Pinterest Fail: Spaghetti Stuffed Garlic Bread
Feb 03
I saw this recipe for Spaghetti Baked in Garlic Bread on Pinterest and thought it’d be great for Christmas Eve as a simple, pretty dinner to feed a crowd. I was so rushed and stressed I forgot to put anything under it before I put it together. Having no back up plan I was forced to wrestle this unwieldy, slippery, stretchy wet mess onto a baking sheet and this was the result. BTW, it tasted...
Pinterest Gone Wrong: Melted Crayon Art
Jan 04
Welcome to this week’s edition of Pinterest Projects Gone Wrong. One of the most popular projects that has swept Pinterest is the Melted Crayon Art piece.

Happy Personalized Birthday Banner to You
Nov 23
Happy birthday, Roger, dear. I hope you like the decorations. Phew, it really is harder to decorate for a birthday party than you would think. There’s all that balloon-inflating, streamer stringing. Sure it looks great, but it really takes a huge amount of effort to make it look this good! And I really swear by personalized party decorations. I think I did a pretty great job getting the...
Epic Stepping Stone Craft Fail
Oct 20
I often get told “Is there anything you can’t make?” Yes. There are many things I know I can not do. Quilting is one of them. I’m not careful enough to keep my cuts straight, and it’s a disaster when I’m done. I also can not make jewelry (for the most part). And apparently, I can not make stepping stones either. I got together with a group of girls for a little...
