Shopping List for PinParty

Here is what we will need for the 3 planned Pins:


1 bar of soap (any kind you want)
1 cup of Borax
1 cup of washing soda
a big pot ( that holds more than 2 gallons)
a grater
a funnel
a long spoon
2 empty gallon jugs/containers


You will need scissors, 
a nail polish color pale, 
with a varnish base 
newspaper, 
alcohol (like Vodka or other)
and a top coat.


baking soda 
orange essential oil
adding Borax to kill any potential itty bitty bugs in carpet! EW.
(optional nutmeg or ground clove)
**I didn't realize this one is so simple, that we might look for a bonus pin...??)

Unveiling and date set...

I can't believe how fast the last week has gone! I wonder if you have been as busy as I am... ??

I didn't get any votes of items for our PinParty by email, facebook or text or even smoke signals... :(

SO! I guess I win. What's the name of this game? I win! (Quote from movie: Big Daddy!)

This Saturday, July 21st I will be doing or probably better said attempting the following Pins:

 

This make your own laundry detergent is from whynotsew.blogspot.com. 

Good timing too! Cuz I'm already out! 

This make your own carpet powder is from mrshappyhomemaker.com.

Funny I happen to me almost out of this also, I'm curious to see how David will like this verses the brand that we use currently.

This words manicure is from passionnailart.com.

I'm excited but really nervous that this may not turn out as photographed. 

(crossing fingers) 

The Pin is from the Challenge #1: "Challenge #1: let's go ORIGINALLY pin something that makes us smile! :) Post it in your PinParty Board, tell us what it is and note is as Challenge #1." 

Yes, David bought me birthday flowers and they made me smile - still doing pretty good after a week. 

Email me, Facebook me, Twitter me, text me, call me.... if you are interested in participating either in person or online with this PinParty Saturday. :) (if you are close enough, lets do breakfast too!)

Welcome to PinParty! Challenge and Planning

O.K big wild wide world. I've been thinking about this for a long while now... and now it's time to make it happen. :) Have you heard about Pintrest.com? If not - comment and I will send you an invite to the coolest online bulletin board! If you are already on pintrest - please follow me so I can see what you are "up" to. :)


If you are anything like me you love to "pin" and if you are half as busy with life as I am, you don't have any time to "work" these pins. :( I know, it makes me so sad too! 

So to help you get some pin time, I am claiming the name and going to throw a PinParty!
Wanna be invited (in person or online)?
Rule #1 - you must have a pintrest.com account, and follow me (and of course I'll follow you back).
Rule #2 - you must want to set some fun time aside.
Rule #3 - you must comment and post, so I know you are there and I'm not just talking to myself in this big pinning world!!!
Rule #4 - you may not be perfect in any way, all perfect people need not apply
Rule #5 - you must be fun and willing to try something new
Rule #6 - this seems like an awful lot of rules, doesn't it ? :)
Rule #7 - but hopefully, you get the jist of whom I'm trying to connect with.


Ok, I'm straying... Purpose. Check. Rules. Check.

R U excited? Can you handle it?  :) I know me neither! So, let's review our pintrest accounts this weekend and pull out three ideas/recipes/challenges/crafts/household organization things that we have really, really, really wanted to do like yesterday! and then we can decide what we should begin with to party with. In order to "vote" - email/comment/post a link to your new board called "PinParty"  to me so we can get all the votes in and do these together. RE-pin your idea to the new board "PinParty". Please label what it is you are pinning and why you want to do this idea. This process is pretty organic and will likely adjust as we move on. :) Check mine out here:  http://pinterest.com/prettyeberhard/pinparty/

Excitement? Check!
