The "P" Word

One of my things, you know, the "P" word (PURPOSE) is to "inspire" others.

BUT but the other "P" word is PINTEREST and the inspiration that comes from that PLACE is something I can not describe.

Actually, I can use the word "Over-Stimulated" to describe myself when I am on the PINTEREST site, which usually results in  falling off my axis, losing all focus and ending up a bigger Whirling Dervish than I already am...

anyways, in my quest to only visit PINTEREST in 15 minute increments (75 times a day!, just kidding) I came across these which I instantly wanted to make, like right then because I knew I had loads of the PERFECT fabric from the napkins I made almost five years ago (can you believe it has been five years, eeek!!!) ..

anyways.....
in my PURSUIT of PRACTICING all kinds of things this year, I waited...until yesterday, which really was only two days since the day I saw them, but, I did not POUNCE on them as if I was Tigger. 

 to be continued....

12 things...

"pinned" on my real board...

 

1. A clipping from a newspaper announcing the engagement of my mom & dad.
2. Photos of my grandma & grandpa with my dad (circa 1946)
3. George Washington made by Jack in first grade.
4. Wallet sized photo of when I became Mrs. Ackerman..eek!
5. Happy boogie-board Jack
6. My Inspired name tags.(love this one the best..thanks Donna)
7. A note card Ben wrote in 2nd grade about God.  It reads "Thank you for making God disappear so he could be the one who rules to world"
8. A handmade valentine from my (8.) Valentine.
9. Christmas tree topper made by Ben from green construction paper and cotton balls in Kindergarten.
10. My favorite little jars
11. Tongue depressors + dry pasta + gold spray paint=happiness!
12. Heart shaped rock (one of many)

Okay, back to Pinterest...

Pinterest

okay...I am learning..a little fussy and hesitant because I do not know exactly what I am doing and I am confused..but I have spent the past hour (and it is only 6:40am right now) adding, no, sorry..."pinning" things to a board. 

Honestly, I would rather pin things to my board in the ol' shead-teau and tell you all about the things on it BUT I do not think you would care and there is NO ROOM for any pins....

 
so...although I hate to ask you to follow me because I am not real sure what I am doing...you can follow me ..or is it be my pin friend??...or do I just say Pin...???

Whatever it is, you can do it, be it, like it, follow it...just don't blame me if you are following me and we stumble, fall...get lost...or end up somewhere really great!

Here we go...
