This is the original pin I used for my project!

It was really easy to do and I actually showed several of my co-workers how to do it!  I've gotten a couple of texts showing me their braided scarves!

The original pin from this amazing blog

The other night at work, we just happened to have a very s.l.o.w. night and there were a lot of breaks and talking about Pinterest. One of the girls had just made this lotion and shared it with all of us. We were all passing it around and using it on our legs. They were so amazingly soft and shiny I just knew I had to make some too!!  

This is what I used

16oz Baby lotion

8oz Vitamin E cream

8oz Coconut Oil

Cute jars to put it in 

I made it just like a cake!  Put all the ingredients in a bowl, mix and spoon into jars.

The coconut oil should not be melted or it will separate out of the lotion when it hardens.  So, the lotion will have small bits of the coconut oil throughout, just massage it in! 



Cute jar, bad picture

I read somewhere on a blog or pinterest about painting a box white and using it to take your pictures...I think I also need natural light and a tutorial on how to use my camera!!  The darn flash, I can never get it right.  It's either too bright or not bright enough, very seldom do I get the right in between!

 

Lindsay...I know you're reading this...did you link-up??  If not, GO DO IT NOW!!!

for Saw it, Pinned it, Did it

 

I got my idea from this pin

 

 

I'm not sure what I will use this money on at the end of the year, but I've got lots of fun ideas floating around in my head.  #vacation #bigtv #Christmasgifts #cruise

Since I started late, I caught myself up by putting the money in for each week that has already passed this year.  That brings my total up to $21.00

In the link, you are able to print off the paper that tells you how much to put in each week, but it's pretty self explanatory.  $1 for each week of the year.  $1 for week 1, $2 for week 2, $52 for week 52!  Get it??

My jar!!  Gonna be full of money by the end of 2013!!

This is my pin I planned to make...

Dollar Tree Make-Up Storage

 

I plan on using it for a jewelry stand!!

I bought 3 trays and 2 candle sticks at the Dollar Tree

1st, I hot glued one candle stick to the bottom tray

I then glued the next tray to the top of the candle stick and glued the second candle stick on that tray.

I was planning on using this in the bathroom first and was going to paint the candle sticks and mod podge scrapbook paper on the trays.  When I decided to use it for jewelry I thought leaving it plain would be better!

Saw it, Pinned it, Did it

Edited:  I thought this was going to post on Thursday and it didn't...WOOPS!

This is my "Saw it"

So I "pinned it"

 and then I "did it"!

 

I followed the instructions from my pinterest pin so just click on the link above the first picture!!  This was super easy and was a big hit!!

 

 

 

 

Saw it, Pinned it, Did it {Week 4}

 

Today I'm linking up with Stephanie & Katie for

For this weeks project, I wanted to do something Christmas.  I haven't been able to find a Christmas tree skirt that would match my decorations so I thought I could just make one.  I had seen these ruffle skirts and wanted to do something like it.  I went to Hobby Lobby and the rolls of deco mesh ribbon were 50% off and I just couldn't pass that stuff up!

Source:  Prudentbaby.com

So I ended up doing a little something different....

I started with a $5 red tree skirt from Target

I bought 3 different colors of the 21inch deco mesh rolls

I started with the green and would bunch some and safety pin it to the skirt and I did this all the way around with the green.

Then I did the pink roll the same way.

And then I finished with the red.

I think it looks way better in person than in the pictures and I can't wait to see it around my tree!!!

 

Thanks for the link-up girls!!!

This has been my favorite project yet!!!

Saw it, Pinned it, Did it {Week 3}

 

Wow!!  I am really late posting this tonight but I've had a busy week!

I'm linking up with Stephanie and Katie this week for

Saw it, Pinned it, Did it!!

I ended up making a wreath similar to this one

My original plan was to make one like this one below

Both from Pinterest, click on the pictures above to take you to the original post.

 

Here is my actual wreath.  It's a iPhone picture...like I said I was busy this week!

I'm happy with the way it turned out.  Nothing is actually glued on so I'm thinking of maybe hanging the K in the middle of the wreath.  I'll have to get some pretty burlap or something to hang it from.
