I came up with the idea to host a Pinterest Party... in hopes that it would help us to actually MAKE some of the (many!) things we Pin! I had the hardest time picking... there are just Oh So Many ideas!!!
However, I was having a hard time getting guests to RSVP... you know, people are busy... and really - most Pinners just Pin... they don't MAKE?! But I decided to go ahead with it anyway and open my home and get supplies to make a couple of recipes, AND for us all to make a craft or two!
I invited the guests to pick something to either bring to make with us, or to make to share and bring the recipe! I was aiming for 8... so far, I have 6 for sure! Either way - we will have a great time!
I also got some GREAT advice after my last post... it was more like encouragement, really! My brother Robert is a fellow photographer and he encouraged me to get my camera out and simply take a few snapshots. Food... whatever... it doesn't HAVE to require driving somewhere and planning an entire shoot! So - with that in mind, here is what I have been up to this week:
Crockpot Curry Chicken - OH MY! I got this recipe off of Facebook from my cousin and I am so glad I did! It was DELISH! Definitely will be making this one again!
Surprise! That's my OneWord and look what I got? Happy Mail! My OneWord necklace, and an unexpected book in the mail from a cyber friend... she asked if I had read this yet and I had said amazingly not yet - so she mailed me her own copy! Now that is (Crazy) love!
This is a close up of my necklace... it features my OneWord "surprise"... plus my name, OneWord, and 365!
LOVE it!!!
This is my first attempt... my next one will be a bit more focused on wrapping that wire neatly... but overall you get the idea! Super easy and super cute!
The infamous Sharpie Plate (Pinterest)
LOVED this... in fact, I am buying more to decorate to hand out to neighbors for Valentine's Day. I actually bought MUGS for the party though... so those should be FUN!
So - tomorrow I will make Chocolate filled Strawberries (thanks Pinterest! A twist on Chocolate Dipped Strawberries!) and some Bacon Cheesy Dip... plus whatever anyone else makes and brings and we will spend a couple of hours crafting and just having a good time!
What about you? Are you a Pinterest fan? Do you pin only - or do you actually make some things? (I have made several actually... from hairdo's to headboards, candle holders to recipes!)

Fun! My friends and I have talked about doing a Pinterest party for ages but we haven't. We definitely need to!
I have been pinning those Sharpie plates and cups myself! Have to try it soon! The pinterest party sounds so fun! I have read CrazyLove...powerful and at the same time it feels like I always knew these things - but at such a deep level I didn't have words for it...
