I have a new episode on the Refresh Her Podcast today. I hope you’ll listen and also share it with others! If you’re dealing with difficult people, this episode will give you a fresh perspective!

Rather than blog about the podcast today, I’m sharing a little project that I did recently. While visiting New England last fall, I got to go to the King Arthur Flour Company. It’s a great place to eat lunch and to walk through! I purchased a lovely tea towel while there as a memory from our trip. When I got it home I found that it was huge! When I held it up, I realized that it would be perfect to use for something aside from wiping our wet hands!

My church is hosting a Ladies’ Brunch and Ornament Exchange on Saturday morning. I’m always up for a fun event at church where we can fellowship over good food, open God’s Word together, and share the special Christmas season! Because we could have visitors who might not come prepared for the ornament exchange, I decided to bring some extras with me. I wanted them to be special and pretty, but not too pricey.

I had seen some Rae Dunn ornaments that were lovely, but they were way more than I wanted to pay since I needed about six. Then when I was Hobby Lobby this week, I got inspired to try to mimic the look of the Rae Dunn ornaments. Let me show you my finished product then I’ll tell you how easy it was to create.

Pinterest Party Success!

November 15, 2017November 15, 2017 RefreshHer3 Comments

Last Friday I mentioned that our church was hosting our 7th Pinterest party on Saturday. We had over 70 women, with more than half of them being visitors! It was so much fun! It was filled with new friends, great food found on Pinterest, fellowship, and a challenge from God’s Word. Where would you find Pinterest in the Bible?! Our speaker showed us! =) It was in all the words like, Search, Save, Follow, etc. So good!

Then of course there was tons of great crafting! I made only one complete craft, due to helping others with theirs, but that’s okay! I made many new friends and had a great time!! I thought I’d share with you some of the crafts that were available for us to make. You could make them ALL for $10!

Wood ornaments

Pumpkin Garland

Salt Scrub

Grapevine wreath with felt flowers

Cinnamon Ornaments

Paper journals

Painted Pine Cones

Most of the crafts were super easy to put together. I think most everyone went home with a bag full of completed projects! This has become a favorite event of our ladies each year. It’s so well executed and is a great tool to reach out to unchurched ladies! I’ve blogged about it here and you can see how Christina pulls it all together.

If you’re interested in the “how-to” of any of the above crafts, you can find them on this page on Pinterest. They’re all such cute ideas!

Pinterest is my favorite place to browse for ideas! I’ve “pinned” LOTS of them with everything from recipes to sewing patterns, and I’ve tried many, many of them. It’s just a great tool that saves leg work and the accumulation of books. Anyone else love it like I do?
