The Challenge

So here's the deal.  I like being crafty+cooking, etc + Pinterest is fun to look at.  Lots of people try to make ways to live more in the present so why not try Pinterest.  To stop saying I want to try or do.... and start doing it.

In the course of my school procrastination, Pinterest has become a favorite outlet.  I have tried various ideas on it with various levels of success (dutch oven bread>not so much vs. toffee bars=rave reviews).  In the spirit that I am a single girl living in a studio apartment, a lot of the things on it don't make any sense for me but are fun to consider and dream about for one day.  Plus I may have started one too many sentences with "I saw this on Pinterest....."

It's early May, and it's officially the start of my summer.  School is out for nearly four months.  I will still be working on various school and consulting type gigs but I need a little more creative in my life so am starting this challenge to try at least one new thing from Pinterest each week.  I'll try to mix it up but there will be no major renovations or even grand makeovers (think small space and smaller budget).  But perhaps I'll get a crockpot, try my hand at spray painting something, indulge some new recipes and have a little fun.  And perhaps this will continue past summer because a little creative in life is never a bad thing.

Suggestions are most welcome and if nothing else, I will satisfy at least one of my sister's suggestions at things I should start (a blog) in her list of living vicariously through me (still to be tried: starting a food truck, starting a sewing business....)

And a disclaimer: I have no idea about copyright of Pinterest so no harm was intended in the use of their name.  I'm not sure this disclaimer helps things if it becomes an issue but thought it couldn't hurt either.
