Because You Just Have To Laugh.

I had all great intentions of posting some sort of DIY project today.  I have the ideas, supplies and even have some pictures taken.   But it just wound up being a bad day for me.

I've been so sick for the last few weeks.  First, I was fighting a nasty sinus infection/bronchitis and then this weekend I caught a horrible stomach bug from my 3 year old grandson Tyler.  It.Was.Not.Fun.
Even though I'm finally feeling better physically, I'm still pretty worn out mentally.    Every little (and not-so-little) thing set me off today!   Finally, I had to get out of the house and get some air.

So, instead of not posting anything at all and staying pissy for the rest of the night,  I figured I would make myself laugh and try to get out of my funk.     The first place I go for a laugh is my Pinterest board "Just Cuz I Love It."  It's where I pin funny photos, sayings, ecards and anything that gives me a good chuckle.  
And then I saw it, this photo....

 
On Pinterest this photo brings you to a post on HaHasForHooHas.com titled "The Fart That (Almost) Altered My Destiny"   My friend Cheryl  had sent me the link to this post a while ago and said it was the funniest thing EVER and that I had to go read it.  Hey, it's got the word FART in the title, it's gotta be funny right?    OMG funny doesn't even describe it.  Hilarious doesn't even give it justice.  
I would like to give props to Anna for a very very well written post!  It won't only make you laugh, it will make you laugh so hard you'll cry.  (and maybe even pee your pants a little too)
Honestly, it took me a good 20 minutes to get through the whole thing.  But you've got to go read it for yourself.   That is, only if you are not offended by bodily functions.   My advise before clicking the link is that you make sure you have time set aside and that you've gone to the bathroom.     

Enjoy!  

Making Fabric and Cork Mousepads

Original Pin from ModernDayMoms.com

It's a good ol' Pinterest inspired project again.  I love me my Pinterest!

I've had this pinned on my DIY Inspiration board for a while now.  I really pinned because I liked the shape of it.  I actually don't even use a mousepad.

Today I'm going to lunch with my girlfriends to celebrate my birthday.   I always like to bring them a little something when we get together.  It's just what I do.
I knew they would love these mousepads and I knew they would be easy to make quickly!

I had everything already except the fabric, so I ran to Walmart to grab some.

Mousepad Prep

First I cut the cork into my shape using an X-Acto knife.  Then cut the fabric to the same shape just a little smaller (shrunk the template I used for the cork on my printer)  I used adhesive spray to glue the fabric to cork.   That's it, DONE!  It's as easy as that!

That's Pinspiring

I get a ton of inspiration from Pinterest.

I get a ton of laughs from Pinterest.

Do I even dare to say I get some recipes from Pinterest.  If you know me, you know I'm not a whiz in the kitchen.  I like to keep everything simple!  If I click on a recipe and it has more then 4 or 5 main ingredients, I'm outta there.  And if there is flour, baking soda or baking powder in it, you've lost me completely!

So I was thinking I'm going to start a series of blog posts focusing on Pinterest Pins that have inspired me in some way.
They won't all be projects or crafts.  Although, I do have several of those that I've already completed and even more that are on my "to do list" that I really want to share with all of you.

It will just be me sharing with you anything and everything that I come across on Pinterest that I love. 


This series will be every Friday, starting this Friday May 25th.  So I hope you'll come back and check it out.


Do you use Pinterest?  Do you have any pins that inspired you or that "Pinspiring?"

Hi My Name Is Tina..& I'm An Addict

Can I tell you, I am LOVING Pinterest. If you haven't checked it out yet, what the heck are you waiting for?

I've been trying to think of a way to explain exactly what Pinterest is and how it works. I just am not very good at explaining things, especially in writing.

I know, I write a blog and can't write? Believe me, I'm in no-way-shape-or-form a "writer" (as I'm sure it's perfectly clear by posts) Anywhoo... here are some cute little "sayings" that I found on Pinterest, explaining Pinterest.
