New Year, First Challenge

January 1, 2012

Y’all, Happy New Year.

Starting the year off on a good foot, I signed up to join a Pinterest Partayy, spearheaded by whatthegraham.com.

It's a partayyy!

Here’s the deal:

1. You’ll make a project based on something that inspired you on Pinterest and write about it on your blog.
2. You’ll come back here the week of January 15th.
3. You’ll link your project to our handy little list. And see other people’s projects. And bask in Pinterest-partayy-lovin’ overload while you unknowingly finish the rest of your Christmas cookies.

I’ll be doing a little somethin’-somethin’ from my own pinterest boards. Home decorish. With a burst of flair. Haven’t chosen what yet. You’ll have to check back on the 15th to see what I’ve concocted, but be prepared with your own project by that date too – we’ll all be waiting on our tippy toes to see what you came up with.

Until then… familiarize yourself with the other bloggers who will be hosting their own link pages, and craft your little heart out: What The Graham, Hernando House, The Stucco Bungalow, Design Build Love, Mrs. Priss, Baby Gator’s Den

    Can’t believe I ever bought dumpling wrappers. 🥟 Pulse a few cups of flour in the food processor drizzling in cold water until it forms dough. Roll smooth. Use a conveniently large cookie cutter, or just trim out squares. The end ❤️ #hny #dumplings
