The Good and The Evil About It.

Pinterest that is.  It's good, it's great, it's inspiring, it gets the creative juices flowing.  But MY GOODNESS.  It's bad.  It's SO bad at taking up my time.  I can browse for hours if allowed.  It's my go-to website when I'm nursing Ezekiel.  Or sometimes when he's playing on the floor with his toys.  And even (guiltily) sometimes when he's hanging onto my knees, wanting me to play with him.  I've been on it even more than usual with the holidays approaching.

We're hosting Thanksgiving at our house this year, so I've found a few (small) projects to do for the festivities coming up this week. :)  Also, since my brother and sister in law will be in town from Texas for Thanksgiving (and not Christmas), we are doing a little mini-Christmas gift exchange with them while they're here.  So that means I'm making Christmas presents already...and where else to find good ideas for gifts, other than Pinterest?!  I mean, really!? :)

I'll show you what I've made for my sister in law and brother soon...(after I've given them the gifts, of course!)  Here are some projects that I've had my eye on to make for others (or maybe myself for Christmas! haha):

Soap Mason Jar
This one I've wanted to make since before the days of Pinterest!  I have the supplies, but I just need my handy man to do it for me...and I haven't wanted to nag. :)

And of course there are more...but I can't reveal those yet. ;)

There's this thing floating around the blogosphere called the Pinterest Challenge...You know, where you ACTUALLY make the things you've "pinned"...I'm standing up and taking the challenge!  :)  I'll show you soon what I've been spending the week working on!

Hope you've all been well. :)  I missed this blog for the last couple weeks!

Love, K
