Last night I hosted a Pinterest party. It was so fun that we might have to make it a monthly event.
I sent out an evite, asking everyone to bring a Pinterest-inspired recipe and a Pinterest-inspired craft to work on during the party.
We ended up with a buffet full of sweet and savory goodies and it was really fun to try all the recipes that we've seen pinned on friends' boards.
We labelled each dish so that we could easily repin a recipe we liked. Just a little helpful hint: this and this? Awesome.
In addition to crafting, there was a little TV viewing going on. The Rangers were playing game six of the World Series so my baseball-loving friends snuck in to watch frequently.
There were twelve of us all together {plus a couple of babies} and it was just a really fun night. I loved seeing what others were making and we had a great time talking, eating, and laughing.
I talked a bit too much but I did manage to make a couple of things: a little pumpkin barrette for my girls {inspiration found here} ...
... and this ring that I absolutely love {inspiration found here}.
I really do hope we make this a regular event ... I'm already looking forward to doing it again.
I am going to be at the next one, Randi! Sorry I missed last night. Thanks for posting the pictures.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I wish I could come! My friends aren't very crafty, but maybe we could pull off a Pinterest food party!

That is such a great idea! I am going to see if my friends would be up for a Pinterest party. It looks like you all had a great time.

I think your party idea is great. So, when are you going to post a tutorial on making that ring? It looks really nice.
ReplyDeletehow fun is that!?! love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Great way to put all those PIN ideas to good use! Fun, fun, fun! Happy Pinning!
ReplyDeleteSo how was the creme brulee cheesecake bars? I think I have those pinned too! but, obviously haven't tried them. Great party idea!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS! I actually found this post in doing a search on how to do a Pinterest inspired craft party becasue I want to do just that! I was thinking of just doing the craft part so we could all just enjoy doing our crafts together but now I am leaning towards having them all bring something too. What a fantastic idea, great minds think alike!
