Pinn-ing!

I say "Pin-ing!" the same way that

 Charlie Sheen says "Winning!".

Don't know if anyone else does that or if it's just me.

And if I'm an oddball when it comes to that one,

 then well, I'm not the least bit ashamed.

 Causes seriously y'all, 

I do feel like I'm "Winning"  

because I find the coolest stuff evaaaa.

I'm the ultimate crafter, so when I stumble upon other crafters that are just as crazy about crafting as me and I get to see their brilliant ideas, well, you know my heart sorta skips. a. beat. 

I get super-duper excited.

Like the super-duper excited kid in the candy store

that has the mad ADHD jumpin' around...

Yep, that's me.

Here are some of my neat finds that I will be making very, very soon!

Rock mat (rocks from $1 store)

 

 

Sea-glass windchime

Monster bookmarks

Fabric kites

Candles in vintage teacups

Now, can't y'all see why I'm going crazy over here?!?

Which project should I do first?

I'm overwhelmed, 

but I can't wait to get my hands busy!

[Feel free to find me on Pinterest!  

I'm cleighsad or click HERE!] 

I'd love love loveee to hear from y'all 

about your fav. things you've found on Pinterest, 

so please leave comments!

Organize!

In order for me to function on a day-to-day basis,

I must have organization in my life.

More like capsized, underlined, bolded  MUST.  

 

^ I'm totally diggin' the organization of the color.

Seriously, whenever I'm in my room and am trying to work on schoolwork or something else that just has to be done, I must have a clean and organized space in order to get anything done.  I could be in the middle of writing a paper and notice that something in my room is out of place.  And yes, I'll put my pen down mid-sentence to get off my tush and fix that out of place "thing".  I am a neat freak when it comes to stuff like that or maybe my ADD is more out of control than I thought it was (?).  

...And as y'all know, I'm a Pinterest freak, too.

(I guess I'm just a freak in general.)

Which is why I want to show you all of the 

amazing organizational finds

 that I located on the oh-so-wonderful Pinterest.

#1

You may find that, if you're a craftin' queen like me, these hanging plastic zipper bags full of your craft supplies is such a splendid and neat idea.  

#2

Or that old doors serve more than one purpose... 

#3

And that sticky notes are the bomb-diggity because a) they're pretty, b) they have the ability to organize your life and your soul, and c) they're just the bomb-diggity and there's no need for and explanation for why.  They are just are.

#4

Even something so simple as tagged boxes can

 make life so much easier. 

 

#5

  

And the magic of letter stickers...

They really can create really neat things.  

#6

Now scarves can now be displayed beautifully!

#7

   

There's no need to be tossin' old cardboard boxes.  Decorate 'em all fancily and ouila!  

It's like magic, y'all.

   

Organized Spaces...my inspiration.

Even though this shirt is not the least bit factual,

 I caught myself finding it a tad bit funny.  

Had to share.

Have a "Happy Monday"!

No class!

Thursdays are my "no class" days.

Can I get a...

Hell yeah!?!

I really like this no class Thursday thing.

I'm sure once the semester gets goin', I'll be focusing on classes on Thursday (boo), but for right now, I'm taking full advantage of my free day. 

And with help from Pinterest, I'm hoping to tackle some projects on my no class Thursdays.

So, here are my ideas...

Spray Paint Thrift Finds

I love love love love love thrifting and a cool project.  Ever since I came across this neat and eclectic idea, I'm thinkin' I'll be seeing things in a whole different light.  Seeing figurines that are hideously-colored was usually an automatic turn-off for me.  Now, after seeing this, I have realized that all these ugly things needed was a good makeover.  The good ole spray paint is just the thing that could bring it back to life. 



Push pin picture



This is too freaking cute. I can't wait to grab my shadow box that has been sitting in my closet for years now. Seriously, I have never quite figured out what to do with the darn thing, so now I know! I love the idea of using push pins, but you can even buy fabric flower stickers which come in bundles, making this project cheaper. You can even use this: COUPON

 



Heart-painted Rocks





Some people have a weird obsession with rocks.  I happen to not be one of those people.  Rocks bore me.  They are blah.  The only reason why I dig 'em maybe a teensy bit is because they are nature-y (like my made up word?).  I'm all about some color, friends.  So, when I came across this cool idea, I got super excited.  My outdoor balcony area has lots of pots and plants, and these little painted rocks would be a nice added touch to my little set up.  So, I'm thinkin' I'll be rock-collectin' in the near future. 

So, this week has been quite entertaining, as I have been getting "the DL" about rush from my baby sister.  If you've ever gone through Greek rush, then you would know that it's a tiring and stressful, but rewarding process.  After rushing for a week, my baby sister pledged the sorority Delta Gamma.  And I couldn't be more excited for her! 

Below, are some "Greek" goodies

that I discovered on Etsy. 

Thanks to all of the wonderful artists and crafters!

Greek Personalized Notecards; $12.50

Anchor Delta Gamma Necklace; $20

Delta Gamma Hand Wrapped Ring; $10

Greek Tumblers; $17

Party, party.

Now that exams are finally done for, (hurrah, hurrah)
I just want to celebrate.
If it wasn't 10 in the morning, I'd be poppin' open a Corona right about now.

Then again, it's 5:00 somewhere, right?

 I guess I'll just hold off the celebratin' 'til tonight and tomorrow night.  Yes, y'all.
I'll be doing just that.
And I sure hope that everyone will be doing this same.
Tis the season.

For those of you preparing for a holiday party, here are some adorable ideas for your lil' get-together.
Thank you, Pinterest.
