A Pinterest Inspired Project

Awhile back I saw a photo and thought "What a great idea! I know we have ours from our first Christmas in this house." (where to find it was a different thought to myself) I "pinned it" for future reference.

If you still aren't with me, it is the cut off the fresh Christmas tree. Our first Christmas in this house we had a real tree. I thought we could do something cool with this part so I kept it. I found it on the front porch as part of the decoration there. It was drab and sad looking and showing some signs of being outside and unloved. (perhaps it is thanking pinterest right now...or perhaps I should've gotten more sleep)

I started with these items....

and ended up with this...I like. Do you?

Here are a couple close ups

The whole thing one more time

Pin It

Won't it be pretty on Christmas tree? Or who knows where it just might end up. *tee hee*

How do you Pinterest? (or don't you?)

Hi Everyone! We've made it another day closer to the weekend! My friend Mandi over at Mandi Being Crafty has been doing a series called "What I am loving on Pinterest". I thought I would give her a shout out today and show you what I am loving on Pinterest. When you are done here I hope you will go visit Mandi and give her some blog love. She has some GREAT projects and ideas over there!!!!


Here's SOME of what I've pinned this week. If you have no idea what we are talking about, you are either the sane one OR you are missing out on lots of ideas (and another way to totally blow some time--maybe that is why some of those projects didn't get finished.)

Isn't this just a sweet sweet picture?

(it seems to have been pinned without a place of origin, or I would have given credit)

The witch is----IN. Made me chuckle!

We have a Charlie Brown tree. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Seuss, going to have to fine one of these. (this one shown as being found in a google search)

I love paper and stamps so this seems like a no brainer doesn't it?

finally, some words of wisdom. I think it is so true! There are times/events that weren't the most pleasant, but they definitely molded me into who I am today!
