To try or not to try, there is no question...

For those of you who can spend hours upon hours on pinterest, repinning pins upon pins, thinking to yourselves, "I love that! I want to make that, find that, hang that, eat that...", you're not alone. I constantly find things and go, "I'll pin this, and maybe I'll use it someday!" So far I've done about 4 recipes, which have all turned out fan-freaking-tabulous by the way, but nothing else. 

On my recent trip to Europe I was without my cell phone for 10 days. I survived. It made me realize I wanted to do something a little more productive with my time. I want to be able to see the fruits of my labors, or have labors for that matter. Both of my boys will be in school in less than a month, then I will have all day to myself! I'll need something to do. 

I've decided to start a blog, and try all those things I constantly repin that I never get around to doing. I want to make a wine bottle candle, decorative cupcakes and picture wall decor. I would still like to try my hand at quilting. But I'll start small. Besides this way it'll always be something new! Variety is the spice of life, as they say. 

I'm setting a goal of something new every week. I'd like to do it more often, but I figure once a week is an obtainable goal. You know how it goes, there's those weeks that fly by with appointments, softball games and school event nights. So, wish me luck as I try out something new. Who knows, maybe I'll find my niche, and never go back. At least I know I'll have fun trying.
