Sorry for the lack of post yesterday, but I was busy taking deep breaths in a paper sack. You know my addiction love of Pinterest runs deep, and it even spawned a recurring series around here cleverly titled {Pinterest Projects}.
So obviously I’m on board every time the fabulous Katie of Bower Power and Sherry of Young House Love host a Pinterest Challenge! This was Katie’s brainchild last year to encourage us to get off our computer-parked-arses and actually make something we’d pinned. In a nutshell, STOP PINNING AND START DOING!
I’m super excited because it’s time for the Winter Edition of The Pinterest Challenge! (Nevermind the Spring temperatures and early blooms, it is in fact, according to this banner, still Winter.)
So why was I hypervenalating and a little sick to my stomach? And what does all this have to do with The Pinterest Challenge?
Yep, that’s my mug along side Katie, Sherry and the adorble Erin of The Great Indoors. Somehow they decided it was a good idea to include me as a co-host?! What Twilight Zone am I in (and where is Edward to comfort me?!) I am beyond thrilled to partner with these fun gals. And a wee bit petrified since I have no idea what to make! Zero. Nada. Nunca!
So far in my {Pinterest Projects}, I’ve made Scrabble Tile Coasters, Chalkboard Mugs and Cinnamon Roll Waffles.
Pinterest also inspired my Convex Sunburst Mirror and Scented Pinecone Wreath, so I know it won’t let me down now.
Surely your butt is numb and you’re ready to hop up and join us!? We’d love for you to play along in The Pinterest Challenge (they don’t sponsor this lovefest, they just provide the black hole of time!)
Sherry, Katie, Erin and I will be sharing our projects that day too, so make like Snooki and hook up with all four of us! Already have some ideas of what you’ll make?
P.S — If you aren’t on Pinterest, shoot me an email and I’ll send you a free invite. But kiss the rest of your afternoon goodbye!
Yay! What a fun group to be part of. I've never done a pinterst challenge but I just may have to this time around.
Congrats on being selected for this round. Way to go! And I love your Snooki reference. Ha!
"Make like Snooki"!!!! Omg, I just spit out my coffee that is so hilarious! I'm on board with the pinterest project!!! Fun!
I was sooo excited when I saw your pretty face over at YHL! This is a big deal. I'm sooo excited for you! Can't wait to see what you make.

I was so excited when I saw your name on YHL this morning! I've pinned quite a few projects of yours so I am excited to see what you make. Now, what am I going to make???
Yay! Time to get on it. Now what can I do…so many choices.
You're worthy of your company! I'll have to stop pinning and start doing. 🙂
Of course you are co-hosting. No one could be better! That's awesome, girl!

New reader here from Bower Power! I'm looking forward to my second Pinterest challenge.
Cassie! Yay for you, this sounds like a lot of fun.
Confession = I have not entered PInterest yet, maybe if you invited me…. then I could get up off my duff and do something DIFFERENT and COOL enough to be in the big leagues with you 🙂
I love the "kiss your afternoon goodbye" comment. It is so true! I am so addicted to Pinterest, but I must say it is such an inspiration. I am going to try to do this challenge. Thanks for the opportunity!

I'm so excited that you're a host for this! I might just have to bust out my glue gun.
Okay, probably not, but it's fun to think about it.
Love love those mugs! So so cute!
I am so stoked for next weeks pinterest challenge! But gah can I pull my stuff together in only a week? Time will only tell!
Congrats Cassie!!! That is so exciting and I can't wait to see what you come up with! You're so crafty and fabulous 🙂 xoxoxo
So fun!! I will have to get moving on my "planned" Pinterest projects so I can share one next week!!
Congrats! I have no idea what to make, but I'm sure I'll come up with something. I mean I do have like 3,000 pins to choose from…
You are totally qualified to be with these ladies!

Thanks for the inspiration!
Yeay! I did your sunburst mirror but with an outdoor clock that had been forlornly hanging on the fence. I posted it to Pinterest and listed your site as inspiration including the link on how to make it. So fun and surprisingly easy. My neighbors all want a tutorial! Thanks a million for having such a fun and inspirational site. Nadia
