Pinterest girls.

Have you ever actually tried the things you like or pin on pinterest? I am finding that I just have an "ooh pretty" moment and move on with my life. 

Lame post, I know. But I really am curious.

Re: Pinterest girls.

  • I plan to! I have mason jars and stuff left from my wedding, and I have big plans for them...

    when H gets home to do it. Lol. 

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
  • Some of the recipes I have pinned we have tried, and a few of the crafts. I plan on doing a few more of the crafts here soon, when my friend N finds out if she is having a boy or a girl!

    A lot of the home stuff I pinned as ideas of what we would like to do with the yard this spring and some stuff in the house. So I really plan on trying to do the stuff!

    I can't tell you how many mason jar ideas I have fallen in love with. But I am way too lazy at the moment to do anything about it. Lol.

  • Nope, not at all.

    I just got my friend hooked on it too, and was just telling her tonight how I never actually use anything that I pin.  Even the other day when I was thinking about what I wanted to bring to a friend's for dinner, it never even dawned on me that I should look on there.

  • I do get a lot of great outfit ideas on there. So my style has gotten better since I joined. :-)

  • Oh and I did find an awesome homemade foot scrub that I tried the other night! It worked and smelled yummy!

    That is cool. I am glad that you are getting some good ideas from it. :-)

  • I made that tortellini soup you pinned last week.  It was delicious!

    I've done a lot of crafts that I found on there and I have a whole board dedicated to Sophia's 1st birthday part.

  • I've tried at least 10 recipes I've pinned on there.  I've also tried several projects including making my own laudry detergent and several home made Christmas presents.

  • I really like to pin recipes to keep for future references and have made quite a few of them. I've done a few crafts and other things, but use it mostly for recipes.

    More stuff than I care to admit. 

    My cooking has totally benefitted from my Pinterest addiction, though.  

    Exactly. I did get a great infinity scarf pattern that I am rocking in this cold weather.

  • Yes - I have done a lot of the craft projects, especially in the last few months while DH has been away. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, though.

  • I've tried most of the recipes I've pinned and I'm using almost everything on my "Baby Shower Ideas" board for my friend's baby shower next month, but that was the whole reason I created that board. I haven't pinned many clothes, but the ones I have are ideas for what to wear to some of the many weddings I'll go to this year so I probably will buy some of them. I did buy a super cute clutch that I pinned. I would have bought it right away and not bothered pinning it, but it was out of stock so I wanted to remember to check back on it. It came back in stock Monday and I bought it immediately.

  • I did a DIY dry erase board calendar and some holiday cards but that is about it. I have never even checked out the recipes.
  • I have... recipes and a few crafts.

  • I made some cookies and a few crafts. Everything has turned out well so far.

    I need to start pinning hair tutorials because I suck at doing my own hair. 

  • I haven't looked at food/recipes on pintrest at all.

    I do steal crafty/art ideas from there all the time though. My mom, sister and I are currently working on a baby mobile for SIL that we found on Pintrest.

  • I do. Mostly the recipes and makeup tricks. I also like to use the apparel board for outfit inspiration. But yup, mostly recipes :)

    Same here!  I make/use something that I've pinned several times a week.
