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!

Pin it, Make it.

If you're on Pinterest then you already know how addictive it can be.

It's bad people.

Like, Intervention, bad.

But sometimes really great things come out it.

Great meals, genius tips to solve everyday problems, and of course party ideas!

I'm guilty though, of pinning and not doing.

Now I'm going to try and make something at least once a week that I've pinned.

Here's a heart photo prop I made after seeing it on Pinterest.

Whether it's a meal, a craft or whatever! I'm just going to do it! 

And on Mondays I'll post what I've done.

If any of you do one thing too, share it with me!

Back to Pinterest!

See you Monday!!

Coffee Filter Lamp Shade and just a dab of Flamazine Cream.

What do you do on a Sunday afternoon when one of your kids is at her Nana's house and the baby is napping and your husband just got back from fishing all weekend? 

Refurbish an old lamp, of course.

Get your minds out of the gutter.

For real though, I hot glued over 300 coffee filters onto an old lamp shade.

And lost 2 fingertips to burns in the process. 

So if there are a few typos it's, forgive my gimpy hand.

I found this picture of a lamp on Pinterest, (my new obsession) and I just had to try it!

It was taken from a blog by a lady in Oregon that is SO beautiful! (both her and her blog) 

She's a genius with home decor and refurbishing furniture.

 Seriously, go look at it right now.

This was the before...

Just getting started...

Prettiness!

Painted and proudly displayed!

And I'm totally in love with my 'new' lamp!

PS. There's a small chance that I might spray adhesive the filters and glitter it....
