Pinterest Partay!

I hosted a Pinterest party this weekend. What a total blast! When talking to friends about my idea, everyone said they had never heard of such an event before. Could *I* possibly be the creator of the Pinterest party??
I'm totally taking credit for this one!

Never heard of a Pinterest party?? Well, of course you haven't! After all, I came up with it and you probably weren't invited. :( Sorry. Nothing personal. I just probably don't know you, and therefore don't want you visiting my house at night. Although had you shown up with baked goods, I more than likely would have let you in. I'm a sucker for brownies.

Everyone made an item they found off of Pinterest. Our theme? For the home. Ahh...I love, love, love home goods! Dry erase calendars, coasters, vases, plant pots...these are the things that make my heart go pitter patter. I can't help but get all giddy when I pin something pretty for my house. I actually make a lot of stuff, so there's a good chance I will shortly have that item sitting somewhere in my home. The color, style and personalizing options dominate pretty much all my free time thoughts (I know...what are those?!).

We all brought a food item we found on Pinterest too. It was quickly determined that if you give 10 women a choice on any type of food to bring to a party, chances are high we will pick a dessert. With chocolate. And peanut butter. Too much sugar.....oh the sweet pain......


We ate, did a white elephant gift exchange with our Pinterest items and all ended up with an amazing new item for our home, and so full of sugar we could fly .


Can't wait for the next Pinterest party. Our next theme? All about me! We're making something that is personal to us. Something we like to give as a gift or make, or something that has a special meaning to us. So many ideas floating through my head! Lucky for me, my little Dictator likes to paint, mod podge and color. So many crafts, so little time!
