Pinning? With Pleasure!

45 Comments/ 4723/ 0

Yep—I love Pinterest and have gotten sucked into it .  I don’t spend a ton of time on it but when I first discovered it early on I was pinned  hooked.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with it it is a great social media website that allows members to share pictures of things that they love.  It could be recipes, home DIY projects, crafts, favorite books, clothing and style makers, sayings and quotes, photography—the sky is the limit.  The member “pins” images that link to the website or source of the idea, picture, etc.  It is amazing.  I have gotten tons of great ideas and recipes and thought that I would share a few of those with you today.  I am not even going to start on the recipes today—-that is a post for another day!  Here are a few that top my list!

  1. Line refrigerator shelves with inexpensive placemats cut to fit the shelves. This helps keep shelves clean while adding a bit of style to your appliance!!!!  

  1. Use a nice looking wine rack to store towels attractively!  This one is put to use in our exercise room in the event we actually work up a sweat!! 

  2. Put a few drops of essential oil on the cardboard tube of the toilet paper roll. Each time you “unroll” you get a nice little fresh scent!  

  3. Make coasters out of inexpensive tiles, scrapbooking paper and ModPodge for a customized and individualized gift!!!!  Plan to do a step by step post on this later but it is EASY!  

  4.  Perk up a party with specialized theme candles using votive holders, tealights and baking decorating crystals !  This one is in scarlet and gray for my brother in law’s love of all things Ohio State but what a great way to decorate for Halloween with some of those Halloween colored baking sugars and toppings!  

  5. Zipper Keeper Upper–Yep–that is the technical name!!!   Take a key ring and put in the slot in the zipper tab of those favorite pants that the zipper keeps falling down.  Pull up and look the key ring around the button and magic!!!  No more throwing the pants out because the zipper won’t stay up! 

If you want to follow me on Pinterest just click on the box at the top of my blog!  I would love to see what YOU are pinning so let me know in the comments below what is your favorite “pin”!!!!

Old Girls in Low Cotton

This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

An Abundance of Katherines
by John Green
Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
