I agree... I love seeing how her things turn out

Our crazy, wonderful life
I've used a lot recipes that I've found on pinterest and so far all of them have been delish.

Thanks Tiff! You beat me to it:)
On that note, thanks for sharing your Pinterest to Reality, Amy! I have really been enjoying:)
We had a pinterest craft night a month or so ago and I made:
These flowers that we put onto a dry erase board
This picture board
This monogram front door hanger
A burlap wreath
and photo coasters
All were very easy, and cheap! We each chose a craft and brought enough supplies for everyone else so we got to leave with 5 different pinterest inspired crafts.
Sadly, I'm a slacker and have no photos to share. 
Our crazy, wonderful life
I've created lots of things that I've seen on Pinterest but I don't think I have pics of many of them. I was thinking of doing a weekly blog post about things that I've made from Pinterest.
Here's one thing that I do have a pic of
colored rice
I've made several recipes but so far everything has just been ok, I haven't tried any new recipes that I love.
I'm still working on the baby's nursery so when that's done I'll share pics, lots of it has been inspired by Pinterest.

My Blog of Randomness - Pocketful of Roses
I made the pumpkin dump cake (that's on Amy's blog) and it was DELISH!! I tried the confetti cake batter fudge. I did not like it at all...dh thought it was OK.
I have loved seeing Amy's pinterest to reality series on her blog and I think more people should do it. Haha, just not me...I'm a slacker.
Cut the Crap - Weight loss journey of a Few Fat Chicks
I've made the pumpkin hot chocolate that I pinned as well as one of the jambalaya crockpot recipes. Both were good.
Also made the dry erase calendar out of a frame with a piece of glass.
I do the workouts I've pinned and bought the entertainment center I pinned.
I didn't think I had done that much - but I guess I've done more than I thought!
I've made a lot of recipes off there. Some worked great (caramel apple cheesecake bars), some, not so much (baked wonton mozzarella sticks).
Other recipes I've pinned and tried:
Rosemary Olive Oil Bread - FANTASTIC!!!
Make and freeze cinnamon rolls - they're in the freezer, but we haven't tried them yet
Apple crisp - eh, not great, not bad
Granola - it's a good base to start from, but I add and omit according to what I like and have on hand
Nutella cookies - good, but not amazing
Baked Zucchini fries - I liked them, but H, not so much
Pepper jelly - you linked me to that recipe, mine was a bit too spicy for my taste, but H loved it
Lemon Blueberry Bread - good
Slow cooker carnitas - eh
Rainbow cake - I made it for Alex's birthday party and it was a hit
H is making the toddler bed I have pinned, so we'll see how that turns out.
I've used a lot of the beauty tutorials for makeup.
I'm using this pin for inspiration to do hooks near my entryway this weekend.
I ended up doing the naughty pumpkins for Halloween.
Food I've made:
Apple Nachos
Roasted Broccoli
Balsamic Carrots
Broiled potatoes
Crockpot BBQ Chicken
Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin
Pesto Grilled Cheese
Bacon/Chicken Kabobs
Taco Stuffed Peppers
I also make this smoothie a lot now
Geez, you can see where my priorities are when it comes to Pinterest. I hope that when we're finished with our home projects I can do more of the DIY decor items that I have pinned.

Married Bio
I've made a few different crafts and tried a few different recipes. I also tried a hair-do that turned out cute.
Oh, I also got some inspiration for maternity pics that I took of my sister. That was probably the most help to me so far. I'm really good a copying, just not coming up with my own ideas
