My Life in Pinteresting

Have I ever talked about Pinterest? I think it may have been one of the reasons I was not posting in April...then again maybe it was all the homework for my MBA...No matter.

I love Pinterest! My cousin introduced me to it over Christmas time and I quickly became addicted!

Since then, I have amassed some 1640 pins and 13 boards! That actually is not that many. I know some people with loads more pins than that!

Birthday Loot!

Well, I had a birthday earlier this month and I got some wonderful presents!! I just have to share some pictures of them with you! I also got a sweet new camera (it's pink!), but did not take a picture of it...hehehe!

Mom borrowed one of my jewelry boxes to put some beads in that she got at the yard sale.

My sister made the most delicious Chocolate Pavlova with fresh, hand whipped cream and fresh raspberries; plus Raspberry Sorbet! It was amazing!

My sister also decided to make me a series of headbands/fascinators. This one is made of pom-poms.

Another jewelry box with beads in it!

That is most of the loot! See the cool headband with the feather?! Made by my sister!!

The other jewelry box full of beads! Delicas, crystal stones, and sew-on settings for the stones. :D

See the pretties?!

This is the feather headband. I love it!!

Bazinga headband! Love the Big Bang Theory!

This is the cutest thing ever! It looks like a little bitty chick from Shaun The Sheep!

Black Ants in a pea-pod boat!

Some awesome color changing beads from my lovely Grandma!

This is an earring tree, also made by my sister. She knows I love pink...

I got this awesome vintage party tray set from my Aunt Becky! It is so cool and came in it's original box! 4 Trays, 4 Cups, and 4 Glasses! They used to use these before they had paper plates, but they are not disposable. They are made of glass and I love them so much!

Here is one of the sets! Aren't they adorable?!

It was the best birthday ever! Full of surprises and delights, just the way I would want it!

Life is Awesome!

So today Mom and I were out grocery shopping and decided to stop at a couple of craft stores because there were some sales going on. We needed more black clay for the antique jewelry and then we found out that another store was having a 50% off sale on spools of ribbon! Wohoo!!! Look at these lovelies!

Also, my sister started a new class this week! Classic Pastries and Chocolates!! I am so excited about this class of hers! Last night she brought home a chocolate mousse and it looks soo good!

Doesn't it look Divine?!

And another fun thing! We got two new computers earlier this year and my dad decided he needed to take the hard drives out of the old ones and keep them. So, while he had it all taken apart...he asked me if I wanted anything...Of course, me being me, I said, "Yes please! Can I have it all?!" He took it all out for me! Look at this great stuff I have!

There are two motherboards, 4 DDR RAM, video cards, sound cards - the works! All mine! I can't wait to start making some jewelry with it all! Life is so great!

More Baking!

Here are the wonderful things we made today!

Chocolate Crinkles

Christmas Cookie Cream Waffers

Oh, how I love Christmas baking with my family! We still have several more things to make tomorrow too! It will be so great!

The day before Thanksgiving Day!

 Oh! Today was a fun day!I got to make some awesome Cake Pops with my sister! Here are a few pictures!

We made a ton of them!

Isn't it cute!!!!

While we were not making these sweet little cake pops we watched a couple of movies and I made some rings while I watched. Here are the rings:

This one was commissioned by Katelynn.

Another one for Katelynn.

This is one that Casey ordered.

This is just one that I made for myself!

Can you tell I love pink?!

So that was my day before Thanksgiving Day. It was pretty good. It is so nice to be home and be able to create! :D
