Project Pinterest: Paint Sample Gift

Welcome back to Project Pinterest!

My husband's birthday was on Halloween. Since we have basically been a one income family for ten years now, we rarely exchange gifts (hey, you gotta cut corners somewhere) but always do something homemade-y for each other. This year I got to use an idea from Pinterest! Have I mentioned my affinity for that site?

Paint sample and I have always been best friends, as long as I can remember. Going to a hardware store and looking and actually getting to keep the paint samples was like Christmas morning to me.

I grabbed some cool toned paint samples from my stash. Then I used Word to create a title and type all of my pages.

I glued two paint samples back to back and then glued the text on each side.

Then I hole punched the tops, attached them with a ring binder thingy and my project was complete!

Here are the guidelines for Project Pinterest:

1. Decide which pin on Pinterest you’d like to recreate.

2. Create it!

3. Flop or success, create a blog post about your re-do and include the original pin’s url.

4. Add the Project Pinterest button to your post so others can join in too!

5. Link up and check out other bloggers’ posts!

Me and My Blog

I started blogging a few years ago because I had to find something on the computer to occupy my time instead playing Farmville for hours at a time. Since then, I’ve come to really like blogging and reading others’ blogs. I’ve found a love of photography and a place to store some of our families memories and photos.

Thanks goes out to Charlie for taking this picture of me and my blog.

Also linking up at these wordless/wordful Wednesday linkys too.

Funk and Funky Rug

I'm just in a funk. It's the almost-birthday funk that I get in each year. There's something about looking back on another year and looking forward to another year that stirs my insides.

I don't think I'm where I want to be in life, but then again, I really don't know where I would be when I was this age. Sometimes I feel like I'm too young to feel this old. Sometimes I feel like I'm no where near mature enough to be an adult, much less a someone who is closer to 40 than 30. Wishy-washy is how I feel. Yeah, wishy-washy.

On a totally unrelated note, here is my most recent rug adventure.

Have a wonderful weekend ya'll!
