Top Ten Pin Thursday

One of my favorite things right now is Pinterest! Here are my Top Ten Pins this week!

1. Peach Mango Sangria

I found a recipe for Sangria on Pinterest a couple months ago and I have made it a couple times. When I found this one, I knew it would make for a fun, new twist. A delicious one at that!

2. 25 Things I've learned in my 20's

I laughed, wanted to cry and smiled when I read this. All 25 facts are true. Either ones that have already, are currently or I know will occur in my life.

3. Lampshade

One of my best girls and co-workers, Angie, gave me a lamp shade for a "new" lamp  I got. It won't fit on it but I know it will work great for this project. It will also go perfectly in my bedroom!

4. Texas Sheet Cake Cupcakes

I'm from Texas, I love chocolate and I love cupcakes! How can I not LOVE these little pieces of Heaven? These are next on my TO BAKE LIST!

5. Baby Onesies Pillow

I've always been a fan of the t-shirt blankets. With this pillow, you make it out of your babies onesies. I'm on it with Kallie's!

6. I Got the Blues

I so want a silky see-through shirt like this one. It is perfectly paired with these shorts. I LOVE this look!

7. the little things
{via pinterest}

I know Kallie is only 3 1/2 but it amazes me with how much she grows each day. She is the silliest, smartest, sweetest... little things she does from day to day are simply amazing. I am trying to remind myself to enjoy them before I turn around and she is in college. Feels like yesterday when she was kicking away in my belly.

8. The Crazy Ones
{via pinterest}

As I grow closer to 30, I feel more and more confident of my dreams. They are crazy dreams and the harder I work, I KNOW I can achieve them. I WILL achieve them.

9. Going to the Chapel (x2)
{via pinterest}

Not one, but two of my friends/co-workers are getting married this weekend. Same day, totally different cities! It wasn't planned, LOL! I am so happy for them and for their partners! This picture reminds me of one of them, Martin! I hope they take a picture like this! Yay, Libby and Martin!

10. Wedding Cake
{via pinterest}

When I think of weddings, I think of wedding cake! This one combines it with chevron and the colors are beautiful!

Have a great day bloggers!

i pinned that!




I had seen this neat pin a long time ago when I first joined Pinterest. The idea came from Bonkers About Buttons. I wanted to wrap all my Christmas presents like this but ended up going with another pin. So, I thought I would try it for Mother's day instead!

I had so much fun doing this pretty project!

Materials:

-Present :-)
-Wrapping paper
-Scissors
-Tape
-Ribbon, string, raffia, etc.
-Buttons

First, wrap up your present. Next, thread your ribbon through the button holes. After doing this, wrap the ribbon around your present. You can do this as many times as you would like. You can keep it like this or even tie little ribbons through the buttons. Overall, it was a very fun Pin project and everyone thought it was super cute! Kallie even wanted one of her very own!

I am going to start trying to complete one Pinterest project a week, whether it be creating some artwork, cooking something or even trying something out fashion wise. I just love how Pinterest gets my creative juices flowing. Eventually I'm going to create a link up so keep coming back for more! :-)

Happy Monday bloggers! :-)
