Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I am going to share with you some of my favorite pins from my Pinterest boards over the last month. I haven’t had a lot of time to spend on Pinterest lately.

The Wonderful World of Pinterest- April 2013

Hello everyone! First of all I would like to say that my thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the tragedy in Boston. There is so much senseless hatred and violence in the world these days, it can be a bit scary. I can not even begin to tell you how much it warmed my heart to see all the kindness and help people in Boston shared to those in need on Monday. It reminded me that Americans are strong and no matter how divided we may be in our individual beliefs and ideals, we come forward and stand united and humble in times of tragedy and need.

I have been a bit busy this month and have not spent a lot of time on Pinterest. However, I have added a new board and found a bunch of new pins I am smitten with that I would love to share with you! I hope you enjoy them too!

From my new board Vintage Paint by Number LOVE:

From my board DIY Ideas I LOVE:

From my board Tattoos:

From my board Pets and Animals:

Aren’t they all just awesome! I love Pinterest! Don’t you! To see these lovely pins and lots lots more be sure to visit me on Pinterest Here. I’ll be back next month with more fabulous pins! Until then…

Happy Pinning!

I am very excited to announce that I have added a new board to my Pinterest. This is not just any board. This board is for my fellow crafters to share in with me. The new board is titled “You Made It With My So Called Crafty Life.” I can’t even begin to tell you how happy it makes me when I hear from people letting me know they have or are going to make one of my DIY’s! This blog was created as a a creative outlet, but I also strive to come up with fun, original, and a lot of times repurposed crafts for everyone to enjoy. It makes me happy, and I love to share that with you all and hope you enjoy the crafts I make as much as I do.

So, here is how my board works… If you have made a project from a tutorial on my blog and would like to share it with my Pinterest followers, follow at least one of my boards on my Pinterest and leave me your name from Pinterest in the comments.

Ok, so anyone who knows me, knows that my new obsession is Pinterest! I know, I’m not alone! I love all the amazing things you can find all in one space, it’s so great.
