Gift Idea For Those You Are Pinterested In!

So many times I will pin a fabulous cocktail, chic outfit inspiration or a great quote to remember for the day. After I pin it, it goes into my little board never to be seen or heard from again. Occasionally, I'll go back and look at that pin again, but usually it just gets lost in the shuffle.

I generally find that if I have a problem, friends will have a similar problem. Everyone is always going to be proud of their pinterest boards, so why not show it off for them. Make your friends a book filled with all of their pinterest pins this Christmas! Clever, I know, you're welcome.

I would separate the book out by chapters, each chapter being their new board. If it is a cocktail you are placing in the book, be sure to include the recipe for them!

I will probably make one for myself first, ya know, just to test out the system and know that it will be cute! Here are the sites I recommend to use for photo books.

blurb.com

shutterfly.com

mixbook.com

picaboo.com

I would personally recommend blurb.com because you can download a copy of your book for the ipad for just $1.99 on blurb! Have fun!

Hey Girl,

Hey Ryan,

Why were you not at the Oscars Sunday night? And where was your sweet face during the Golden Globes?  Without you on my television I was forced to put together my favorite Pinterest "Hey, Girl" captions instead. It was terrible.

Miss you terribly,
Sarah

Here WeGo!

So many pups, so little time. Being a rescued pup's owner (or is he my owner? I'm not really sure at times) I was so thrilled to see so many dog commercials filling up my superbowl screen. Makes me wonder  though, what if Michael Vick was playing in the super bowl, would things be different?...

 ANYWAYSSS...Here is my favorite commercial of the night...

I'd love to hear what your favorite commercial was. By the way... WHERE WERE ALL THE MILLER LIGHT COMMERCIALS? They are always my favorite and they were m.i.a. this year? What gives?

OK OK fine, I'll show you a picture of of me with my pup (twist my arm why don't ya!?)

"Excuse Me Sir, Where Are Your Nuts Located?"

Peak my Pinterest: volume 2. This round went much better than the drug addict snowmen. I decided to tackle the Hex Nut Bracelet from Honestly WTF.

I started by trying to track down the right materials (obvi). Finding the rope was no problem. I chose two different kinds of rope to experiment with: one suede, one leather. 

Here is where it gets tricky. Unlike all the other people I read who did this project, I didn't just have NUTS laying around the house in an abandoned tool box. I went into Lowe's and walked around for 20 minutes unable to find the "nuts" section. I just was praying I would stumble upon the nuts and not have to ask the Lowe's man, "Excuse me, where are your nuts located." And VOILA I found the nuts... one problem though, I couldn't find any BRASS nuts.. grrr.

Then the Lowe's man comes up and says, "Can I help you with something?" and without thinking I blurt out, "Uh yeah, I can't find your brass nuts." GAH!

ANYWAYSSS... I grabbed my nuts and ran outta there!

PROJECT TIME!

had to tape down the rope, AND YES I bought new tape for the occasion!

You need about 18-20 nuts. Braid your rope for about an inch.

Then you will start braiding your nuts into the rope. 

Then continue braiding another inch down and tie off the rope.

A Sunny Disposition

Wrote a guest post yesterday and I loved the images so much I couldn't help but share on my blog! I hope this provides you with some sunny inspiration to overcome a dreary disposition on this cold, winter day!
