I have an addiction

I have a HUGE addiction to Pinterest! Probably like every girl, right? I thought I would just post some of the things that I have made from the inspiration of Pinterest.
My mom and I made the cutest stick horses for the kids. Avery really really wanted a horse for Christmas so I figured a stick horse would have to suffice. I found a great tutorial on Pinterest HERE and I put my mom to work in the Hatch sweat shop!!(she visited in the summer/Fall when it was super duper hot and she said she felt like she was in a sweat shop) My mom is an amazing seamstress. She can make anything. Every time she comes to visit I put her to work on something I need done. I thought that they turned out amazing. Avery loves her horse. She tells it to giddy up all the time.

I made this Valentines necklace for Avery after seeing it HERE! I thought it was so cute! Avery even helped paint the heart! She loves her necklace especially since she got to help make it.P1030802

We have made these stuffed shells a couple of times now. Recipe found HERE. They are delicious. I love that it makes so much. You can freeze half the recipe so you can have it another time, or its a great recipe to take to someone else and then you have the other half for your dinner!P1020974
I have seen these apothecary jars everywhere recently.(I got my inspiration HERE) I think they are so cute! I think that it was a huge craze for a while because I looked at Joanns, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby for all the supplies multiple times and couldn’t get them. They were always sold out!  When I finally got my hands on all the supplies I was a little put off, so I did the project a little at a time.  I was almost finished when all the pieces were outside drying and Levi was out cleaning something with the hose and he sprayed them all down, accidentally:( After that they sat in a box for another couple months until I got the urge to finally finish them. So here they are finished, still drying! Now I need to figure out where to put them.P1030863P1030867
I made this biggest loser recipe found HERE, not because it is healthy but because it sounded good. We all know that I am not a healthy eater and couldn’t stick to a diet to save my life. Chocolate is just way to good to stay away from! Anyways they were actually really good. I would make them again. But the recipe says 18 egg whites, well I only did 15 and I still had a lot leftover that I just made scrambled eggs from.  In the future I might only do 12  eggs or because I don’t really care if it is healthy I might just do the whole egg and use less!P1030788
Well now that you know that I am addicted to chocolate, I made these Valentine cake pops. They were delicious! They were really really rich but still good. Avery was a big helper/mess maker with the sprinkles. Most of the sprinkles ended up in her mouth or on the floor.

For Valentines day Avery and I made two Grandmas brag books that I found HERE! I thought they were so cute so I downloaded there link. I couldn’t decide on only a few pictures so I tweaked it a little and made it reversible so I could put pictures on both sides. Both Grandmas loved them!P1030787P1030785

As you can see I am loving perusing Pinterest and finding fun things to try out! There are so many other things I have tried and many other things that are still in the works! Can you say I found my new love?!?!

I agree Pinterest is very addicting. It is very easy to pin things but never actually do them so it is good that you make them! That brag book is way cute!
