DIY Padawan?

I take the (more than) occasional trip to the one and only

pinterest

You know it and love it, just like me.

And if you don't know it yet, you will love it.

There are many benefits to "pinteresting"
1. Makes online hoarding doable, acceptable and even somewhat cool
2. Gives you plenty of yummy recipes
3. Makes you feel capable of being crafty


I have been feeling in a "fallish" mood and stumbled upon this little, fun pretty

I was determined to actually do a DIY project so off I went to hobby lobby to get the goods.

half wrapped "D" and my photo of inspiration

After lots of hot glue gun burns and some frustration, here is what I ended with

I have yet to decide if it is too many patterns all at once. 
It's funny how you second guess EVERYTHING when you decide to put it on the internet.

But for now, it's on my door :)


Honestly though, too many hot glue gun burns to not hang it somewhere.

Challenge Day 6

Low Angle

I have gotten several compliments about my writing.

However. None about my photography.

One. Maybe.

Do I take that as a hint?

I can't decide.

I'll just move past that tid bit of information.

Either way you are stuck with me and my photos for 24 more days.

Bummer for you

:)

Here is our cactus. That's correct.

He is ours (or our neighborhoods. same difference) 

And he has a name. 

Frank. 

I have admired Frank since we moved in almost a year ago

(say what?? Homeowners for almost a year?)

One of the first things I did when I got my big girl camera was run outside to get a picture of him. 

He most definitely deserves a spot in the actual challenge.

Now that I look at it, I think it is blurry. Oops?

(man, this was supposed to be a good one!)

Here is Frank's runner up photo

Here are a few other photos from our walk tonight..

For all you Phoenix naysayers: there is some green here!

Wrigley: attempting to get farther away from us at all times.

Also, have you heard of pinterest? I have decided it is the internet version of hoarding. 

And I absolutely love it.

(I actually pinned something as I tested the link for this page.)

Can you say a.d.d.i.c.t.i.n.g.?

Oh. and 9 followers now??
Holler.
