pinnable me: party glasses

Happy Friday! Can you believe I've actually posted CONTENT! besides Pinnable Me lately? I know, two posts hardly count, but it's something and I am going to go with that.

I'm only sharing ONE pin today. It's a big "one" if you will because it's something I really want to do myself. I pinned this, as did ABQ, my fabulous friend and glitter guru.
Apparently, the amazing Martha Stewart has partnered with Plaid and her incredible glitter now comes as a paint. I'm obsessed. Not only do I have 4 bottles of beautiful glitter paint on their way to my house, but this stuff can apparently be cured in the oven after you're done and the result is a dishwasher safe product that you've glitterized. Yes, MacBook, I want glitterized to be a word.

I haven't yet decided what I plan on doing myself. I need to coordinate with my Madre (hear that, mama?) and find out when we can get to IKEA for our somewhat annual Holiday excursion. Then I can pick up some white wine glasses (the only wine I drink...) and get started.

As you can see, the glitter looks amazing stippled on with a pouncer- and I have pouncers, but I'm just not sure what to do yet. I guess at $4.99/6 if I mess up on the IKEA wine glasses, I can afford more... 

Don't these just look TOO fun? Wouldn't they make an amazing Christmas gift? Yeah, maybe I'll show up on Christmas Eve to the family party with one for each of my favorite ladies. Time (and skill level) will tell...

pinnable me: full spectrum

I like to fancy myself a little bit of an artist. 

Just a little bit. 

So anything that's colorful makes me happy-- namely, rainbow colors.

Here's what's caught my eye lately:

pinnable me: all a-blaze(r)

Hey y'all.

Happy Friday!

I am desperate for fall. 

I'm lusting after a cool breeze... I'm praying for rain... 

(seriously, y'all. my poor burberry wellies haven't even seen the light of day since LAST YEAR!)

Anyway. 

I think the quintessential fall staple is a blazer. 

I've resisted the blazer till I was blue in the face, but now I own two that I wear regularly and plans to pick up another one as soon as I can find what I'm looking for.

So, today, a little BLAZER love!

Happy Friday, folks!!

I have a fun Saturday on the books for tomorrow, and because of it, I've completely lost track of what is going on with my blog. 

Which is to say, nothing. 

My mom even pointed out that I've skipped TWO Toddler Tuesdays in a row. It'll be back next week. Promise. 

Anyway.

TO TODAY'S TOPIC.

Today's post is all about Ashley.

Ashley Brooke, that is. 

Of Ashley Brooke Designs. 

She's the super-fab designer who made my blog header, and has done invitations for me, as well as oodles of beautiful stationery.

(by the way. StationEry when paper. StationAry when at a state of rest.)

Ashley also happens to be the sweetest, most wonderful, darling girl you could ever hope to meet. We met up last September when hubbers and I went to Disney World, and we've already made plans to meet up when we take Liam next year. She's that kind of awesome. 

She's the kind of awesome you WANT to plan a year in advance to see. 

I just wish there was a way Dallas, Houston and Orlando could be connected via supersonic trains in secret tunnels or something. 

Anyway, Ashley, obviously, has impeccable taste. She always looks as pretty as a picture, she's got an amazing design background and a real eye for making the ordinary extraordinary. 

I mean, her girl crush weekly blog post? My favorite part of Thursday. 

Further gushing aside, here are some of my favorite things that ABQ has pinned:

A wonderful idea for making custom pillows, at low cost. 

Dear Lillie via Ashley Brooke on Pinterest. 

Fantastic housewarming gift. Pack it full of the everyday things you always wish you had on hand.

Martha Stewart via Ashley Brooke on Pinterest. 

ABQ's dream pantry, my dream pantry. Oh the organization! The ability to hide away ugly appliances!

Houzz via Ashley Brooke on Pinterest. 

It's not Ashley Brooke if there isn't popcorn invovlved.

Bump Smitten via Ashley Brooke on Pinterest. 

Gorgeous exposed brick in a kitchen!

The Handmade Home via Ashley Brooke on Pinterest.

 See? She's got amazing style and taste. 

Here's the link up-- y'all are all SO AMAZING!

I'm glad you're all enjoying this weekly feature as much as I am. 

pinnable me: men in robes

So, this week was really hard to come up with... 

I haven't actually written a live Pinnable Me in two weeks.

