Pinterest Addiction

Pinterest is my new addiction. Yes, I found this idea for Valentines cards on it and for less than $1.50 I made Elizabeth's class cards (with just her and the giant heart)!

Since coming down from my high of taking statistics - well that was a low but completing it and getting an A was a high- I have found myself this semester twiddling my fingers. DON'T ROLL YOUR EYES!

Yes, I still have things to do like teach preschool, taxi cab boys around town after school, play princess with Sister Girl, be our housecleaner and cook and most importantly cheer lead my husband on while he trudges through his diseration!

But I have lost the "important" feeling I had last semester - and so I'm twiddling my fingers. I can't help it that I have my mother's genes in me. We don't know how to sit still! Seriously...

So, I have discovered Pinterest. I waited until I received my final grade in December before logging on. I knew I wouldn't have enough will power to withstand the pull of craftiness from fellow peers. I'm glad I did so.

Since entering the world of Pinterest I have spent an entire month (every night for hours on end including all day Saturdays) to paint and glue bead board onto my kitchen cabnets. See picture below...



Let me say I couldn't have done it without the help of my husband, his saw and his caulking skills. I LOVE my kitchen now!!!!

I have also made a picture frame weekly schedule, a weekly menu to hang on the wall, learned to fix my hair in new and crazy ways, baked home made crescent rolls for the first time along with other new receipes, completed preschool crafts with my 3 year olds that are adorable, among many other things!

I have a list of projects now to keep me occupied at night. From organizing my cabnets, making book holders for each child's bed, modgepoding scrapbook paper on my electric outlet covers, fixing my hair in cute little twists and braids, sewing Sister Girl the latest dress (well I would need to know how to operate my sewing maching to do that one), cook 1,000 meals, and about 500,000 preschool craft ideas I don't think I will be twiddling my fingers for a long time.

Not to say I want to fill my time reorganzing my life forever but at least until I can register for A & P sometime in the future I hope it will keep my brain busy!

Long live Pinterest!
