Pin-Ter-Vention Party Time!

Is it just me, or does anyone else sing the title to this blog post to the tune of "peanut butter jelly time"???

Please tell me I'm not the only one??

This week...

I won't actually be linking up with Steph and Nicole for the Pin-Ter-Vention.

Boo.

But I did want every one to know about it.  So just b/c I'm not linking up, doesn't mean you can't go check out what everyone's doing.

I just haven't had time to document things I've been doing because I've got a new venture going on.  I've been getting ready for this venture, which has been hard b/c most of the weekend I really didn't feel very good.  And to tell the truth, I'm still not up to par right now.

I'm not ready to announce anything yet.  Just because I don't think the time is right.  It's nothing super secretive or anything.  I guess I just don't want to "talk" about it.   I want to "do" it, then write about it.

So, instead of sharing something I "did" from a pin on pinterest, I thought I'd give you a sneak peek at what's been taking my attention lately.





















Yep, that's a lot of stuff...  A lot to get done...  But I can do it.  I've got a GREAT support system!!

Now make sure to go check out what Steph and Nicole and everyone else has been doing!

Hey! It's Okay!

First things first, if you haven't already, go enter my giveaway HERE!!  

Don't worry, I'll wait.  

Today, I'm double dipping.  I'm blogging about a Pin-Ter-Vention where I show you how to make awesome printable like this:



Well,  I don't really show you how to do it.  I do give you the link with the instructions though.  Click HERE for the printable info.

AND, I'm blogging about what I'm Okay about this week.

Amber, the Whispering Writer at Airing My Dirty Laundry has a linky party every Tuesday.  To join in, link up what you’re okay about this week.

This week, It’s Okay:

To turn off my phone notifications for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and email.  Really, I don't have to know anything from these apps in real time.  I'm perfectly happy with finding stuff out when I log on.  That being said, if you need me quick, text me.

To still be reading "21 pounds in 21 days"...

To be super excited about the tshirts I made to wear at Christen's high school soccer games.  Yes, I'm THAT Soccer mom.  I can't help it, I'm proud of her and I want everyone to know she's my daughter.  I'll be sharing pics of the tshirts soon.

To talk baby talk to my dogs. Yes, I'm THAT person too.  Don't worry, I try not to do it in public or in front of anyone who isn't family.  I don't want to freak people out.

To download just about every free song KLove has.  This week it's "Forever Reign" by One Sonic Society.  Go HERE to get it for free too.

To remind you about Plum Districts awesome deal on Silhouette SD/Cameo stuff.  Click HERE to snag your deal!

To be really bummed about Etta James passing away this week.  I love hearing her sing.

To shamelessly plug my Valentine Crafty Prize Pack Giveaway, again.  Go HERE to enter to win!

To ask for prayers for my Mother In Law, Brenda.  She was diagnosed with cancer this week.  Thankfully, the dr thinks they caught it early.  She'll have radiation to shrink it and then surgery to remove it.  She's a nurse, she knows all the wonderful things that can come of this and the things that could go wrong.  Please pray for complete healing and peace for her and wisdom and skill for her doctors.

Alrighty, your turn!  Go see what everyone else is okay about, and while you're at it, link up what you're okay about this week!

Pin-Ter-Vention Party Time!

Have you entered to win my Valentines Crafty Prize Pack Giveaway yet?  No??  Well, go enter HERE and come back here for the Pintervention Party.

Go on..  I'll wait!

Okay, now...

It's time to party Pinterest style!

Have you pinned and pinned and never really done anything but stare at your pins?  You need to stop pinning and start doing!  And join the pin-ter-vention party!

Steph and Nicole started and host this awesome party, and I hope you can join in.

I'm sure if you use the AWESOME photo editing site PicNik, you've heard that the site is closing down in April.  I know, I'm SO SAD, mainly because I really don't want to learn how to use PhotoShop AND because I just found out how to make printables using PickNik!

So I'm sharing this pin with you, so you can make your own printables, until PickNik closes down that is.

After that, if you find another way (that's not as complicated as PhotoShop) please share!

Here's the original pin:

I won't go into all the instructions, you can click on the picture above to get all those.

I've been using some of the printables I've created on a couple of my posts.  And here's the one I've made for Valentines day:



If you couldn't tell..  I love this color scheme.

I guess you could print it from picnik, but I prefer to print it from my computer, it just comes out better.

And guess what?  If you want this print, all you gotta do is click on it and save it.  If you do though, I do ask that you link back to this post if you have a blog.

You can frame it, put on your fridge, whatever you want to do!  And you can make it any size.  Coasters are coming to my mind...  yep, coasters...

I didn't have a frame to fit this printable, so I winged it.

That should be what I named my blog: "Jodi and how she wings everything"

I love it when that happens though because, I don't know about you, but when the plans are out the window and creativity takes over...  that's just divine.

I love it.

So...  as I was saying, I winged it.

I had a botched painting on canvas that I just couldn't save, so I ripped the cavas off, painted the wood frame a couple of times with white acrylic paint, grabbed some twine and this is what happened:





I'm pretty pleased,

And I'm so thankful for Steph and Nicole for hosting these Pin-Ter-Vention Parties, it really pushes me (in a good way) to get up and do something.

So, what are you waiting for??

Stop pinning and start doing!

(after you enter my Valentine Crafty Prize Pack Giveaway of course)


I'll also be linking up at these great parties this week:
