kids, but I would eat them up!

Have I shown you this one before?! I wouldn’t call it healthy, but it does have apples, so we can pretend, right?? Trust me, it is delicious, and a true crowd pleaser! (still, my kids wouldn’t eat it.)

oooh, I just saw this one!! the comment on this Cookies and Cream Shake says it is 4 points with Weight Watchers… I might have to try this one next!!

Big question for you: Is Nutella healthy, or not healthy? Did you hear they were just taken to court recently for advertising themselves as being healthy? I feed it to my kids every morning….
Here’s some Nutella popsicles for you!!

And this just looks so refreshing and summer-y! I will be giving this a try!!

Have a fabulous Wednesday!!

Pinterest Wednesday!!

Keep Calm…

I made a Keep Calm sign, but I’m going to share that with you another day. I loved it sooo much, and it sold immediately, and I miss it!! I will have to make myself one! But today’s post is dedicated to one of my best friends… I spent the day with her yesterday, attempting to help her repaint and spray paint some of her furniture for staging her home (this woman has 3 kids ages 3 and under, and her and her hubby are cleaning up their place and listing it for sale. She is my current hero!!) But FYI, spray painting in the breeze doesn’t work. A waste of paint!!

You have probably also seen many of these Keep Calm signs, but one lovely pinterest friend of mine just pinned these ones, and I had fun checking them out… so I hope you have fun too!!
