NOW HOW DID SHE KNOW?

OOPS!  I have been caught.  I don't know how the person who created this knew me so well.

I CAN'T HELP MYSELF

Pinterest went and did it to me again.  I mean seriously, how can I ever keep up with all the adorable and fantastic ideas? 

Here is a set of blocks inspired by something I saw on Pinterest.

PINTEREST INSPIRATION

Man I LOVE Pinterest. 

There are so many fabulous ideas floating around it makes a crafter go NUTS!

I have always loved this saying, I even installed it directly on the wall of my friend Jane's house.  Go here to see how hers looks.

Here is the inspiration piece I got off of Pinterest via Etsy on Sweet Designs Boutique.

Here is my version.

My project consists of an old calendar holder, you know the ones everyone had a few years ago to hold all those adorable calendars?  Well if you check at Goodwill they have those in all the time.  The only thing I did was lightly sanded it and spray painted it black.  I then glued down some pretty scrapbook paper and then applied vinyl lettering on top of it.

Oh Pinterest, what did I do before discovering you?

For more Pinterest inspiration there is a linky party going on over at 5 Minutes for Me.

THIS WEEKS PINTEREST PICKS

This is what caught my attention on Pinterest this week.

Love this idea for an old shutter.  Wouldn't it be perfect for the bathroom?  Or maybe in the bedroom? You can find a great tutorial on how to make this on

My Repurposed Life.

This is a must for me to make for Thanksgiving. 

Recipe is found here.

Love, Love, Love this pillow idea.

Tutorial found The Gunny Sack blog.

Now all I need is to set aside some time to make these.  I really need to budget my Pinterest looking time.
