Pinning Love - Head, Heart and Hand!

Welcome to February!  But where on earth did January go?  I can see 2012 is going to be another year that just flies by.

Have you joined the Pinterest craze yet?  I've been a member for quite some time now, and I just love using it as a pinboard to keep pictures of all the cool things I find around the internet close at hand.

With February being the month of Love, I thought I'd share 3 of my recent pins relating to Love.  Something Inspirational for the Head, Touching for the Heart and Creative for the Hand!

Till next time,

Pinning My Time Away...

I don't think there's anything much better or more relaxing than to sit down and just browse Pinterest. I seriously think I could lose myself in there all day. I've been known to lose a few hours here and there. I thought I would swing by today and share some of my recent favorites! (Images are linked)

I love this idea with the leaves being made out of cute scrapbook paper! What a lovely decoration!!

This is one my most recent pins...I so need to do better about making menus for my family and what a cute way to do it!

I'm really thinking about making a banner and this one is just too cute and doesn't look complicated at all!

This is one that I actually did...chopping the sleeves off an old sweater.  Mine didn't turn out quite as great as the photo, but I have worn them under tall boots and it's such a cute look!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I'm back to pinning!!

Paper Crafts @ Pinterest

Pinterest...one of the best internet sites ever!  Also one of the biggest time suckers ever....

I like browsing for craft ideas and seriously this place is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!  Type what you're looking for in the search box, sit back and let your eyes revel in the goodness that unfolds!

I searched 'paper" and this is a small selection of what I found that I've repinned for a rainy day:

This gorgeously simple heart garland made out of a dictionary.  You can find the tutorial here.

I love these inchies!  The colours make me happy and imagine what you could do with this idea! Inchies are 1" x 1" squares made from anything for anything...they could be magnets, made of paper, fabric, glass...the possibilities are endless!  More information on inchies here.

And to finish, check out this amazing site on paper flowers for your wedding!  That bouquet is stunning!!

I hope you feel inspired to create today!

Cheers,
Pene

Last minute?

Ok...who's with me? Last minute rushing around for holiday gift ideas for school or the office? Jand here and I have been madly scanning websites and especially Pinterest lately looking for ideas for things I can make easily and fairly cheaply to give as teacher gifts for my kids and myself. So, I thought I'd share some of the things I've found and maybe help out someone else in the same situation I'm in right now :/ All images are linked to the original sites.

This is just too cute for younger ones on your list, or school...playdough with glitter in jars to look like candy canes

Such a pretty ornament and great gift for a music lover

 

These little snowmen would be a great gift that the kids can help out in making

These I found a while back and what a great way to recycle Pringles cans...we go through lots of those!

I give several Starbucks gift cards every year...this is such a cute idea for wrapping them!!

And this is the one that I'm really hoping to have time to do for some of my coworkers! Cute Citrus Salt Scrub.

I truly hope that each and everyone of you has a wonderful and blessed Christmas.
