Pinterest Freak!!

I have become a Pinterest freak, yup I admit it I think I need a 12 step program.  But, honestly you can't go wrong with lots of do it yourself craft projects, home improvement ideas, and cooking ideas on the cheap.  I am getting spring fever which for me means giving the house a huge overhaul.  I like to do a super clean and then I like to re-arrange and re-do and plain old freshen up a few things around here.  Blame it on these loooooong crappy Michigan winters.  It is April 20th today and yes we had snow this morning.  Ugh!  So I have been not looking out the window and pretending we really are in the midst of spring.  These are some of the cool things I have been up to! 
I made this the night before the bombings at The Boston Marathon.
My 10 year old princess said to me the night of the bombing "Mom this is very appropriate today."  
So sad that we live in such a fallen world.
I made this pretty little wreath last week at a "Mommy and Me Craft Day" at our church.  I am going to be re-doing our entrance/stairway which is the main way we come into our home.  We never use the front door.  We are backdoor kinda people.  More to come on that project later.  For this I used a foam wreath and wrapped it in chenille yarn and then added handmade flowers.  Love them I also added the welcome banner made on the Cricut.  The banner is stuck on with stick pins so I can decide later.  
The princess made these projects on our craft day. 
She took a canvas painted the back ground and then cut out and layered flowers.  This was a craft idea found on Pinterest too :)  
Back to pinning :)
