Ideas and Inspiration- A Pinterest Addiction

Just like many of you, I am addicted to Pinterest. I was looking at my boards this morning and decided I needed to organize them better. While trying to streamline my pins, I was reminded of another (when does it end...)pin I ran across a couple of weeks ago.

I love the colors and the textures. I think this would make a great painting. Hopefully, I will follow through and actually paint this one day soon. :) If I do, I will let you know how it turns out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Pinterest Valentine's Day Ideas

My son and I made these Valentine's Day goodies for his class this year. I saw the idea on Pinterest and knew that this is what we would do for his party. I think they super cute and not girlie, which is very important to an 8 year old.

My friend, Kari, has a little one in my in son's grade, and she and I decided to go in together to order labels for their Valentines. Kari found the cutest shop called Paisley Pear Designs by Amy Pearson. You can also view her website at www.paisleypeardesigns.com. She offers invitations for every occasions, birth announcements and note cards. I just love how the Valentine's turned out and I don't think I will ever go back to the prepackaged kind again.

That is why I LOVE Pinterest!! There were so many great ideas for Valentine's Day that I created a new board for future reference and below you will find a few of my favorites.
