Ready for a couple Pinterest Poser Challenge* projects in one post? Here you go:
In an attempt at not being a Pinterest Poser,* every week I detail a new Pinterest challenge whether it be a new recipe or a craft.
Glitter Falling Leaves Garland
I love glitter. I admit it. I mean what's wrong with glitter? Sure it is hard to get out of anything. But I kind of love that about it. I mean it can make your carpet sparkly (why is that bad?). It can make you laugh when you see a speck of it on your husband's forehead three weeks after using glitter in a craft project at home (when he wasn't even there). Not everyone sees the humor or gets the whole glitter appreciation. That's cool, we don't all have to agree on everything.
If you happen to be one of those glitter-loving fools than this project might be right up your alley. You might also like it because it only cost me around $3.
After getting the idea on Pinterest from this site, I headed over to the dollar store and bought glue, glitter and a packet of fake leaves (all for $1 each).
Quick, simple, fun, cheap and meaningful.
Come on over and follow my Pinterest boards too.
Here are some of the projects I've already attempted, the good and the bad:

Wade was more than happy to help. Actually he did all the hard gluey, glittery parts.
I poured glue onto a paper plate. He dipped a leaf in the glue, then sprinkled it with gold glitter and let it dry.
I found some yarn and glued the leaves to it and hung it.
This project was simple, fun and I am surprised how much I love the way it turned out. It is great for Halloween or even to dress up a Thanksgiving display.
The Gratitude Dinner
When I was a kid my dad took us to a fancy restaurant where we could draw on the paper tablecloth. We used to have so much fun. Then as a grown up my now husband and I used to go to a restaurant like that when we were dating. But who says you have to go to a restaurant for that kind of fun? And who says you can't tie a little life lesson into it? Pinterest that's who (and this site). And now me, because I am no poser.
Last night at dinner I laid out a piece of plain brown paper I got for $1 at my favorite dollar store. I also sat out a bunch of Sharpies.
After we all sat down, I informed the family that while we ate we could draw and write what we are grateful for right now.
We had fun with it and each shared what we wrote.
