I hosted my very first Pinny Party!
What's a Pinny Party???
It's a party where all of your Pinterest Pals
get together & create
If you have been obsessing about Pinterest for as long as I have,
you know you have a board of crap that you want to create!
Well, we actually did it
We had been talking about it for a while
and I finally made it happen
Here's what you can do to make your Pinny Party happen too!!
FIRST: Pick a project
You know there are things you have that you are just dying to make
You know it maybe something with mason jars or burlap or both
and certainly glue guns are involved
Here's where we started:
We wrote up a list of supplies & sent everyone on their way to gather up all they needed
Many emails went back & forth about what supplies to get etc.
In the end we all came up with unique to us versions of the board we wanted to make.
Second: Pick a date, time & place
So we all came together on a Saturday night at my house to get our "craft on"
Third: Plan a menu
In addition to "amazing stuff I want to create" boards
I also have "amazing stuff i want to eat & drink" boards too
I chose 2
Cake Batter Truffles
found here
Strawberry Mojitos
found here
although I was the only one who indulged in the strawberry mojitos "salad" drink
(I added way toooo many mint leaves)
Fourth: Get your craft on
We headed up to my craft space to get the party started
So the honest truth-
this was pretty adventurous project to make in one night
I don't think any of us finished in one sitting
With a room full of this many creative women it was great to
bounce ideas off of each other
We had a lot of laughs
We definitely wanted to pick another project and do it again
The most common phrases of the night were
"I saw it on PINTEREST"
OR
"Well if you were on PINTEREST you would have seen it"
(one of us wasn't on Pinterest at the time)
"OWWWWW"
or
"Mother f@*(!$*@, SH*t, Son of a B*tch"
when we burned ourselves with the glue guns
More Ttuths:
This is what mine looked like at the end of the night
This is what mine still looks like
Will post pics as soon as I am done
In 6 months, I am sure!
BUT Here is K's
GORGEOUS!
She ended up using elmers glue to finish it! LOL
Here is A's
It was an amazing night
we all had a blast
We are in the planning stages of party number 2
and I am thinking of starting a
Pinny Party blog too!
Let me know if I have inspired you to start your own party!
