I’ve been blogging quite a bit about Pinterest lately. It’s inspired me to get a little crafty this season. I know a lot of you are probably shaking your heads right now. Katie getting crafty? This can’t be good. And you’re right, my aspirations have fallen a little flat. But you’ve got to start somewhere right? Here are a few of my inspirations and pictures of the “reality.”

Do I get an ‘A’ for effort?
I think you have done a great job!
