You're my favorite mistake

All I do is win, win, win no matter what.

I've had mixed results with Pinterest - most of the recipes I've made have been pretty good, but there was that one pretty epic fail.

For my next project, I decided to try something basically fool-proof, and wouldn'tyaknow, it actually worked!

All you do, it get a blank canvas and using tape, write down whatever you want it to say. The pin said to do kids names to hang in bedrooms, but we did this as a Father's Day gift for her grandpa so we did "I love you".

After you mark off the words, put down some paint and have them go to town! Finally, you pull up the tape and - TA-DA!

Super easy, and like I said, pretty much fool-proof. Her grandpa loved it, so if you need a relatively inexpensive and easy homemade gift, I definitely recommend this one!

Have you had any Pinterest wins?

Or fails?

I'm not afraid, to take a stand.

It's like you want me to, like you want me to fail.

I saw this on Pinterest a few weeks back and immediately pinned it-I just knew Maddy would have so much fun with it!

The little blurb under the picture said to cut open glow sticks and pour them into bubble solution, and tada! Glowing bubbles! Can't get much easier than that!


So I went around last week and got supplies and told Maddy about it-we were all sooo excited, it was pretty much all she talked about on Sunday night. 


We go outside Sunday night and start playing with bubbles and when it starts getting dark, we cut open a glow stick, pour it in and try it out. 


 Nothing. 


 Hmmm... maybe these are just small glow sticks, let's just put in another. 


 Nope. 


One more? 


Nada. 


The bottle was glowing, but the bubbles were just plain, old bubbles- Maddy and I were so disappointed! 


After she went to bed, I got on Pinterest and clicked on the picture, taking me to the website that explained everything... Well, apparently you're not supposed to use glow sticks at all! The woman said to use glow in the dark paint and people in the comments were remarking on the fact that someone had skewed it on Pinterest to say glow sticks and no one was having success! Apparently, I wasn't the only one lol 

Moral of the story? 

Read the website, not just the Pin lol

FAIL

Make me feel a little better-

Have any of ya'll had any Pinterest fails?

Now, I have a date with a pool...

 Later, gators!

Love is, love is, love is the greatest story.

Just another manic Monday.

Because of my schedule, Monday is technically my Wednesday. But for some reason, that doesn't make them any better some weeks! haha At least it's almost done and hey, only two more days till a day off-there's some positive thinking :-)

Hope ya'll had a good Monday!

I just can't resist the chance to risk.

I took a chance and it didn't work out quite the way I wanted it to. I wish I could say I didn't care, but honestly, I'm more upset than I thought I'd be. But I took a risk, and I put myself out there, and I really feel like God put this in my life and in my heart for a reason-even if I don't know it just quite yet.

It'll all work out in the end.

It takes a leap of faith to get things going, in your heart you must trust

I really can't even put into words how thankful I am. I am blessed beyond belief.

I hope you all are having a lovely Thanksgiving.

'Cause it's turkey to eat. So good.

Seeing all the delicious pins on Pinterest lately has gotten me even more excited (if that's possible!) for Thanksgiving! I love seeing my family, but let's be honest, we're all looking forward to some yummy dinner, right? Here are some of the things I'm looking forward to chowing down on haha

For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I can cap them all.

To say I can be a huge nerd is an understatement. I don't publicly geek out about many things, but one thing I just can't contain my love for his Harry Potter. I mean seriously, I even did my nails for the last movie premiere. I'm actually gearing up to reread the entire series again and some of the lovelies on Pinterest have been feeding my obsession with lots of awesome HP pins.
