Invites

I found a new addiction. I knew it would be an addiction so I tried to stay away for as long as possible. But I finally gave in. Pinterest where have you been all my life?

When I first started planning my Princess' birthday I was going to order her invites like I always do. But I found so many cute ideas on Pinterest I decided to do the DIY invite this year. I can't say my project was a success but if you don't look too closely they are cute.

I will admit I have no creative bones in my body so I didn't have any art making supplies. After my trip to Michaels I have decided that craft supplies are definitely going to be on my BOLO list. Those things are EXPENSIVE! Even if I don't sell them I'm sure I will have the need for them again.

I haven't explored everything Pinterest has to offer yet but I know several people have had success promoting their eBay items on Pinterest. I haven't gotten that far yet. I'm a newbie and afraid of change.

    The invites look adorable! You did a great job! And yes, craft supplies are super expensive at Michaels. Try sourcing supplies at the dollar stores whenever possible. You will need them once your princess has to do projects for school.
    And I too just joined Pinterest this weekend. I'm using it to get ideas for my next house.

    You did a super job on the invitations! Are you sure you aren't crafty - it looks like you are to me LOL! And the previous post with your daughter and the pinata is adorable. This is a grandma saying they just grow up too fast!

    PS I think anyone who goes to pinterest is hooked!

      Lynn - I had a talk with my Princess about not growing anymore and she agreed :). They do grow up so quick.

    I think the invitations are adorable! I get alot of my craft supplies from the thrift store and from yard sales.Then you pick up stuff cheap.
    I'm on the other end of the spectrum-I have too many supplies and not enough time for all the projects running through my mind,lol.

      I should have come over to your house to create. With your ideas and supplies we would have made great stuff.
