In My Best Pinterest . . .

Are you a Pinterest addict?  If so, it's time to stop making "wish lists" and start making those wishes come true.  Trish, of Love, Laughter and a Touch of Insanity is sponsoring the "Pin It/Do It Challenge" during the month of October.  The concept is pretty basic - make or do some of the things you have pinned; give/receive encouragement from other pinners, and maybe get some ideas for future projects.  If you want to give it a try, visit Trish's blog to sign up (link above).

Trish offers three levels of participation to coincide with your level of enthusiasm.  I am signing up for the "Pin Obsessed" level, which is to accomplish 8 or more pins. I created a "Pin it/Do it Challenge" board with all the things I thought I might actually try.  There are twenty-one pins on it and there's no way I'm going to get to them all, but my hope is to get some Christmas gifts made, try a new recipe or two, and finally hang some bedroom curtains (we've only lived here 18 months).  Here's what I have lined up:

Sewing: 

• Book marks
• Coasters
• Business card holders - to hold all those "rewards" cards stores give out.
• Potholders
• Casserole Carriers
• Placemats/table runners
• Coffee Cup Cozies
• Bottle "aprons"
• Bedroom curtains

Cooking - low calorie/low fat recipes:

• Ranch Dressing
• Strawberry Muffins 
• Skinny Monkey Cookies
• Weight Watchers Taco Soup

DIY Projects and Other Crafts:

• Spoon Ring
• TV Tray Ironing Board
• Curtain Headboard
• Christmas Gift Tags
• Gratitude Journal
• Book Page Christmas Trees

Decorating:  Candy Corn Candle

Activities:  Nature Treasure Hunt (with kids/grandkids)

If you want to try any of these projects, you can find them on my Pinterest Challenge board.
