Pin It, Make It Monday #2

Sorry this is so late in getting posted.

I have been at the dentist since 8 getting my face frozen cavities filled.

I love the dentist.

You know what I love for real though?

Vietnamese food.

SO good!

I've had these rice papers in my pantry for forever and 

Found this recipe 

and knew it was meant to be!

 Soaking the wrappers...

Filling....

 Here's my little baby, all wrapped up!

I substituted the shrimp for ground beef seasoned with ginger and garlic and hoisin sauce. 

It was gooooood.

And can I just tell you that this dippin' sauce is THE sauce!

It's the sauce I always want to make but fall short of perfect.

My only substitution was to omit the diced jalapenos.

I had none so I used some Sambal Olek instead.

You need to make these!!

The First Pin It, Make It Monday!!

I was a little nervous about what pin I should try and do this weekend.

I wanted it to be a big one.

Yet do-able.

I think I found one that anyone can do!

I'm in love with subway art.

I know its not the newest trend on the blogging block, but it hasn't stopped popping up on Pinterest!

I'm waaaaaay to cheap to buy one, and I wanted mine to be special as well.

On Pinterest I came a cross this girls blog.

She's awesome!!

Her blog made me want to do E-V-E-R-Y project she's made.

She's just that awesome.

And frugal.

I like frugal.

So here's my first attempt.

Every place that Ben and I have been to together.

 I know it's not your normal white on black, but that didn't really go with our bedroom anyways.

 I also really like the clean, crisp-ness of the aqua on white.

And this is just a little snap of us.

I hope you enjoyed the first Pin It, Make It Monday. 

I know I felt very productive in actually doing something with my pins!
