so close!

I'll be back with a Pinterest Project post soon.  I know, I missed last week.  I've been working on one though so it'll hopefully be finished so I can post on that next week! I thought I'd share my ALMOST  favorite picture.  Seriously, I love it and it's just so close  to being my most favoritist (yes, that's a word) of all if it weren't for the fact that Caroline's precious smile is being covered up.  That was the extent of our cooperation today for pictures too, so there was no recreating that set up.   Oh well.  We'll try on a different day.

Enter... Pinterest  .  It's like the world's biggest magazine and it can be...time consuming.  Some days it's a distraction for me and I do it just to relax or other days I will have a specific recipe or project I want to look up (like furniture painting tutorials or room decorating styles, etc).  I started to notice a trend-  I kept pinning things and wasn't following through with doing  the projects. Then I thought of something that motivated me in this area.  I call it "Project Pint
