9th Day of Pinterest

Today is a fun day because on the 9th day of pinterest I got out my power tools and glue gun and started to DIY...

I LOVE DIY...and I can't, can't, can't wait to show you some of my awesome DIY gifts that I've made for this Christmas but I can't just yet because well many of them will go to those that are reading this blog...sorry to those of you who aren't going to get an awesome DIY present from me, maybe next year?

 Belt Frame - What a cool way to use old belts a great family memento!
 

Homemade tile coasters - you could do any design or color pallet.


Burlap Covered Letters - So to continue my burlap obsession...this is modge podge, not sure how it would work but I hope to try it out someday!


 Retrofitted Knife Block - Such a cool idea.


Faux Metal Letters - These are cardboard and spraypainted with metallic paint


Burlap (again) placemats - Use a sharpie and create one-of-a-kind placemats.


Brown Sugar Scrub - This looks awesome and amazing.


Cranberry Lime Vodka - So easy to make, so fun to give!

Adult Hot Chocolate Mix - How cute is this and it can be provided in a Mason Jar!

10th Day of Pinterest


On the 10th Day of Christmas my friends say to me…
Throw a party.

Likely won’t happen this year unless I can sneak something in but always good to have a list of ideas in case you get a hair to throw an impromptu get together or are hosting a family affair.


Roll-up Tree – So cute, so simple and I’ve seen another version that stacks the roll ups so they make a 3-D tree, the flat version would travel much easier.

Brie and Cranberry – Simple and tasty option to the traditional baked brie.

Holiday Buffet Jars – These are so simple to make and can be any color you want and would display things like nuts and candies so nicely.

Drunk Cherries – reminds me of a drunk pineapple recipe that my friend Angie makes that is a huge hit for tailgating or summer parties.

Edamame Snacks – Edamame + parmesan = tasty little snack. 

Cheese tree – So cute and who doesn’t love cheese?

Hot Crab Dip – anything baked in a bread bowl with cheese and crab I’m good with.

Burlap and lace table runner – simple, just simple and classic.

Menu Card – Such a fun way to display the menu.

Individual Veggie Cups – In French bread hollowed out with dip in the bottom…my mind is blown.
