Pinterested?

So all my blog friends you lit my fire and I finally gave in and checked out Pinterest. I knew going into it that it was going to be a time sucker so silly little me set "rules". Yes, I have a set of Pinterest rules, feel free to use them or change them to make them work for you. Tee-Hee!

Rule #1: Only look until the page ends (still a lot of looking)
Rule #2: I must get at least one idea that I plan to carry out and actually do every time I look.
Rule #3: I am only aloud to have three ideas waiting to be done at a time. If I have more than three I can't look again until I get one or two or three done.

I have been a very good rule follower and I will now share with you some of my Pinterest masterpieces.

Sexy Curls

All Thanks To A Sock

 Simply amazing. All I did was cut the toe of one on MY LB's socks, roll it up like a donut, put my hair in a pony tail, spritz the pony tail with water to get it damp, roll up the pony tail in the sock, pin it and go to sleep. Next morning much to my surprise I "really" had curls. Crazy right?

More Sexy Hair

Crazy up do (I will never tell how many bobby pins I used)

Watch out, right?

You just do this and then that and more of this and VIOLA.

I also got a bit crafty....

Stuffed Owls

Now My monkey is no longer lonely.

He just has to wait and play at night now.

Yeah, I made my own pattern from looking at some pictures. Used my sewing machine and a glue gun.

Picture Collage

I have been wanting to put up pictures of my kiddos from when they were young little bucks. This offered me the perfect opportunity and it is so fantastically cute.

I promise next time I will do better to post links, I just forgot to save them and now I don't feel like finding them. Sorry! I will just tell you the hardest part of this project is picture placement (there is definitely some math involved).

There you have it! I am following the rules, getting fun things done, trying new things with my hair and laughing a lot. Thanks to all of my friends that go me "pinterested".

The three things I have on my plans.... An owl purse, another up do and a some photo shoot pictures to take of my little cowgirls.

Crafty? What's that?

It has been so long since I have done anything crafty, at all. Home school keeps me pretty busy, good busy. I was using it as an excuse to let go of something that I love, creating! My recent decision to be where my feet are have lead me to the conclusion that this is it, this is the time I have, this is the brain capacity I will have left at the end of every day, these are the creative tools I have available.... my piggies need "to do" with what they have been given.

For the past month I have been decorating our rental. It is quite a bit smaller than our home we sold and it has been a pretty big adjustment; some selling of furniture, combining of rooms and putting some furniture together that under other circumstances I would not put in the same room. Everything just kind of landed. Between that and white, white walls I have had to get very creative. It has been fun and I can't wait to share some pictures of the new place, just not today.

Today I want to show you my worlds cutest Christmas tree ornaments that I crocheted so my tree would match my new decor. Extreme? Of course, that is how I know that I am back in the game. My tree matches my home and my home matches my personality. Very colorful!

SHE'S CRAFTY!!!

AGAIN!!

FAMILY OUT OF BALANCE

I took ALL of our wonderful family pictures and made a collage. This has always been a very intimidating thing for me to break free from my comfort zone of BALANCE. I have always loved the look of framed photo collages I just always thought I could never pull it off. But I did it, I took 11 framed photos (notice the odd number) and I put them randomly together to make a collage. I hope you like it (I do).


I love looking at these pictures every day! I really tried to capture the true character and all of the personalities of the people that make up our family . I think we are a lot like my picture collage, sure being balanced seems neater and looks nicer but its just not as much FUN. Having 3 girls and 3 boys is the only thing balanced about this family and that just the way we like it.
