Welcome to 2012

Welcome to 2012!!!  I know this week has been delayed, as well as posts since before Christmas.  It has been a whirlwind of traveling, visiting family, and relaxing.  I had an good holiday season and I hope every one of you also had a great “break.”

But now, with gift cards in hand, I am finding many great ideas to bring Pins to Life.  I went shopping last night at Michaels and need to make a few more trips this week to get supplies, but I am hoping that I will be able to find everything I need.  There are so many different ideas I have floating in my head for posts.

I also have a few other ideas of things I’ve been wanting to do for awhile–some of which that are closely related to this blog, that many of you might enjoy.  I will post more about that as the time comes.  Also, I am hoping to dust off my coding skills and make this blog shine with new cool features–a longer project in the works, but do-able.

So, here’s to a great New Year, much creativity, and more Pins to bring into Life in 2012!  Look forward for you all to see new great things!

Happy Holidays

I hope everyone is having a good holiday. I’d imagine many of you are preparing for family visiting, giving gifts, and time off of work. I’d also bet that many of you are getting ideas for the holidays from Pinterest. Hopefully you’ve found great food, gifts, DIY decorations and all else on Pinterest to get those creative juices flowing.

I’ve been hunkered down working on a couple large projects and of course preparing for the holidays. That means a lot of travel for us, so forgive me during these holiday weeks for not posting as much. I can’t wait for the New Year and making many new things for From Pin to Life to share with everyone.

Enjoy your holidays!! Safe travels and happiness for everyone!

Welcome December

I can’t believe that it’s already December!  I started this blog on November 1, 2011 and have written 20 posts to date.  I think that’s a pretty good record for bringing Pins to Life—creating, cooking, baking, then blogging two-thirds of the month.  Not too shabby, right?

I have a few projects that are still in progress that I will be posted soon.  You will hopefully see them within the next day or two.  I’ve been working hard finding really fun and great things that I think everyone will love.

If you have any great ideas for projects or cool things you would like to see featured on From Pin to Life, comment below or you can email frompintolife@gmail.com.  Back to finishing those projects!

I’ve updated some old posts with more or better images and I’ve also posted some new “Pins to Life” that I’ve done over the last week.

Also, during my little hiatus, I updated my personal blog with some fun things my husband and I saw and ate while on vacation.  We also went on some Ziplines and I created a video of our fun.  If you want to check that out, you can go to my personal blog The Daily Flex.

Here is a list of what I’ve updated on old posts on From Pin to Life:

• Added photos of my Plastic Bag Organizer – blog post

Here is a list of all the new Pins I’ve brought to Life:
