How Pinteresting!

Ahh I love the start of the year! Unburdened by the stress of Christmas and tummy full of yummy holiday food, I am completely ready to take 2012 by the horns!
I always get this burst of energy and need to cleanse at this time of year. I have been busy cleaning out cupboards, scrubbing and decluttering in a big way, hence the lack of blog mojo! Well that and I have discovered Pinterest....
Oh Pinterest, I love you so!!!! My poor husband has taken to hollering "I'm Pinteresting too y'know!", when I enter the zone. He has likened me to the little girl in Despicable Me, as I shriek "OMG its so AWESOME! OOOOOOOO".
It so simple. You see something cool, be it a picture or a dress or a fun craft product and "pin" it to a virtual pinboard which you share with others. Most inportantly you can also repin (or steal) other peoples ideas too. I could literally spend hours doing this. I have been "pinning" for years unconsciously. First with a scrap book which I would fill with magazine cutouts (still do). Then cut and pasting onto a Word document on the computer. Then bookmarking. But nothing has hit the spot like Pinterest!!!

So in the spirit of upcycling and creating new from old here's a few gems I discovered in the land of Pinterest....




Just add spice racks to the sides of your tallboy for extra storage!

Awesome way to hide scrappy paint. Just add contact paper or wallpaper!

This is my favourite thing by far! Re-purposed beside table into a play kitchen. AMAZING!!
