Friday's Top Five - Pinterest Ideas I'd like to try


I am not crafty. I suck. I can't even make a macaroni-owl without it looking like it flew on the short-bus. I'm also sort of lazy and imperialist in my view of crafty things...why make when I can buy? I am also not addicted to Pinterest like 3/4 of my female friends.

Joane: "let's do a blog about five Pinterest items we would like to try." 
Me: "Sure."
Me to self: "Crap, I guess that means I should probably look at Pinterest and see what my hypothetical crafty-self would hypothetically like to do."

2 hours later....
Me to self: "Are these women in la-la land? I call bullshit that anything pinned here is possible."

3 hours later...
Me to self: "Oooh, that's totally neat."

4 hours later...
Me to self: "Oh, I can do that. I can SO do that!"

So without further ado, here are the five things I'd like to try...because I can totally do this and my project will look exactly the same, right?

5) Summer Workout Lists

Oh, I am so going to Jane Fonda my ass this summer. Just you wait and see. I don't really know what an oblique twist is. Is that like some type of cocktail? Workout while drinking? Don't mind if I do...

4) Boozy Popsicle thingy

Margarita Popsicles? WIN! Never mind the fact that I can't even cut a lime to look like that, or that I don't technically own any popsicle sticks. Minor details.

2) Individual homemade Jell-o fruit snacks

These little bastards are pricey, so I would save us money too! And they will look EXACTLY LIKE THAT.

2) Nifty patio lanterns and planters

Isn't that romantic and beautiful? I mean, what could possibly go wrong with a candle-lit lantern in my ghetto neighbourhood? And of course, since Edmonton is a summer climate, I can enjoy this for a long time. And it doesn't appear that this project will attract moths and mosquito's like my light porch does. I am so doing this.

1) Hair styles.

Although I have absolutely no hair talent, my hair right now is thin, frizzy and grey. There is no way I can fix this right? Challenge accepted! If I follow the handy step-by-step tips, I can totally look like the above.

So mosey over to Joanne's blog to check out what she is is going to try. If When I do the above, I will let you know the results!

LOL.... this made me laugh FOR REAL!!

Nicely written, my friend. And I'm totally going to try that with my hair, too. You know, after I see how it works for you, haha.

Jillian introduced me to an oblique twist in her 30 day shred. I think it is a form of torture in other countries.
