November 9th PINTEREST PARTY details
Who isn't obsessed with Pinterest!? Even my husband has an account! But lets be honest- how many things have you pinned and thought "One day I'd like to make that!" and never have time? My answer is "Daily." Yep! Daily! So... we decided to have a Pinterest Party! This will give us all time and an excuse to do what we have been longing to do.
Here is how it works:
We have an open house in Bountiful (If you RSVP I will let you know where to go- I really don't like posting where we are all gathering on such a public forum.) We will be meeting around lunch and finishing when we finish- probably around or after dinner time. We will have food for all hours (see below about food)
Step by step:
You log on to Pinterest. You shop boards for things you love! (If you want on my board to share just ask and I will add you)
You pick a food dish that you'd like to try to make (Or you have already made, but found the recipe on Pinterest)
You make your dish (or drink) to pass at the party. (Plan on sharing with about 10 ladies)
You pick a craft you want to do. (I will post some inspiration below)
You bring your supplies to complete your craft.
You walk in with your dish, craft supplies and a few hours to hang out.
You eat and create!
Sound like something you want to do? See below about RSVPing
What will already be there:
We will be providing some basic supplies like hot glue, but since the list of idea is endless make sure you grab what you need or contact me if you think your supply is a basic and I will let you know if it's already covered. If you have some basics, like craft paper or beads, or maybe a bag of sugar or flour, and would like to share please let me know so I can pass along the information to others who may need your supply. Think outside the box too- like do you have a Cricut machine or paint brushes? How about a those picture frames and old Tshirts you were going to donate?
*** I have packed all of my things to share. I have a bunch of scrapbook paper, ribbon, stickers, scissors, glue dots, fabric, sewing machine and accessories. I have a few random things like mirrors and tiny metal letters and paint. That's all I can remember but I have 3 large boxes of stuff you can pick through.
BONUS!
I will be providing a free craft if you RSVP by November 7th (I can't buy your supplies if I don't know you are coming) It'll be a cute one that is easy to create so don't stress! Free craft means you don't have to bring something other than a dish/drink to pass! Unless you are as excited as me and want to do both crafts!
Here are some ideas:
I'm pretty excited for this event! It's just in time to make some Christmas gifts for neighbors and friends!
If you 'd like more ideas hop over to my Pinterest board "Pinterest Party Ideas" and check out everything I have pinned in preparation for this party. I will add you to the board if you'd like.
Want to try photography!? The location we picked has plenty of places for poses. I will even bring my camera if you ask! My sister will be there to help with tips and tricks too!
Ok so I'm not the best at sewing, but I have a sewing machine I will bring- I know the basics and I'm sure someone else there can help too!
I will probably be creating some kind of home decoration since we will be moving shortly after this party. I'm thinking of making some curtains... HMM... I'm going to have to learn! Or maybe a painting for the bathroom. Did you know my sister knows how to paint- AMAZINGLY! (She hasn't volunteered to help, but I'm sure if you asked she'd love to!)
Don't know how to cook? Want to learn- My mom is a good cook and we will have a kitchen at the location! This means you can cover two birds, one stone. Your craft is the meal you are going to share. Just make sure you have all the things you need. If you need an appliance give me a call ASAP so I don't pack what I have.
That gets me thinking... What if I want to do a meal planning idea- you know, like the month of freezer meals... I might not be doing my curtains after all.
I'm getting too excited! I think it's time to start pinning! Oh and don't forget to RSVP for the free craft!
I will see you November 9th! Then we will take a small break from seeing each other and do a photo challenge for the holidays.
Can't wait!
October Pictures:
We seriously had so much fun this month! We all decided to do this more often, so look forward to another Wood Blocking party! We actually have 2 ladies RSVP'd to the November party that are doing this as their craft! I though about it too! Christmas is coming and how cute would this be for a gift!!? I didn't take as many pictures as normal because I was busy making my HOME blocks. Thanks Patrice for hosting this! I look forward to doing it again soon! -L
