Picking It Back Up

I've been gone from blogging for a long time now. Facebook seemed more convenient at the time. Now though, it seems inadequate for sharing. I need a place to put stories about the kids for future scrapbook pages. I also need a place to share a horde of pictures. Couple that with some recipes & crafts and it appears Facebook won't work anymore for me.


So I'm back blogging. I hope I can come up with some defined semi weekly posts. I'd like to pop on here fast with some projects and photos so we'll see what happens. :)

I have been on Pinterest lately way too much. I am loving all the crafts and recipes you can find. It's a really cool place. I finally got around to making some things I've pinned. Here are three:

1. Triple Pumpkin Stack







I found the instructions here at a blog that has several other neat ideas. These pumpkins were found at Hobby Lobby. The cool thing about them is they are already hollow and open at the bottom for super easy stacking. The only thing I wish I'd done to this project was to paint the urn some other color.



2. Yarn Wreath






I have a whole pin board devoted to wreaths. There are simply tons of great ideas on Pinterest for wreaths. This one was a favorite because of the combination of yarns. The idea came from this blog. I'll be bookmarking this site - so many fun ideas here!

3. Restoration Hardware $7 Knockoff Candles





This one was super cheap and easy. I found the instructions here. It's amazing how these people are looking at expensive items and coming up was economical alternatives. I had a good time painting in my monogram too. It's the "vine" font that I use all the time. I love that the P in this font is balanced. :)
