My Mom is So Talented

Wrapping paper flower made by my very own and highly talented mom.

My mom was recently inspired by all the pretty eye candy on Pinterest - because, really, who isn't these days? She concocted a darling paper flower to add a little flourish to one of my sister's birthday presents. Isn't it just dandy? If I were the proud owner of said flower, I would hang it on my wall, or possibly set it in a coordinating dish. Some ephemera is just too cute to trash. That, of course, explains the state of my apartment... Hmm.

Check out some of my mom's pins via my Pinterest profile, on the board entitled "mom." Is your mom on Pinterest? Are you? I am an addict and a half, and my mom and sister are big fans, too.

Find my mom and me. We'd love to see your pins and share ours with you.That's it for tonight. I've gotta get back to pinning.

Pinterest Interest??

Hi, Lovely People,

My sister forced me to join Pinterest. She said it was such an awesome site, and I needed to be a member so I could benefit from collective inspiration. Since she twisted my arm multiple times, I finally joined up. To start with, I set up the following pinboards:

Repetition - If you know my artwork or the types of things I’m drawn to, this subject will come as no surprise whatsoever.

Little Houses - From dollhouses to doghouses, I’m into little houses.

 

Good Reads - I LOVE to read, so expect to see my list grow exponentially.

Anomalies - Another subject I often delve into through my art.

I’ll admit it - my sister wasn’t lying. Pinterest is an awesome place where I can curate a collection of inspirational images, ideas or words. I’ve become an addict in less than 24 hours, with no signs of stopping! Phew!! 

The only problem is that it can be a headache to seek out the original poster when re-posting images. When I have a chance, I will try to hunt down credit information. If you know anything about these images, let me know. I prefer to give image credits when possible.

Are you a member of Pinterest? Find me, or let me know how to find you, so we can follow each other! I would love to know what images inspire you.

Alison :)
