Oh How Pinteresting!

Like most of you reading this, I have gotten really into Pinterest. For the first few months I was just in awe and didn't actually try any of my pins. But lately I have found myself trying more and more things. Here are a few of the pins I have actually done in real life!


Pretzel Cookies with Peanut butter chips and chocolate chips

These were a hit! I made these while we were watching the Academy Awards and they were yummy.



Shane LOVED this one. If you like wings, you will love this. I don't love wings and it was a bit spicy for me but it was still pretty good. We put it on Blue's Buns--the hamburger buns by Dave's Killer Bread. 5 grams of fiber and yumminess.

5 Minute Vanilla Chia Seed Fudge
I actually made these during the holidays and people loved them! No one even really knew there were healthful chia seeds in them. They mostly thought it was just a crispy fudge like a Nestle Crunch.

Directions on how to wrap a wine bottle.
I have used this twice now! I wrapped up wine using some shiny grey tissues paper and tied it with a yellow ribbon.I gave one bottle for a house warming gift and one for a birthday gift.  I wish I would have taken a picture but I forgot!

Divided hamper
 I used to hide my ugly laundry in my closet. Unfortunately, sharing a one bedroom apartment leaves no extra closet space. After searching on Pinterest for cute looking ways to store my laundry I found the perfect divided hamper. Shane and I both have one of these now and it makes our room look so much more organized!

I have done a few posts on other Pinterest inspired things, like my sock bun and my DIY Sugar Scrub Christmas gifts.What Pinterest things have you actually tried? I challenge you to actually try some of the things you pin!

I did the sock bun too! It was really fun. Especially since I have pretty short hair. I love the idea of a divided hamper! I will have to look into that.

I've seen those pretzel cookies and they look amazing. Good to know they'd be worth making. I am obsessed with Pinterest. I want to have a Pinterest party where a bunch of girls get together and spend the time making pins we saw haha.
