Autumn Pinterest Projects

If y'all haven't figured out that I'm Pinterest-obsessed by now, you might just be totally clueless! ;-)

Here's the thing about pin boards. I'd say that for most people, it's a way to waste away the hours looking at cool projects you'll never do, food recipes you'll never make, clothes you'll never wear, interior designs that you'll never recreate... etc etc. You know, picturing this dream life for yourself that you'll never make happen. I think people's wedding boards are probably more realistic.. I, for one, basically planned the entirety of my wedding through Pinterest!

For me, Pinterest is a great visualization tool...
I pin things that make me feel good, projects or recipes that are worthwhile and reasonable for me to complete, and inspiration for realistic homemaking. I want to be a crafty homemaker, I want to make new recipes constantly, I want to throw cute little themed parties at my house! I feel like those things are going to be very fulfilling for me, personally, and if I can think positively about those things and know that I have the resources to make them happen, it makes those projects seem easier to complete. Then, knowing that those things are easily accomplished, I know that I will do them. So in the future, I will be happy and feel fulfilled. Because I'm already thinking positively about the future, it is more likely to happen that way.

I will admit to having two "Dream" boards: one for a dream home and one for a dream vacation. These are two things that are important to me, though: having a beautiful, gorgeous house and exploring the most beautiful places on earth. That's where the real visualization happens! Someday, it'll happen. :)

Anyways, back to the story! In addition to getting ready for the big move, I've been doing some more autumn Pinterest crafts! I've already posted about my Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer and Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies, now I want to share a few more great projects!

I got together with my friend, Martha, last night for a little crafting and drinking. Martha is one of my Pinterest Partners in Crime! We made some bedazzled pumpkins and wore matching pumpkin earrings:

Gettin' into the festivities with matching pumpkin earrings!

But before we could get crafty, we needed some tequila. So, we made Apple Cider Margaritas (that I found on Pinterest, of course!) Let me tell you, they were surprisingly delicious! And look how gorgeous...

Close up! Can't you just feel the warmth of the cider and gold tequila in your belly already?!

Alright, so once we enjoyed a fall-flavored margarita, the crafts began! We had already bought our fake pumpkins and craft supplies, and we had a few different pins for how to decorate pumpkins:

Glitter Pumpkins

Ribbon Pumpkins

Bedazzled Pumpkins

Painted Pumpkins

Ready to see what we came up with? Here's what we made!
