Gobble

Yay! I was invited to my first Pinterest Party! The guidelines: bring a food/drink from your favorite pin and bring the supplies to make a craft! Then hang out with some girls, eat good food, and craft away!

My drink: Apple Orchard Punch

I couldn't follow directions so I had to change it up a little:)

1 jug of Apple juice
1 frozen concentrate of cran-apple
1 cup OJ
1/2 liter of diet Serria Mist
1/2 liter of diet Cranberry Serria Mist
Frozen cranberries
Green Apple slices

Mix it all up and put it in a jug!


My craft: Gobble twine wrapped sign

In preparation for Thanksgiving and a surplus of green twine my craft was perfect!

Purchased small wood letters from Hobby Lobby. ($1.39 for two letters) I had a ton of green twine and began wrapping the letters. I used the glue gun for tricky parts of the letter or to start and end. Once complete I wrapped a board (also from Hobby Lobby for $3.99 with wall hooks) with burlap. Attached the letters and then made burlap roses. The roses are easy just cut a strip into about 12 inches by 3 inches. Grab one end and begin wrapping into a circle twisting the strip as you go. When you get to the end glue the bottom and attach the last few inches so the rose stays intact. Attach the roses to a few of the letters! Simple and cute!

Now I need to host a Pinterest Party...oh yeah...already in the works:)
