Challenge:   Case It

June 18 - 24, 2013

 I LOVE "Scraplifting" cause it gives you an idea to use as a springboard. I found this card right around the time we were doing the umbrella challenge and already had this adorable stamp set I had never used, so wanted to try this. I know, I know, Spring is officially over. I will probably hang onto this card and use it next year and brighten someone's day with it. Anyhow, here is my take on the card. 

And here is my inspiration!

It came from this blog.

Day 5 of 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop

For the Would You Ever Guess Post from My Cricut Craft Room go Here

Hello Fellow Crafters and Blog Hoppers!! This is one fine day and I plan to spend the whole day crafting since I have been inspired by soooo many of the wonderful projects along this hop. If you have not hopped along the whole 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop so far then you are missing something! You can begin at Honey Bearz Designs and see what Lisa has and then hop along from there. Also, some awesome prizes are being offered...I know there are some I covet...no want...no I really NEED them!! LOL!

Well on to my project today...I was inspired by this on Pinterest and immediately thought of a dear sweet friend that would absolutely love to have this kind of present. Now, the lady in the blog post said she had been collecting vintage ornaments all year. I did not have that kind of time so I decided to see what my thrift stores had...at $1 a whole big bag of ornaments I could not pass them up! They were just perfect even though when I started hot gluing the ornaments on I realized I had too many red ones...so I am going to head back and get a few more to fill in some empty spots. I love the way this turned out!

Blog Hop Business: Make sure you check on over at HoneyBearz Designs for the whole lineup and to see today's sponsor and prize package. Also Lisa is given away some prizes at the FB group...for the whole hop. You can find that here. And last but not least check out the wonderful creation that Madge has for you today!

Crafting Night with my Precious Granddaughter

I did a little crafting tonight with my granddaughter. She chose a project to do off my fall decor Pinterest board and I made this fall banner I have been wanting to make for a while. Was very excited to spend the evening with a special little person in my life and do things that make her happy.

Edited to add: I am linking this up over at My Cricut Craft Room. If you are a hard core crafter she is a great blog to follow AND has awesome prizes all the time!!

Fridge Organization Part I

Welcome to our Pinterest Inspired Blog Hop.

Are you addicted to Pinterest?  Do you have several boards with pins that you said "I've got to try that!"?  Well here is your inspiration to create those awesome projects you want to try but have not yet done so.

If you arrived here from Jamie's blog then you are in the right place.  If not please start at the beginning with our fabulous hostess Ashley.

Here is my Pinterest inspiration:

And here is my take on said inspiration:

Before Pictures are on the left...the other 3 are the after pictures.

These are the details of my project:

1. I bought 3 rolls of  vinyl shelfing liner at Big Lots...score... only $2 each so total cost of this project was $6.
2. Other than that I bought nothing else.
3. I rolled out the liner and because it was a checked pattern I used the lines as my cutting guide.

This project from emptying and cleaning all the shelves in the fridge to the finished project took less than an hour.

Thank you for stopping by to see what I've made that was inspired by Pinterest.  Your next stop is Jennifer's blog to see what inspired her.

Make sure you stop by on Tuesday to see Part II of my Fridge reorganization project!

Here is the blog lineup should you need it. You may want to start at the beginning if you arrived here first.

I Don't Pin these Recipes for Nothing!

Well, we had another winner recipe for dinner thanks to my Pinterest Obsession. I have spent lots of time on Pinterest pinning recipes and categorizing them for various boards. I like to be able to find EXACTLY what I am looking for so my boards on Pinterest are very specific...Entrees, Side Dishes, Desserts, Cupcakes (they get their own board), breakfast, I even have a soup board. I even like to make notes as to when I plan to use the recipe in the comment section when I pin it. If you would like to check out my Pinterest boards just click on the P on the flag banner over on the left side.  Anyway I digress...sorry.

Tonight we had two of the recipes I had pinned recently. I had planned to have these for Sunday dinner a couple weeks ago but for some reason or another we never had it so tonight was the night for it. I was off work today and had the energy to cook up some yummy food for us tonight.

I cooked Shrimp and Grits and this great little salad (Tomato/Cucumber Salad) I thought would be a good choice for a side. Well unless you have a super picky hubby it would be fabulous. His comment was...."I would rather have just plain cucumbers sliced in vinegar and sliced tomatoes....without all that onion." Sometimes I just wish I could make whatever I want without having to think about will he like it. But really I would not have it any other way. I love pleasing my husband with food and 99% of the time do think about him and what he would like or not like.

I browse lots of different sites looking for recipes and am usually not original myself at creating recipes. So, I always want to give credit where I get them from. The Shrimp and Grits came from here. And the tomato/cucumber salad from this site. Have fun browsing and I hope I have inspired you to cook up something yummy for your hubby.

All was really delicious!
