Pinterest: 4 Invitations to Give Away!!

If you are not already familiar with Pinterest, it is a website that allows you organize websites, posts or pictures visually by pinning them onto boards you create. It is an amazing way to track with things you love, share your ideas and gain inspiration for others who are doing the same.

It is completely addictive and the biggest problem with Pinterest is actually getting off it to execute some of the awesome ideas you have pinned.

There is still currently a waiting list to join, but I have 4 invitations to give away. If you are already on Pinterest, please follow me by clicking on the tab to the right.

The first 4 to comment on this post will be given invitations to join. Good Luck!!

Selvage Art

Kathleen Loomis

I haven’t  figured it out if people who make selvage items are hoarders or the ultimate planners. Accumulating all of these selvages must take a lifetime but the finished product is amazing.

Cashmends – Stella Neptune

This is so clever. Cashmends are patches make to cover those pesky holes nibbled by moths in you favorite sweater. These are so cute, holes are not necessary.

DIY Flannel Infinity Scarf

This could seriously be a picture of me in my pajamas. They are horrible yet I continue to subject my family to this sight close to every night and morning. They will be so pleased when I retire these old flannel jammies and recycle them into a new, hip scarf.
