Playing with Pins: Part 1

Ever since I was a teenager I have been a magazine clipper. Happily I would thumb through the glossy pages and gather ideas for future projects, crafts, recipes, my dream home, etc. I would file these plans away in carefully labeled manila folders. Periodically, I would pull the clippings out as holidays approached, but more often than not they were forgotten and ignored.

Enter Pinterest--my modern electronic filing system. I LOVE it. I am hooked, AND, I actually play with the pins I've collected. Evidence below:

The sheet music magnets turned out perfectly (original pin here).

I made these tissue paper pom-poms for a bridal shower I hosted this summer. The brides' colors were light blue and red (original pin here).

This single-serving chocolate chip cookie is quite a dangerous pin for me because it works and is SO good (original pin here).

I thought this idea was quite clever--scarf organization (original pin here).

Finally, Kellie is sporting a happy "Martha" face because we finally found an efficient way to cut corn off the cob. No more kernels all over the counter and cutting board. Brilliant! (The original pin is here.)
