Darn you PINTEREST!!!






Oh pinterest - 


not only are you a giant time waster but you also succeed in tricking me into thinking "I could do that!"


And then it never pans out and I feel like a home-makin failure.






For Romans valentines this year I was itching to get creative.


And then I was kicking myself the entire time - crying inside for not just getting the standard cards from the store.


For those of you who know me know me - know that I'm terrible at crafty things.


I feel like I end up (trying to think of a different word other than half assing but I can't so excuse me ;) half assing most every craft I do.


 but I have good intentions. 


At first.


And then it doesn't look how I want so i just hurry so it's finished.




So without further adoo 

(yeah not doing very good grammarically tonight :)




Here are some pics of my turmoil I put myself through the day before Valentines day + a few cute faces that helped/hindered me along....










































































They looked so easy!

On pinterest....


But they were a pain in the butt.


Especially for someone who hasn't sewn since high school. 




So next year...


I'll probably make the same mistake again ;)

This is me to a T! But I keep trying because someday I might start caring about the quality of the stuff I try to make, and then, I will be a crafty goddess!

They're cute! At least you tried something new. I was lame and just did the same thing as last year. lol
