Okay, so basically, I didn't do much of anything today except pin stuff on my boards, check my email and watch "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II".  I wore sweats all day and loved every minute. I had a few minutes of guilt about not doing something useful or catching up in my classes, but then I decided that it was just fine and enjoyed some down time.

My New Love Affair

I was on Pinterest and I found a hair tutorial that I wanted to try.  I went to the website of the person and went looking for some other tutorials (I haven't mastered ANY of the hair tutorials).  I found this AMAZING PURSE.  It is the PERFECT COLOR.  The first photo doesn't really show the color quite right, but it is a nice picture of the bag and the lovely skirt the author is wearing.  Ironically, I saw her on the People's Choice Awards the other night giving a makeover to an unknown woman.  What a strange circular set of events. Anyway, I purchased the purse knowing that if it wasn't the same color as the second picture below, I would be returning it.  

I found this purse on Keiko Lynn's website (found from a hair tutorial on Pinterest)... 

The bag is ACTUALLY THIS COLOR!!  It is the purse I have been waiting for since I was 5 or 6 years old. I am IN LOVE!! And it arrived on Thursday.  It is EXACTLY THIS COLOR!! I'm swooning a little bit.

Holiday Spirit

At work, we are having a potluck tomorrow. I normally don't partake much as I generally don't like most of the things that are brought to a potluck and I often just pick up something from the store. Yes, I'm one of "those" people - I bring chips and dip, beverages, store bought fruit/veggie trays. This year, I thought I would do something different. I'm still going to being some fruit and veggies, but I decided to make some "Muddy Buddies" as I found the recipe on Pinterest. :)  Mine isn't going to be as fancy as the presentation I found online, but they will taste good.

Here are pictures of round one:

All the fixins.

Ready for round two.

Day Online

Today was a day of updating and online work. I updated the Yahoogroup I run for interpreted theatre, I updated SignPlay.com to go with the calendar in the Yahoogroup. I updated Facebook's SignPlay.com version.  Then I looked at fun stuff on Pinterest. Now my hands hurt, so I have a feeling tomorrow will NOT be an online day.

 Sometimes, I just like to look at the eclectic images - I surprise myself sometimes...

In My Spare Time...

Okay, so this Pinterest thing is addicting. I saw some funny quotes about it, things like, "I love Pinterest because it makes me feel artistic even though I just spent 2 hours on my computer."  Aside from the giant time-suck, what I like about it is that you definitely create a sense of your personality on your boards...

Here is a screen capture of my home page...I didn't capture all the boards, but you get the idea.

My Pinterest page is here.

Anyway, this has taken up the creative energies I haven't been putting in my journals. I don't like trying to create stuff when the fan is blowing all my papers all around. When it is hot, it is definitely harder to do art.  This has been a fun substitute and I have found some good ideas out there, as well.

Saturday, Birthday, Pinterest

I was planning on doing some art journaling today but a bunch of stuff intervened so I am hoping to be able to do some tomorrow.  Had a birthday party that was decided last minute, so lots of running around to have cards and gifts ready.

Playing with Pinterest today again - I want to put a button here so you can pop over and visit stuff, but I don't think they have one, so I might have to make it. I have seen some pretty incredible photos over there. It is fascinating. I totally don't need another way to kill time on the internet, so I think I will have to make some rules for myself.

TGIF and Pinterest

I'm so glad it is Friday. I feel a little like someone beat me with a bat today, so it was a relief to come home and put my feet up for a while. I think the humidity and the weather changes this week just wreaked havoc on my system or something. I'm not quite sure exactly, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

So, Pinterest. I love the idea of sort of "bookmarking" websites and stuff you like all in one place. I tried setting up an account and got a couple of "pins" in, but then, I couldn't get the PINS part to show up on my browser again. I think my computer is too old or I have too old of an IE browser set up. I tried messing with it but I got frustrated and quit for the evening. I need another online distraction like I need a hole in the head, but I thought MAYBE, just maybe, I would do that instead of putting everything in FAVORITES and making the lists like 8,000 miles long.  I will keep you all posted. :)
