My pinterest obsession - my first project

If you haven't yet fallen in love with Pinterest, let me know!  Because the only logical reason for not being on Pinterest is because you don't have an invitation to join.  I will gladly take care of that!

I don't want to bore everyone with the details of Pinterest....but it's essentially a place where you "pin" "interesting" things on virtual bulletin boards.  Crafts, recipes, fashion, home decor, books, etc.

One of my boards is called House Useful...for things that I want to have in my house to make my life easier.  I'm a huge list maker and love being able to physically write down and eliminate items.  I have virtual to do lists which are helpful, but I have many lists written down to remind me of important things at home and at work.

Well...I discovered a fun way to display goals/to-do items that I just had to try.  Here's the link to the site I pinned in my House Useful board.  It's for a rotating goal list.

The Cornflower Blue blog gives you the dimensions and instructions to make your own.

It sounded super easy to make, so I made some as gifts for my closest circle of friends because we had just talked about setting some individual goals.  I figured this would be a fun way to keep these goals and to remind each other to hold others accountable for putting stuff up and completing it.

I made one that looked exactly like the blog posts, but then I did a little research on zentangle designs to make the others different.  Here's the one I made for me!

The one I made for myself is drawn on the Bristol cardstock and pinned to my bulletin board in my kitchen.  For my friends' gifts, I mounted the Bristol cardstock onto some super thick poster boards that I got at Staples.  It was more like thin but super strong cardboard which added a nice weight.  I might make myself one like that for the office.

Super quick...great visual reminder....one of the best Pinterest finds and projects to take on that seemed very doable!
