It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month and time for the Pinterest PinFest. With all that Pinterest has going on, I’m only including images of my own projects today. You do have permission to pin my images. I’ve decided to change the party a little. New linky party rules detailed below.
Painted Floor Mat Tutorial
My Inspiration: With a kitchen remodel nearly done, I’ve been looking for an accent rug for in front of the kitchen sink and stove area. I haven’t been able to find something I like but one I did spy several painted foam mats on Pinterest

Have you been inspired by something on Pinterest enough to give it a try or to get creative about a certain idea? The Pinterest Challenge is the perfect time to share that you’re not just pinning, but DOING! Check out the details at Ninth Street Notions.
I was so excited to be asked to participate this month! I’m honored to be the March guest pinhead. Another reason to mark something of off my DIY list, to try something I’ve been putting off. I couldn’t wait to get started. TOMORROW I’ll be sharing my Pinterest Challenge project! Stay tuned!!! It’s way better than I expected.
Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! xoxo
I live in the north, might be suffering symptoms of cabin fever, seasonal affective disorder and just lo-o-o-o-nging for sunshine and fresh air, open windows, green grass, warm temperatures and longer days but I do always remember that I am blessed and have so much to be thankful for and don’t really sink into any sort of depression, just a little case of the ‘blahs’ and discouragement. Some days, I just dream of staying snuggled all day…

I find comfort in socializing via blogging, making new friends, laughing, crying and celebrating life with good friends.

So in honor of warm fuzzy feelings {via Pinterest, of course} and reminders to embrace the change in seasons, I’m loving today. Snow and cold and all. I’m feeling blessed and warm surrounded by your friendship.

I almost completely forgot that today’s Pinterest PinFest day! I’ve been collecting and pinning recently for a project to help Mr. DIY organize his hobby mess. Here is what’s inspiring us:

DIY Shelving
Hi DIY friends! Having a productive weekend?
I’m far from a professional photographer. However, I do take pictures for my family. And friends. And sometimes friends of family and friends. {And of lots of DIY projects too!} Plus my girls and I love fun photo shoots just for fun as well. My camera sees a LOT of action. So I was thrilled to get this lighting kit and backdrop for Christmas because I was a good girl this year. 😉
But honestly, being my thrifty DIY self, if I hadn’t have gotten the above kit, I definitely, would have been making a DIY PVC pipe version like the tutorial shown here. You know what else I’ve considered using? A clothes rack (simple to assemble/store and a nice smaller portable version – you might even have one ‘hanging around’ in the closet or basement!)…
Recently I saw this on on Pinterest by Kim from Easy Peasy Pie…
and I was inspired! Who wants a plain white or black backdrop when you can have a pretty designer custom looking background? Kim uses a beautiful Target tablecloth. Use curtain panels, twin flats sheets – vintage from the thrift shop would be awesome and affordable and both of those options have rod pockets. Or choose a pretty fabric. I purchased 2.5 yards of the fabric below from Joann’s.
