This Just Pinned!

My top 5 pins for this week.

#1 - Changeable Mantel
This one is a Christmas theme using felt snowflakes from the DOLLAR STORE & double-sided tape. I aspire to be this kind of homemaker, changing things around for the seasons & then posting nauseatingly adorable pics on facebook & such so that others feel jealous inspired. pin

#2 - Game Day Dresses from T-Shirts

I'm gonna need to pilfer through the Mr.'s gargantuan Alabama t-shirt collection & go all Martha Stewart to whip up a fancy game day dress that is a bit more than what I've found. Too many are a plain crimson dress with a Bama "A" stuck on it so they can jack up the price to $60. Bonus: the Mr.'s shirts are all 100 years old & have been washed a zillion times so they are super soft! pin

#3 - Easy Nail Art with a Bath Poof!

This is SO CUTE! Maybe a lighter color for the base? Black is a bit goth for my taste. Maybe a dusty pale pink or a soft grey? Oh, and nix the ghetto fabulous rhinestone.

It reminds me of Sally Hansen polish strips in fishnet stockings but I'm not about to pay $10 for some stickers. Sheesh. pin

#4 - NO MORE STINKIN SANDWICHES!

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a nice Dagwood as much as the next gal but sometimes I just get to the point where I cannot ingest another freaking sammich!!! This link has hundreds of ideas that will keep me from eating 2 Cliff bars, dry cereal, half a thing of Tic Tacs & a stale Milky Way something else for lunch. pin

#5 - Metallic Paint to Transform Old Furniture

When the Mr. & I set up house (hopefully before I'm too old & decrepit to do any of this crap) I would love to transform our mismatched furniture into Pottery Barn-esque pieces such as this.pin

THIS JUST PINNED!

I HEART PINTEREST!
I feel a need to pin things that are delicious, beautiful, clever, funny or even the odd ones like how to turn a vintage wine barrel into a sink on the off-chance I'll own a farmhouse in Venice.

It could totally happen.

Don't judge me.

Some of my recent pins are:

Using a copier to mark exact nail or screw placement. Brilliant! pin


A new way to use crackle nail polish! pin


For that awesome backyard I'm going to have one day where everyone wants to hang out. pin


For that um...gathering I hope to have where I leave with a different last name. Ahem. pin


An easy taco ring that could be a fast dinner or a cute party platter.pin


Can I pull this off? Who knows...but I'm gonna try! pin


I hope to be the kind of Mom who thinks of things like this for my kiddos! pin

And one just for fun (cause it's SO TRUE!)

THIS JUST PINNED!

I have a new obsession: pinterest. It satisfies several of my quirks at once: crafty things, organizing into groups & planning for future projects.

This is what I've pinned today:

I love really great photography, especially if the subject is edible. To me, it's FOOD PORN! This pin is a quick reminder of set up and proof that you don't have to have a fancy DSLR (but I NEEEED one!) to take great photos.

One day I imagine myself all June Clever-esque with my happy little ones tugging on my apron strings. Whilst in my pearls I hoist them atop the counter to help me make magical things such as this edible chocolate play dough.

I love organization. Ok...my OCD loves organization, the rest of me is a pig. Anywho...this is brilliant & I already have a little sandwich bag full of these bread tags to label all of my cords like a pro. Sadly, I can't find said baggie BUT as soon as I do I'll be a bread tagging fool!

This looks delicious. I've made galettes with apples many times but never peaches. Only one minor change...I'd have to peel the peaches. Jenn doesn't eat fuzz. I'll save this one for later since I'm on a diet & have a fridge full of beautiful, colorful, doesn't-taste-like-a-Big-Mac-but-I-can-dream veggies to prove it. I'll file this one away in my FOOD PORN section. Don't judge me.

I FREAKING LOVE FALL! And this wreath is beautiful. It sells at Williams-Sonoma (swoon) for $100 and the tutorial says they made it for $25. I bet I could best them & crank one out for about $10. Suckers.
