Project Pinterest: EAT

I'm obsessed with all things Pinterest and as we get our kitchen reno underway, one of my big focuses is going to be some sort of organization, mail, schedule station.  With Baby #2 only months away I feel like we really need it to keep our family on schedule with our crazy life.

Last weekend while enjoying some girly time with my sisters, cousin and Mom while drinking my sparkling juice from a wine glass, I created my first piece.

What a better time to link up with my one of my favorite bloggers, Ashley over at I Love You More than Carrots for her Project Pinterest Link-Up.

Here was my inspiration:

Here is my project, in three phases:

Cardboard Letters (purchased from JoAnn's)

Turned Black

Turned Metal-ish - Final Product!

I love the metallic look that it created and it was very easy.  The color was created exactly has the pin indicated (love when that happens).

Eventually I will have something like this, but a slightly modified version.

Happy Pinning!

Gets Your Craft On Yo

I love to craft and I freakin' love Pinterest.  Not that this is new information to any of you that follow me on the regular or know me in "real" life, but me and my glue gun are becoming fast besties (can you believe I just bought one for the first time about a month ago?  Me either.).

The ideas are amazing.  Like a). the recipe I have found for Christmas brunch that is to mimic one of my all time favorites (will post recipe after I actually make it and taste it), b). making things for people that are getting married in the near future, aka my wonderful assistant Myrrah, c). finding fun ideas for Mia's big girl room and d). finding inspiration for my "get your crap off the island"/organization station for my kitchen.

Here's my latest craft project, Myrrah's Christmas gift.

I love how it turned out.  It was so easy and it cost me all of $22.  Thank you Michaels and your sales and your handy dandy coupons.

And most importantly, she loved it! Like giddy, I'm young and getting ready to get married and am so excited to see my new last name in a frame giddy. #winning

Merry Christmas Eve!  Santa's almost here!  I'm so excited (and so is Mia)!!!!!
