Pinterest Party

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." ~Thomas Merton

Today is my first link up ever with How Pinteresting Wedensdays!

I'm going to start off with a confession here......I'm not on Pinterest. I know, I know...shock and awe has now set in. Listen, I spend far too much time on the internet with this blog and the blogs I read and facebook and email to be adding something else to my life. I do, however, stalk my friends' Pinterest pages occasionally.

With that background, I'm happy to report that College Roomie invited me to her Pinterest Party last weekend.

What's a Pinterest Party you might ask? Well, College Roomie invited all of her Pinterest-using friends (and me) to her house with the instruction to bring a recipe that you cooked from Pinterest and to bring the supplies to make a project that you had found and wanted to do.

Here's a recap of the event.

I made mini lasagnas......and I must say, for something so easy (didn't even set off the smoke detector, which is a major accomplishment for me!), they were really good! You can get the recipe here (and it can be modified to add all sorts of cool stuff like beef or spinach or you could do alfredo instead of marinara).

For crafts, I decided to work on a perpetual calendar for one of my girl friends. This idea came from an amazing Christmas gift that I recieved this year and she got the idea from pinterest.

The other crafts were really awesome....there were dipping candles, painting bottles to become vases, wine glass charms, and even knitting boot-sock things (ask College Roomie--you know I'm not up on fashion and she didn't pin it!)
So there ya have it....this Pinterest Party thing was a lot of fun! I'd highly recommend it.
