Mallory, the Pinterest Freak

Photobucket

By: Mallory Jordan
Your Moderately Crafty Blogger


I like to think of myself as a renaissance woman; I dance, read and write; I enjoy singing, acting, learning in general and I love tea parties. I like to dabble a little bit in everything and do my best to be at least moderately good at it all.

A year ago, when the Pinterest craze was just hitting its peak, my roommate got me hooked. I always saw her making delicious snacks with the cutest presentation. I didn't think that I would have any use for a site like Pinterest because I don't cook that much. Little did I know, there is so much more than just baking recipes on the site. I've made gifts for my boyfriend and family from Pinterest ideas and taken a few decorating tips, such as using ribbon and clothes pins as a pretty picture hanger for your bedroom wall. There have even been some recipes I've successfully taken a shot at, like cheesecake strawberries.

I became so in love with the site that I even wrote a story on it for my school newspaper, The Ball State Daily News, for our Valentine's Day special insert.

I think that anyone can craft. I am dedicated to help anyone who is willing to try to learn how to make easy, affordable items for gifts, treats, or just around the house decorations. I will be posting every Monday, so be sure to check out our blog for my seasonal projects for the moderately crafty person. Things to look forward to from me are how to make your own pumpkin spice latte in honor of the return of Starbucks' fall pumpkin spice flavors and fun Halloween treat ideas.

Be sure to check out my Pinterest if you have one. I will soon be adding a board called, "My creations" with more pictures of things that I have made if you are ever in need of some more ideas.

Lindsey: The Crafting-Challenged Blogger

 (By Lindsey Riley)

Hello everyone! My name is Lindsey Riley and I am not the most craftiest person you will ever meet. I am better at creating with words than I am with textiles, ingredients, and all that jazz. I am, however, open to giving things a chance.

My goal with this blog is to keep you up-to-date with the latest and coolest craft ideas while sharing something new and news-worthy with you. It sounds like a challenge, but it's a challenge that I am willing to face. I don't think it will be that bad because I am fortunate enough to have Britny and Mallory to work with me on this blog.

Some ideas I have right now to share with you include recipes for my grandmother's holiday fudge and my mom's amazing pumpkin bread. As far as crafts go, I know we will be making a t-shirt scarf for sure, and I think we'll be making some cool inexpensive things to give as gifts at Christmas. Let's face it: the holidays are about three-ish months away. No time like the present to get started on presents! :D

Be sure to follow me on Pintrest. I plan on making various pin boards as they relate to what I blog about and what Mallory and Britny blog about, as well.
