Internet crack aka Pinterest

A while ago, someone introduced me to my newest internet obsession: Pinterest. This site is so awesome, and in all seriousness is a great tool for organizing ideas. So great, in fact, that I don't know what I would do if the site ever went down. I've tried several recipes and completed numerous projects I've discovered on there since then. It's also a treasure trove of DIY ideas. Today I thought I'd share some of the projects I've completed for my home.

When I first found this adorable decal, the Pinterest link just went to an image. I was bummed, because it would have looked PERFECT in my son's room. I had one empty wall I was looking to fill, and I wanted this for it. :( But wait! After some searching, I found an actual link to the Etsy site to buy it!! Which I did, and had my husband help me put it on Micah's wall. It's too cute. If you're interested, I got the decal here.

This was actually the very first Pinterest project I did. It's so easy and cute (and inexpensive, most importantly). My baby's room has a dino theme, but I was kind of surprised to find a lack of dino decor, at least some that didn't cost a fortune. My husband and I finished these DIY cuties in a day. Yes, my husband is crafty AND manly. They look great in Micah's room. Here is the blog where I found the tutorial.

Ok. So, this wreath is one of my personal favorite finished projects. It cost less than $10 at Hobby Lobby to make. It's literally a vine wreath (about $4) and a box of those little paper umbrellas ($5ish). I stuck the umbrellas into the wreath, no glue required (though it might be a good idea; they aren't completely immobile but I haven't lost one yet). Even though my husband described it as "Margarita-ville threw up in here", I still love it. You can check out the blog post I used here.

I have a lot more projects to share, but I also have other pressing responsibilities to get to. I have my first face-to-face college course in almost 10 years tonight. Not nervous, excited. If I got a degree once, I can do it again. However, the last time I didn't have to make sure a 7-month-old had all he needed BEFORE I left him in the capable hand's of his father. Wish us luck :)
