Pinterest Phun

I just really like using alliterations, but in this post I am going to put pictures of all my completed Pinterest projects! If you haven't heard of Pinterest it is an incredible site of inspiration for life! You have as many virtual bulletin boards as you want and each one has a different category and title, and you add pins to your boards. The pins are pictures from across the country of crafts, cooking, sayings, homes, style, you name it. Be warned you will be spending HOURS pinning really fun pictures (that lead to how-to links) on your boards.

Really you just end up pinning more then actually doing, but it gets an A+ in inspiration!

Yet, I was determined to ACTUALLY do some of the pins I had on my boards so below you will just see a few pictures of what I have done. I have also made a board solely for completed things!

It makes me feel good seeing all seven of my completion on there.

All seven make me happy!

I don't have the how-to of what I have finished here, mainly because I really don't even remember everything I did and plus the credit goes to the people in the pinterest/bloggin' world who have already done that for us!

When I think of something creative myself I will make a how-to, that's when I do.

Budget Envelopes

 I had extra double sided scrapbook paper. I unfolded an envelope that would fit in my wallet and traced it on the piece off scrapbook paper. Then I added a piece of cardstock on the back with a yarn with a blanket stitch to stick it in my wallet.

 Voila! 

I have been wanting to use this money handling method for a long time and since being married it made a great excuse to actually put it into practice 

And it helps us immensely to stay on a budget...thanks Dave Ramsey! 

 Deck o' Love

I made this deck of cards for Blake for our First Christmas! I bought the deck of cards at Bass Pro Shop, only because they had deer on them and then wrote on each card why I loved him! 

See that BIG 5 point deer!  (10 pt deer if your from the south)

 I liked how thick it was to hold and it was SUPER fun to make. 

 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars

I made these for dessert when we invited our neighbors and friends in a small group over for dinner. Are they supposed to look like this?! 

They tasted okay...I just ate the cookie dough on top! 

Cupboard Door turned Coat Hanger

my actual vision and idea

At the JF Ranch there is an OLD OLD house that has been vacant for at least a 1000 years

maybe a hundred years

Blake just informed me at least 50 years.

Well, we went in this house, hopping from beam to beam where the floor wasn't completely caved in and found this gem (and many more) in the kitchen. It was an old cupboard door that we took off. Then we took the authentic glass knobs off the other cupboards and drawers that didn't look at great.

We drilled holes into the wood, I bought bolts from Home Depot and we put this puppy together.

I felt like a handy (wo)men. I think Extreme Home Makeover could hire me.

 There it beautifully hangs in our little humble abode.

Thanks Pinterest and all you out there full of inspiration! Here are the links of the above projects:
