PINTESTED

You should know by now of my love affair with Pinterest.  All my friends who do not use Pinterest think I am a creative genius the others are totally unimpressed. "Ya" they'll say "I saw that already on Pinterest."

One of the cute little craft projects I saw one day was this little frame.

I decided to make one and hang it on the wall at the end of the hallway to our  bathroom.  I wasn't sure what Ian would think of it and if he would ever even bother to write on it but he has surprised me and seems to quite enjoy the little love notes I leave for him.  He even reciprocates and leaves me little messages that warm my heart.  Sometimes the notes can even get a little... um...playful for want of a better word and I have to think twice before I tell someone that they can just go into my room to grab something from my bathroom.  Don't worry I am not going to share those ones with you but here are a couple of innocuous ones.

This one was in reference to those hideous peacock pants I wore once( and never again).

 This is one from just recently when I redid our bathroom.

Yes, I know my husband's handwriting is neater than mine and no it didn't actually take three weeks for him to notice.  He had been away for that long but it still made for a funny comment that was technically true.

If you know me at all you know that I am all about Pinterest.  It's a great site to get ideas and save them so that you don't have to search the internet for that great quilt, craft, recipe, or printable you came across once weeks ago.  I'm pretty much addicted but that's a whole other story.

Often the captions under some pictures will say something to the effect that the original pinner tried it and it was the best/easiest/most delicious thing ever.   I have to admit that sometimes I am taken in by these claims and rush out to the store to buy ingredients only to be disappointed. Sometimes though the recipes are worthy of every bit of praise.

DO TRY:

Roasted Broccoli

Avocado Pasta

Chicken Taquitos

Lemon Tartlets

Coconut Lime Sugar Cookie

Avocado Milkshake

GIVE THESE A MISS!

(No links here, trust me, you won't want them)

Crockpot Sludge Oatmeal

Brownie made in a waffle iron.

That last one was a disaster and a half.  It took me ages to clean my waffle iron.  I was able to salvage some of the brownie and use it as crumble on top of ice cream which was actually rather nice and crunchy.  My advice, don't bother trying, it's not worth the effort it takes to clean up the mess.
