Pinterest Challenege

Challenge accepted!

I have  DIY to do board on Pinterest which you can view here. So when I saw the challenge pop up on YHL, Bower Power, Erin and Cassie and  I knew I needed to participate. Last time they had a challenge I was still waiting for an invite to Pinterest, lame I know. What to do that wouldn't cost any moula?

I have been saving TP rolls and paper towel rolls for awhile. My mom actually had a gardening pinterest idea with them. I gave her what she needed and used the rest for my art.

Delilah helped

Beginning design 

The "pinspiration" called for craft glue, all I had was Elmers. Lets hope it holds! 

There was a little hiccup when Dude's crooked tail knocked my "petals" off the coffee table and I had to re-arrange them only to find some missing. Where were the missing "petals"? Delilah's mouth. Good thing Elmers is non toxic!

Pardon my blurry photos, don't know what got into me. Maybe I was taking this concept a little too seriously?

My next step is sto spray paint that baby red! I am really excited about it. The only thing stopping me is the weather. Where is a gal supposed to spray toxic chemicals when its POURING rain and or snow outside? I will have to update this later. 

Office Update

When we lived in our 700 SQ FT apartment we went crazy at Ikea with the Expedit series. Coffee table, desk and book shelf. We have been living with the desk. You may remember my sister needed a desk so we took it to her and that left me without a desk. No fear, Ikea is near.  For 50$ I added another side to the existing desk. Now we have a two sided Expedit Desk.

Hers

Remember when I painted the bookshelf? I also painted these boxes and magazine holders from Ikea. I liked how the beautiful green was captured in multiple places in the room. It really makes the color pop and brighten the place. I love them. 

I still need to get a photo developed for the YHL DIY photo frame.

His

Both sides

It is still a bit cluttered but for now it does the job it was meant for. Both of us can be in the office doing what we need to do.

I really want to add some artwork I am oogling over on Etsy

I love this state artwork, and NM too!

And of course who doesn't love themselves some love birds on yellow chevron?

What Shepherd lover wouldn't love this guy too!

Love this!

Or I could always do this homage to my favorite Beatles song.

Obviously these colors make me swoon!

All I know is my walls are bare and lonely. Hopefully soon I can fix this problem.

YHL

Its official. I can die happy. I met my idols John and Sherry Petersik of YHL.

Me, Tam, Sherry and John

Notice our DIY crafts on the table for them to sign. It was a truly surreal experience as I have been following them for about two years now.I don't feel like a creepy blog stalker now that we have been formally introduced!


Now where do you put a signed picture of bloggers? Currently it is on a trial run in my cubicle at work but I feel a little awkward about it. Maybe I will scrapbook it and take it out for sale when its worth millions. Bahaha...
