Update to Pinterest success. It was actually a Pinterest fail.

The Before:
Son: "Why do the mustaches keep breaking?"

Me: “Because Pinterest only shows glossy pictures and not the aftermath.”

Son: “What’s an aftermath?”

Me: "Go to bed."



The Aftermath:

Major fail

Homemade Valentines completed. Brag.

First of all, Happy Valentine’s Day. Second of all, I rule. Why? Because I completed my first Pinterest project. And the finished product didn’t totally suck.

You can view the progress here.



And check out the finished products! Of course I realized at midnight last night that they would all fall apart if I just put them in my son’s backpack. So I (the hubby) stuck them in this flower holder thing that I happened to have. Pretty and functional, like you.
And now I’d like to show you what I’m going to attempt to do next week with the shells we collected in Costa Rica.


It’s going to look something like this. I hope. I know, this is such a freaking cliff hanger.

And of course you can check out all of my boards here.

Currently making Valentine’s Day cards for kids’ classmates while watching them do a taste test on playdough.

Eating playdough can’t be that bad, can it? I mean there’s really only so much I can multitask at once.

Anyhoo, the craft of the week is coming along. Here’s what I’ve done so far.
(1) Bought craft paper (duh)
(2) Drew lips on said craft paper
(3) Cut out lips


Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Of course I think you should know I have the artistic ability of a three-year-old.



And if you’re still searching for the ultimate V’day craft ideas, check these pins out.
S'mores. nom, nom. nom.



One of my friends just made these bookmarks and emailed me a pic. She's sort of a show off.

I’d like to interrupt this morning’s usual stalking to reintroduce you to my other blog – Pinterest Stalkers.

My pinterest blog has been redesigned. So now it’s not only functional, it’s pretty to look at. You know, like a cupcake. Or a cosmo. And I'm actually going to update it. For real.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, I’ve decided to feature projects of looooove this week. And since people are saying that Pinterest is useless unless you actually complete a project, I’m going to make these mustache/lip Valentines for all of the kids in my son’s class. And you’ll get to follow along.

Ohhh yeah (or maybe I should say Oy Vey), this is going to be good.

Feel free to check out all the projects I've pinned for Valentine's Day.

P.S. Pinterest is really catching on. You heard it here second here
P.P.S. This blog is still a work in progress. Feel free to comment on what you would like to see.
