Working Wives & Bachelorettes: I'm OBSESSED!

I’m not that person that goes home after work and jumps on the computer to surf the net. I use a computer so much for work that the last thing I want to do is strain my pretty, blue eyes after I get home. With that being said, I’m very out of touch with all the “cool” websites out there. However, all that has recently changed as my dear friend and fellow blogger, Katie, introduced me to Pintrest. Have you been to this site yet?! Most of you reading this are probably shaking your heads yes and thinking to yourself “jeez, this girl isn’t kidding…she really is out of touch with the Internet” but, I don’t mind, I know I’m behind the times. Needless to say, I’ve become OBSESSED with Pintrest. I’m on it all the time and it’s really sparked my creative juices and I’m finally getting some things accomplished around my house.

Here’s a brief description about some of my fun Pintrest projects that I have going on.

· I’ve have had two old windows sitting in my dining room for the last four years. I really like them but I just haven’t been able to figure out what the heck to do with them. So there they sit. They have no purpose and no home. I literally look at them every day and I question whether or not I should keep them because they are just taking up space but, thanks to Pintrest, I now have the perfect idea for them. I’m using them to create a family photo wall. I’ve already selected the photos and I’m waiting for just a couple more from my mother-in-law and up they will go. FINALLY, these fabulous old windows have a purpose! Can I just tell you how excited I am?!

· The next project that I’m working on is an arts and crafts project for above my bed. My husband and I have been living in our house for seven years and for seven years; we’ve looked for something to hang above our bed. It’s a giant wall and things that we’ve found that we have liked are either the wrong colors or too small. Now, thanks to ideas on Pintrest, I’m creating my own art piece with canvas boards from Michael's, scrapbook paper, paint and glue. What’s so great about this is it is allowing me to pick the exact size that we want and the exact colors and honestly, the project couldn’t be easier! These should be finished up this week and after seven years; we’ll finally have something hanging above our bed!

· The last Pintrest project that I’m working on is actually out in my garden. It seems weird to be talking about gardening when it’s February in Pittsburgh but, with all of the unseasonably warm weather we’ve been having, I’ve been able to get outside and do some serious clean-up in the yard. I’m currently collecting empty liquor bottles from our bar and I’m using them to line the edge of my flower beds. This is not only a great way to recycle the bottles but it looks neat and the bottles really catch the sunlight.

So what I’m trying to say is that if you haven’t been to this incredibly amazing site called Pintrest, you are missing out! It really will give you amazing ideas for your home and garden. It will give you great recipe ideas and places to travel too. It will even give you fashion ideas, book ideas and paint colors. It’s just an amazing site and I’ll be anxious to finish up my projects and show you pictures of them. Hopefully they will inspire you to get creative!
