Pin Envy:
I looooooove Pinterest.
It was like somebody went inside of my mind
and said to themselves-
"this place needs some organization!"
and then bam!
Pinterest is born.
God bless Pinterest.
I don't remember what life was like before it.
On one hand I feel like I get so many more ideas,
inspiration,
and projects completed
with my pal Pinterest.
but sometimes,
sometimes,
sometimes I notice
that all I am doing is pinning
and not living.
Pinterest is great but it should be to make your actual life better-
not be your life
which for me is sometimes hard.
So to force myself to put the computer down,
unplug,
and actually get some work done
I am issuing myself a challenge.
I am calling it:
THE PIN TO WIN CHALLENGE
here is how it works:
1- Go through my pin boards and get rid of old boards that I don't need. There are a lot of them...
2- Pick out 5 pins from different boards to complete in the coming week.
3- Take pictures of said "pinsperation" projects and compare them to original pins for all you readers to feel inspired to do your own PIN TO WIN CHALLENGE!!!
Here are my five pins for this week...
{even as I tried to navigate Pinterest for this post I got sucked into mindless pinning!}
***Remember, if you pin these pictures to pin them from the source, not from 906, that way the correct person gets credit!!! Thanks!
