Dear Anonymous..... Thank you

Just want to send a shout out to the anonymous poster who called me a total slacker for how long it's been since my last post.

Anonymous, you are right.  I will try to do better for you, Anonymous. I AM a slacker.

Honestly, I FEEL like I've been doing tons of exciting and crafty things, but I'm really just pinning them on Pinterest.  Does anyone else have that problem? LOL.

I have made tons of new recipes from Pinterest too.  I haven't made any "old familiars" in weeks.  

I also have done a couple of failed craft projects that I don't even want to get into b/c I'm so disappointed, but I've got a couple of hopefully successful ones in the making as well. 

So far, my weekend has consisted of: 

• Irish Pub in Huntington Village (so fun)
• Late night NY pizza after said pub
• Grocery shopping (Side note: so proud of myself for how well I'm doing at adding in more fresh veggies and fruits into my diet)
• The BEST EVER TRIP TO THE DOLLAR TREE -- I was so excited, this deserves it's own post. Maybe it's because my creative juices are flowing, but I am getting so excited about turning "nothing" into something cool.  Be on the lookout for some REALLY CHEAP projects stemming form this trip.
• Failed craft project #1- trying to make my own mail organizer
• Freezer cooking - my new "thing" is making things specifically to have on hand in the freezer so I'm not tempted to eat out.  Also, it's nice to come home after work and throw something in the oven instead of spending an hour making dinner.'
• Finally getting around to printing out pictures for my collage picture frame.  I have literally had the pictures that came in the frame hung on my wall for three months.  I should be ashamed.  Best part, the pictures I got were free b/c I hadn't yet registered with CVS.com to print pics.  The first 25 prints are free when you sign up! 

I Finally Gave In....

..... and joined Pintrest.

I created an account a LONG time ago, but I knew in the back of my mind that as soon as I got started, I would become totally obsessed.  I kept hearing more and more people talk about how much they loved it and how many cool Pintrest projects they were working on, so I decided to give in.

Just FYI, I was totally right that I would be obsessed.  It's such a fun website. I think you can learn a lot about a person by seeing their "boards" on the site.  I mean, you can find out what food they eat, what they want their home to look like, and what their personal style is all about too.  Heck, you can even see what their dream wedding will look like! It's incredible. 

One of the best things I've realized on Pintrest is it's a great way to find random blogs that are related to your interests.  I can't wait to start following a few of them.

I even found one that is $0 Dollar Home/Craft projects, where you use random stuff you'd find around your home and turn the "junk" into something cool or beautiful.  It's pretty amazing.  I need to find it again, I didn't save the link.  

Anyway, if you're reading this and considering joining... DO IT.  You'll love it, I promise.  And if you need an invite, let me know your email address.
