I love Pinterest. Anyone who’s ever visited this blog knows this. I’ve gotten some of my favorite crafty recipes and ideas from the site (or used it to store ideas I found elsewhere) and there’s no doubt I wouldn’t have found some of those things — wouldn’t have even known to look for them — […]
Summer Projects
It’s safe to say I have a bit of a Pinterest problem. I love the site and its possibilities: more cute things than you could possible ever craft, make or do in a lifetime. It’s a lot of fun, but from time to time I get a little Pinterest guilt because I’m pinning a lot […]
