A Pinterest Linky Party? I am so there!!

Yes, yes - it's been a couple of weeks.  I was planning on blogging tomorrow anyway.  But then I saw THIS.  A PINTEREST linky party?  I. could. die.




So the idea of the party?  Link up something you tried that was inspired by something you saw on Pinterest.  Well I'm telling you - I get all sorts of inspiration from Pinterest.  All. Day. Long.  Yeah, no problem in the inspiration department.  It's the motivation department that needs work.  You know, because a lot of hours can be spent being inspired.  Just sayin' - it takes some time.

So here's my pinterest story.  The inspiration:


So, instead of  "Liked it, Pinned it, Did it"...my story is more of a "Liked it, Pinned it, Tried it."

Yeah, this totally didn't work.  I followed the directions, sliced my pepper to the correct thickness per the instructions - cracked my eggs into the peppers.  And instead of these tidy, flower-like eggs in peppers, my result was more like, peppers in eggs.  The whites totally did not stay contained within the pepper rings.  They ran all over the bottom of the pan, and the result was just some pepper rings sitting in my pan of fried eggs.

I bet you didn't think I would be linking up a Pinterest fail,  did ya?

Hey - just keepin' it real.  So, I don't know if it's just me, I mean SOMEBODY must have done them right to have them posted to Pinterest, right?  So what do y'all think I did wrong?

i have done this...the first time i tried it was a FAIL but the second egg worked. the difference was getting a good sticky sear on the pepper before adding the egg. the pepper was a little charred by the time the egg was done but i think it added to the flavor and i just served it cute side up.

i totally forgot about this delightful way to serve eggs...i am going to do it again soon!!

Super cute idea! Sadly, I have no advice for you. I'm with you on the "great inspiration" though. My problem is lack of time!

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t...
