Pinterest Junkie

Ok, I will admit it right now.  I am rapidly becoming a pinterest junkie.  When Phil's cousin told me over Christmas dinner that her boyfriend has threatened 'pinterventions' on her, I laughed.  However, I now see why!  I find myself longing for the next pin to inspire me to make something great.  The wonderful reality is that it has been inspiring me.  Here are some of the things I've done because of pinterest:

• I've tried making my own coffee creamer (to go with my tea tower of course!), an easy tasty treat.  http://deliciouslyorganic.net/homemade-dairy-free-sugar-free-coffee-creamer-recipe/
• Someone posted a recipe (sorry don't remember which!) from what has now become my favorite dessert website.  If you haven't heard about chocolatecoveredkatie.com you better make some time to browse and drool over her healthy desserts.  We've tried the pizzert, chocolate cookie dough dip, and  baked cinnamon roll oatmeal so far and haven't been disappointed.
• http://smashedpeasandcarrots.blogspot.com/2011/08/no-bake-energy-bites-recipe.html--quite possibly the fastest naughty tasting healthy snack around.
• made an adorable tshirt dress for my sister.  She loved it!  http://pinterest.com/pin/9570217927961342/
• I also whipped up a version of this dress over the weekend.  You'll have to wait to see mine until I can get the right kind of belt to go with it.  I tried it with a skinny braided belt and it just didn't fit the bill.  Hopefully I can get to the store over the next weekend and find one!  http://sweet-verbena.blogspot.com/2011/07/boho-maxi-dress-tutorial.html
• The best thing that I've gotten from pinterest is this decluttering calendar for 2012.  I knew that I wanted to get rid of our extra junk that's been sitting around to have a more peaceful, self sustaining (read: less cleaning on my behalf) home.  This calendar has been just the trick with 15 minute a day jobs.  I tend to be an all or nothing person, so instead of trying to clean out our home all in one day, it has been helpful to have just one task a day to preform.  Of course there have been a few days where I've gotten a bit carried away and done more!

Of course, instead of just clicking on all of my links, you could just sign up for your own pinterest account.  Then you can check out what I've been doing, become a junkie too, start pinning like crazy and give me more, ahem, 'inspiration'!
