Pintspiration #3

I think this is more like the 300th idea that I've found on Pinterest, but they aren't all a success. Which means, they don't get documented.

I found this idea forever ago, bought the faux leaves at Michaels in August and then never got around to it. The hubby reminded me that my favorite season was quickly passing me by and I needed to get on it. I don't think it hurt that the leaves were hanging on the closet door that contains his motorcycle helmet, thus being in his way and encouraging his encouraging behavior.

I printed out the letter in a poster format in Word in Bookman Old Style bold font. The Mr traced it on plywood and cut it out with a jig saw. I painted the backside and edges with leftover red paint and hot glued the leaves on the front. The whole project only costed about $5 for the faux leaves the rest was leftovers from other projects. I even had the ribbon in my ribbon stash.

I love how it turned out! Happy Fall! The best time of the year!

I made these forever ago, but I am currently wishing I had a whole bunch more. They are super easy and only have a few ingredients: cream cheese, vanilla and powered sugar. Whip it up and pipe it in to a hollowed out strawberry. The recipe calls for crushed graham crackers on top but I used a few cookies that we had since I just needed a few.

I loved them because I got the taste of cheesecake without the heaviness or calories of a whole piece of cheesecake. I suppose if I eat a whole plate full, I'm not saving so many calories! Try them!

I always see beautiful and fun ideas on Pinterest, but for the most part they are just ideas. I saw this cute picture idea the other day and thought it would be perfect! I not only had a bag of spare Scrabble tiles with my scrapbook things, but it is also my favorite board game of all times. I love me some Words with Friends!

And here is my version! I had to add the word family because Smith was lacking a few necessary letters.

I hung it in our bedroom with a collection of other photos. Mostly our engagement pictures and pictures of the two of us.

We still have to figure out what to do with the space in front of the windows. Until we do, it's the perfect place for our Insanity workouts. Today is a rest day, thank goodness because I'm not sure I could paint the bathroom AND work out.
