I Love Pinterest

I've often said I'm not the most creative or good at coming up with my own ideas- but I can copy! For so long I avoided getting interest, but I LOVE IT! It has been so helpful in finding fun crafts to do with Aubri, easy recipes, design ideas.
Here are a few samples of what I've found and loved. Follow me to see more http://pinterest.com/marlenemichelle/


Acorn cookies Aubri helped me make these when she was 1! Cute and simple, and perfect for fall.

strawberry margarita pie  Refreshing, easy, perfect for summer!

COOKIE BALLS!!! Jose's favorite cookies, so easy to make, and healthy! We make these about once a week!











Spaghetti with Kale and Bacon. Easy, and the hubby LOVED it.



















Quinoa Primavera Healthy, easy, and tasty!















I love finding cute ideas for holidays.
For Memorial Day we made flag fruit kabobs, and a red white and blue trifle.

Easter we made colored deviled eggs

We've also had our fun making crafts!

Instead of plain old cash in a card, I wanted to get creative for Graduation presents.
I stole the Tissue Box idea and made my own. The box says "Don't blow it all in one place" and $50 was rolled up inside. It was a hit!
 I also made the In Case of Emergency Break Glass, but didn't get a good picture. Money was inside the frame. And finally (yes three graduations!!) I attached a Starbucks card to some cutely wrapped candy bars. I had a little poem using the candy bar names (you Smartie...on your way to a 100 Grand Pay Day...) but of course forgot a picture of that too!

For Fathers Day, I helped my niece make her dad a "I'm NUTS for you craft". I think hers came out better than what we copied!

 And I found a creative way to give Jose his gift.

Free printables are great too! I love this Tie Banner we found. My printer ran out of red ink, but I actually preferred the blue it printed in!













There's  sooo much more we've done and have yet to do!