And we've had a bit of drama around these parts this week. 

It's been crazy.

Anyway, I thought I'd just pin some unrelated things with a fun tie-in theme. 

ENJOY!

Are y'all Harry Potter people? Have you seen 7.2? I'll review it tomorrow, but I love this pin. It cracks me up because hoooo boy! Is it ever true? Neville was definitely awkward come films 3,4,5,6. But, all's well that ends well, and he's ended up pretty "well."

We*Heart*It via Me on Pinterest.

I pinned this from People.com because I love Alexander Skarsgard, for the most part. But also, there's just something about it I love. The cap. The gown. (The grin!) But really, aren't the colors in this lovely? That robe is gorgeous!

People via Me on Pinterest.

  I told you these were randomly related.

HOW CUTE are these little stinkers?

And yes, I mean the kids, not the spiders, which is the *reason* behind this pin. I like the balloon spiders a lot, though, but I don't know how long they'd last in my house!

SORRY for the lame post this week. 

I'll try and do better next time. 

Thanks for keeping up with Pinnable Me while I was away, it was really great to come home and see so many people had linked up!

Have at it, friends!

pinnable me: mandy.

If you haven't been paying attention, you neeeeeed to be following my friend Mandy on Pinterest. 

She has impeccable taste. Impeccable. 

She pins the best stuff, the best food, the best, boldest, most beautiful interiors. 

So, Mandy needs a whole Pinterest post dedicated to her. 

Because she's totally worth it.

(Mandy, Ivy and I all worked together for many, many summers. They're two of my favorite girls ever, and I'm thankful that if ANYTHING came of those summers beyond a serious case of the creeps when I see the Rugrats on TV, it's my friendship with these girls.)

pinnable me: chalk it up.

We're back!
This week, I'm obsessed with all things chalkboard.

I have a project in mind for my house involving a chalkboard, but I'm not yet willing to share.

So for now, these will have to suffice.

I really, really, really want to do both of these projects. 

Especially the globe. How much fun for learning geography. I'd have aced every single one of my quizzes in GEOG 101 if I'd had this to draw on.

I love this board too, I think it's a fun, clever way to keep things that you're looking forward to in a place you can always see it. 

I'm thinking I might make it and give it to Liam next year for his birthday, with a countdown to our big Disney World trip on it.

What about y'all?

What did YOU find on Pinterest this week that makes you swoon??

Link up!
And, if you wrote a post last week when we were on hiatus, link up both posts!

take a break.

In case you hadn't noticed...

Toddler Tuesday and Pinnable Me weren't featured this week. 

We're going to take a break leading into the long weekend, since so many families are away from their computers and unable to participate (at least in the latter).

The weekly features will be back next week!

Hope y'all save up some really great stuff for the next Pinnable Me post!

Pinnable Me

Firstly, y'all were AMAZING last week!!

Today's post is about smart ideas. Ways to save a buck (via Mandy), ways to create ingenious spaces (via Erin) and ways to spruce up something that is otherwise drab (via moi). 

Enjoy!

BY THE WAY... if you don't follow the MandyLynn on Pinterest you're missing out. Just saying.

pinnable me: party on, wayne

My amazing friend Meredith threw her son Slade the most darling 1st birthday party of all time last Saturday. 

OF. ALL. TIME.

So now I'm preoccupied with parties. 

Party wares.

Things to do.

Especially for the big numero 3 that's in about 1 year and 1 month.

(hey, I'm planning on doing it up b-i-g, so start early, people!)

pinnable me: relax

Today's Pinnable Me features spaced I'd love to lay around in.
For sure.

Could this be any more ideal?? 

All it needs to be my idea of perfection is for it to be a little darker, and to see fireflies in the background. 

THEN it'd be about as close to my version of summer heaven as possible.

Imma say it. I want to paint a room TARDIS blue. And decorate it to look like the Doctor would be comfortable there.

Pretty sure this is close to the mark.

So, as discussed, in this FRIDAY feature, I'm going to post my favorite post by one of my friends and and my favorite of mine from the past week. 

LOVE this, I'm searching for a color to paint a few walls in my living room and this may be the winner. Plus, I'm hoping to inject a little more coral in my life, so this is doubly fine in my eyes.

 I don't really like bunk beds very much, I think they're... a lot. But these are simply wonderful. Who wouldn't want to sleep here?
