Pinterest Challenge: Ribbon Wreath with Felt Flowers

May 7, 2013 By Shannah 9 Comments

With every season change {and sometimes more often}, I like to change the wreath on our front door.  Most often, this comes in the form of a ribbon wreath.
Now, spring has been here for a little while but our very brown winter wreath was still hanging out on the front door.  So, this weekend, I decided it was time to infuse a little color out there.  Of course, I stopped over on Pinterest for a little inspiration.

Last Valentine’s Day, I saw this mirror on The Thirty Sixth Avenue.

Embellished Mirror

I loved the mirror and knew I wanted to make something similar for H.  I found a mirror and ribbon at Michaels right after Christmas for less than $3!

Pinteresting Projects: Layered Salads

I am always stuck when it comes to what to take for lunch. I want to try to take something healthy but always have a terrible time when I pack a salad to go.  I saw a pretty cool idea over on Pinterest and figured it was worth a try. 

The idea is that, as long as your dressing and lettuce are at opposite ends, you can make your salad in advance and it will stay fresh.  Mathlete, the ex fast food worker, was doubtful.
I didn’t have a mason jar hanging around that was the right size so I just grabbed a 2 cup plastic container.

Pinterest Projects: Dipped Wine Glasses

February 20, 2012 By Shannah 23 Comments

I was cruising around Pinterest the other day and stumbled across a great project that I knew I had to try: chalkboard paint dipped wine glasses.

We do a bunch of entertaining and so this would really be great for keeping everyone’s wine glasses straight.  I used to have some of those little charms but they always get lost or broken.  This seems like a perfect alternative as we always have chalk around.

First, I grabbed one of the wine glasses from our caterer’s box set.
