Pinterest, "Pinspiration" from Nov and Dec

Like many people, I have been spending a lot of time at a website called, Pinterest. Think of it like an online bulletin board. I have gotten lots of craft ideas and recipe ideas.  I just wanted to share a few things I made this holiday season.  Some were hits, and some were complete misses.  

Food wise...

Cranberry, feta cheese tortilla roll-ups (YUM)
Autumn Salad (YUM)
Cowboy Casserole (YUM)
Hawaiian Chicken (chuck in Chicken breasts (can be frozen), a can of pineapple tid-bits (drained), and BBQ sauce (enough to cover it all) in a crockpot for like 6hours on low - then serve over rice --- BIG HIT!)
Mississippi Sin Dip (Sinful - sub bacon instead of ham)
Rolo's melted on Pretzels with a pecan squished on top

Yum
Fruit Christmas Tree
A Huge hit!
Bread stuffed with pesto and Italian Cheeses (kinda a miss, but it looked cool!)
Good idea, but difficult to pull apart
I also made some Buffalo Chicken Roll ups- they were ok

Now, craft wise...
Window Treatments
I hope to make these for each season
Christmas Tree
Ribbon, Pins, a cone and a cool star from Target
That's it for now. I like Pinterest, it's very addicting and interesting. It has re-awakened the crafter in me- which is good. Instead of just sitting in front of the TV- I am "Crafting" in front of the TV :)

Now, before my next craft project...it's project declutter our home.  No cabinet or closet will be left un-inspected. Goodwill better be ready for our donations!
