Life seems to constantly be filled with Pinterest ideas.
Ideas for moving, ideas for cooking, ideas for clothing, ideas, ideas, ideas.
And I'm loving it.
I don't have that many original ideas but I'm awesome at copying other people's ideas. So this is perfect. Now I can copy them from people I don't know, instead of people that I do know.
I have discovered the Crock Pot. Specifically a Crock Pot with timer.
Last week I attempted Tomato Soup. It was awesome to come home to cooked food! Just blend and serve. It was decent.
But on Monday I made something worth writing home about. I mean. It was good. So good.
I found these taco's on a blog I read, and I pinned it for later use.
And then I made it. And man. It was good!
The only thing I did differently than the recipe suggested was due to the fact that I didn't have Santa Fe Cream Cheese Cooking Cream. So I used Cream Cheese blocks and taco seasoning. Worked perfectly.
You should make these.
Speaking of making (nice segway, right?), I made some cool cups this week. I'd seen these cups on Pinterest ages ago and pinned them. I knew I'd never buy them since they were expensive but I thought I could maybe recreate them.
Then I saw a tutorial and I was sold! I needed a gift idea for Christmas and found some white mugs with a bunch of super fun christmas drinks in them. So I bought the packages prepared to decorate the mugs.
Before...
And after!
I love them.
Now I know they aren't as cute as the gold mugs I'd first pinned, and I'm thinking I'll need to invest in some Acrylic/Ceramic paint to replicate them properly, but for a quick and easy first try, I'm pleased.
Pinterest also tells me how to dress. And one thing it kept suggesting I do is to add more Leopard print. It didn't have to tell me twice, I love animal print.
But I kept seeing it on the internets as a scarf or belt or flats. I only have animal print as shirts - one t shirt from Zellers and one tank top from superstore (actually a pajama top but no one has ever noticed!) I decided though that it was time to pull my animal print out again...and then I saw something @ Pinterest Made Me Do It that fit the bill.
And after all that I ended up wearing my other animal print top on Sunday in a very similar outfit. I was loving the prints!
Speaking of outfits, Tuesday at lifegroup Jodi and I were kind of like twins.
After looking at the picture above I was feeling sad about how casual my Chambray shirt was, and wishing it had a bit more starch and flare to it. Then (in my daily blog reading) I came across this post by Cori @ La vie petite.
I realized the Chambray shirt at Old Navy that she was talking about what one I already owned in grey and loved. And when I went to Old Navy.ca they were having a sale, so I printed out a coupon and headed over after work to pick up the shirt. I love it.
While I was at the store I saw this and remembered that not only was polka dot chambray on trend currently, but also many of my favorite fashion bloggers were sporting it.
Here is how I wore my new Polka Dot Chambray shirt.
And I love it.
And there you have it...a glimpse into the world of someone with no imagination of their own
