Have you seen the many pins out there where you glue a candlestick to a plate, coffee can, mason jar…….This is one of those!

I was inspired by 2 different pins for this one:

This is what I did:

Then I used some spray paint to make it all one color.

My “Hair Drawer” looks SOOOO much better now!

It’s been one of those days where you go and go and go…before you know it, it’s 5PM.

So I’ll make this short and sweet!

I found these cute little metal bowls at the thrift store and knew I had to do something with them. ($0.99 each!)

Recently I did one of those projects where you glue a candlestick to something else and it turns into awesomeness (post for tomorrow), and that got me thinkin….

Turn the bowl slowly and tap the edges to get a drip effect.

Let the paint dry and glue one on top of the other!

Fill and ENJOY!

**If you’re keeping track, the last 2 projects costs me a whopping $4 all together!**

You may have seen a few pins here or there on using a tea light holder and mason jar in the bathroom. Like this:

So while browsing the craft store, I got an idea to use the same technique for a cute little decor piece.

Each candle holder costs $0.99 so this is a steal!

You could do this with sand and seashells, rocks, or whatever matches your decor!

Or should I say 1/2 for the road?! LM is going to be 6 months old tomorrow! A whole half a year old…wow…

Kinda makes this mama wanna cry! But happy tears because my baby boy is growing, happy, and healthy!

So in honor of G-Man turning this wonderful age, I wanted to make him a special onesie. LUCKILY I had a Pinterest project that was just right for it! (of course!)

This is the original pin from Calico Skies:

Then here’s my attempt:

I outlined the design to make it look a little less messy.

This was not the easiest/most successful project that I have come across but I definitely want to try it again. I think I just need to use some more Modge Podge and let it fully dry. I’m just TOO IMPATIENT!

But I think this is cute enough to get messy for our little celebration on Sunday! (Stay tuned for pics!)

As today is my last day for all things “pinspiring”, I thought I’d share with you some of my favorites, disasters, and the occasional “huh?”. (You’ll see what I mean later.)

So first, some favorites.

THE GOOD

These are some of the pins that I’ve tried but didn’t take pictures. For the most part, these are tutorials that I really like and if I took up a whole post to show you, I wouldn’t be bringing anything new to the table.

(Click the pic for the link!)

THE BAD

Now for a couple of disasters….

Suppose to look like this:

Turned out like this:

(Still not sure why this didn’t work out…any insight is appreciated!)

Suppose to look like this:

Turned out like this:

You can see that post from this week HERE.

THE UGLY

…..and this….

Then they are wrapped in crescent rolls and baked.

They taste amazing…but the marshmallows were suppose to disappear. They are CLEARLY still there…????

Oh Pinterest…I just can’t quit you!

My “PINSPIRED” Week — Egg McYummy

I have to say that I love Egg McMuffins so, when I saw this pin, I could tell it had “ME” written all over it! This was very simple to make and now we have a quick breakfast for a few days!

Here’s the original from The Yummy Life.

My turn!

Preheat to 350° and bake the eggs for 25-30 mins.

I broke the yolks, as suggested in the original post since I’m not the biggest fan of yolk.

But if you are, leave the yolks intact!

I used ham on mine…but I really wanted Canadian Bacon.

*Confession* I have NO IDEA where Canadian bacon is in any grocery store! I COULD NOT find it…can anyone help me!?

McYummys ASSEMBLE!

Freeze extra sandwiches in butcher or wax paper for microwaving later.

THE NEXT DAY…Microwave about 1.5 minutes.

These are pretty bomb-diggity!

**Just beware…the kitchen STINKS for awhile!**

My “PINSPIRED” Week — Easy DIY Lip Gloss

Total cost for this project?

$1.47!

That’s right! All I had to buy was a tiny jar of Vaseline. This DIY seriously lives up to it’s claim to be the “easiest DIY lip gloss”. I can’t say that I’ve tried any other ways, but I can’t see how anything could be easier.

Here’s the original pin from Wonder Forest.

Now it’s my turn!

First, I cleaned out an old lip balm container.

I didn’t have any powered eyeshadow but I did have some colors that I didn’t use in my shadow palette. So I thought I’d just try to crush it up…IT WORKED!

A clean butter knife works just fine to mix in the shadow.

I placed a round sticker I had in my scrapbooking supplies and now I have super cheap and moisturizing lip gloss!

Not even kidding…that’s it! It’s that easy/AWESOME!

I’m loving this headband! It looks so much more complicated than it really is.

I think the whole project, including time spent going back and forth from the computer to make sure I was doing it right, took about 30 min.

Unfortunately, my original pin does not have a link back to an actual website so I won’t be siting it here. But I did some research and found these!

Here’s THE T-SHIRT HEADBAND. And THE KNOT.

And now…here’s mine!

I cut out part of the collar for this part. It’s thicker fabric so it’s perfect!

VOILA!

My “PINSPIRED” Week — Pancake Cups

GOOD MORNING!

I wasn’t really sure what to call these, so I went with the obvious. They’re pancakes, that look like cups…Pancake Cups!

I have to say that I was a little skeptical. I didn’t think mine were going to turn out the same as the picture since I used Bisquick in stead of the actual recipe…we’ll see…

Here’s the original pin from Real Mom Kitchen.

Now here’s how I did!

I used the recipe on the back of the Bisquick box. I went this route because I already had B-quick in my pantry! So my recipe looked like this…

INGREDIENTS:

2 Cups B-quick

1 cup milk

2 eggs

1/4 tsp vanilla ext.

Preheat oven to 400°

Pour batter into a greased muffin pan. Only fill 1/2 the cups to allow the batter to create the crater. Bake for 15 minutes or until tops turn golden.
