Pinterest Project LOVE

It has been so long since I've gotten on the blogosphere.  I'm not even sure if many people are reading through blogs much anymore.  I love reading through old posts and remembering little times in our lives.  I enjoy reading what others are doing and keeping that connection.  So, I'll continue to post ... when there's time.

So, what takes all my time???  Well, my previous post about Primary is one thing.  In fact, I had to quit my little craft group because I couldn't deal with any more deadlines.  I still need to have moments of creativity, so I found a new love ... PINTEREST  --  (let me know if you need an invite!)    Who comes up with these brilliant things???  I find it possible to waste so much time finding all sorts of things I OUGHT to be doing.  Ha!

Here is my first Pinterest project.  The ultimate Menu Board.  I think it's going to be a big time saver.  I spend hours each week planning my meals which includes finding the recipes so I can make up a shopping list.  This is going to be AWESOME.  Each card is a dinner and on the back side is a simple list of ingredients that I need.  The yellow ones are basic "everyday" recipes, the green is for "crock pot" meals, and the pink are "Sunday" or "special" dinners.   On the night I make the meal, I can find the recipe quick.  It's cheaper and easier than before.  The family knows what's coming up, and if I'm late getting dinner going, the kids can see what is planned and they can get going on it.  The whole project only cost about $9.  It adds so much personality to my kitchen, too.  So fun!!!
