Pinterest Inspiration

Pic from here

So many awesome ideas on pinterest just sitting there on my boards. I'm finally working on one!! Still gathering the supplies right now, (with Joe's help I should add). This picture was the perfect inspiration. Unfortunately, it probably won't be done before everyone is over next week. But I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone. When we get the project done will definitely put up some pics. I can't wait for warm summer nights!
In other news, my leg pain is a tab better tonight, actually able to sit down for a bit, which is a welcome relief. Maybe that means I can get some scrapbooking in soon!!

Inspired

I found an interesting blog today while looking for tips to reduce food waste - I know, sounds boring but I'm sick of throwing away wilted, slimy bags of produce and those "science experiments" from the back of the fridge. So I'm starting a more concerted effort to use things up before they go bad. One interesting tip she had was to start a "waste list", write down everything that you throw away over the course of a month or so. Then you can edit your shopping or think of creative uses for those things before they go bad. So I'll see how that goes. The other thing I was inspired to do was "Toss 50 Things", it's based off some book. So in addition to the huge yard sale pile mountain I have in my basement, I'm going to try and find another 50 things to donate, sell, give away, etc. Maybe a few truly un-reusable things I'll actually trash. Apparently, you're only allowed to count repeat items once, i.e. 5 dead batteries only count as 1 thing. ....we'll see how it goes!
