The hearts have all come down and clovers are moving in around our house. I've always liked St. Patrick's Day because I love the month of March. I love warmer weather and the green that comes with this time of year.
Pinterest has a banner for every holiday, every month, every occasion, and every thing else! I saw this banner a few weeks ago and knew it would be fun to make and look great for St. Patrick's day.
My newest kitchen banner was made completely with scraps found in mom's craft room. Thank Goodness for mom's craft room! I used an old phone book, recycled card stock, and buttons.
So about six months ago Zoe (my 15 year old) made the comment that "good mom's bake desserts each week". She didn't mean it as a putdown, but it really got me thinking about how my grandmothers (especially my dad's mom) ALWAYS had cookies, Texas sheet cake, or something totally yummy around her house. Granted she never worked, but still. I can't say that I've done it EVERY week, but 90% of the time I bake something yummy on Sundays. Pinterest has been great for finding new recipes. I found this one for White Chocolate Butter Bars and knew our family would love it. They are fabulous!!!
Later this week Zoe and I are headed to New York City. I've got to tie in this week's Pinterest Project to the Big Apple. I better get to searching now! :-)
Now I feel like a completely bad mommy!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Polly!
I knew those old phone books would be useful even if just scratch paper for gluing and painting on top. And you thought I should throw them away - HA! I carried them in my trunk for months until I could find a place to sneak some in to the craft room and it has finally paid off. Even if you only used 2 pages out of the 13 books I have. Oh well, Love your project and you! Mom
