Wednesday Wishes

In the past couple of months I have become addicted to a little something called "Pinterest".  Oh, you are addicted too?  Great!  I'm glad I'm not the only one!  The thing I love the most about Pinterest is that I can collect all kinds of ideas without having any kind of paper trail.  Before I stumbled upon Pinterest I would print out a project I wanted to complete or an idea I liked and file it away in a binder.  What a pain in the ass and a waste of paper and ink!  Now all my future projects, meals, and ideas for my house (aka - things I wish to build, make, create, etc.) and such are in one handy place.  Easily accessible...unless the Internet is down.  I've been pinning for over a month or so and on Sunday I started my first project inspired by a pin.  I can't wait until it is finished and I can show you what I made!!  (Oh, and not everything I pin is something I can build, make, or create.  Some pins are just things I love.)

I have decided that every Wednesday I will post some of my favorite "pins" from the week.  It's going to be hard to narrow it down to five or so pins, 'cause I always find so many things that I love!  Not only do I find things on Pinterest that other people have pinned, but I also pin things I have found on other blogs and sites.  So, so, so addicting!!  I guess it's a better addiction to have than other things, but it's hard to focus and accomplish tasks when Pinterest is out there calling my name.  "Brooooooke, there are so many things I know you will love!  Come pin!"

Well, on with the show!  Here are my favorite pins from this past week.

I just love these cupcakes!!  So cute!!  I can't wait to try to make them, although I'm 99% sure mine will look nothing like these!

I am a runner.  I didn't start running until two years ago 'cause I hate it.  I hate it, but I love what it does for me.  I am training for a 1/2 marathon that is to take place on October 2.  I haven't been able to run since Labor Day weekend due to a very personal "injury".  It pisses me off that I have jeopardized my training due to carelessness.  I'm hoping to start training again this week, but I'm behind.  I think I will still try the 1/2 and I'm just going to have to tell myself that it doesn't matter how long it takes me, just as long as I cross that finish line.  Maybe someday I'll divulge my secret "injury", but not today.

I am in love with this patio!  I think I have the perfect place in my backyard for this!  Maybe someday I'll be able to build it!

I love spats!  There is just something - oh, I dunno what word I want to use - just "something" about them.  I have very eclectic taste in fashion and these are definitely something I would wear!  I think I'll try to make some with this tutorial!

Oh, yes!  So VERY true!!  I believe I am going to have to make a sign with this definition to put somewhere in my house!  :) 

On Wednesday Wishes posts I will use a quote that I found on Pinterest.  :)  Only fitting, don't you think?
