The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
Busy busy week! Husband's dealing with a sinus infection! Bless him! I'm planning to host another Pinterest Party in December, and so I've been busy planning crafts and recipes to try for the party. Tuesday was my niece's birthday. She's 11 this year! And then Friday was my nephew's birthday. This year, he turned 12! They're growing up so quickly. Friday night the family went out to eat to celebrate both of their birthdays. Husband and I ran around to Hobby Lobby, Lowes, Home Depot, and Walmart to pick up items I needed to do a test run on my Pinterest crafts. I'm so excited to see how they turn out.

I've never heard of a Pinterest party before, what exactly does it entail?
ReplyDeleteI hope your husband get's better soon! I still haven't got a copy of Ruins, although I did enjoy the first two books. I hope the last book is great as well!
I really need to read We Were Liars as well! I have seen so many good reviews for it but still haven't given it a try yet. Enjoy your blogging break! I have a feeling that I will be taking one myself in the upcoming weeks :)
ReplyDeleteA handful of birthdays to celebrate and get well soon to your husband

Lots of sickness at my house too :(
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your blogging break and look forward to seeing you next week!

Thanks Stephanie! It was much needed!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it too! It was one that the hype was well deserved I think! Oh thanks Laurel! It'll be a couple of weeks before the Pinterest Party, but I do have much to do to prepare for it! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
ReplyDeleteRant? Oh boy! I wonder what she wants to say about it??? Thanks for stopping by and commenting Michelle!
ReplyDeleteWe've only had about 3 parties in the past. Everyone makes a recipe that they've pinned and haven't tried before. And then the person hosting picks a craft they've found on Pinterest (usually holiday related). Everyone that comes to the party pitches in money and the host buys all the supplies. And then we eat and do the craft the host picked out. It's really been a lot of fun. And it's been interesting to see which recipes are duds and which ones are really good.
ReplyDeleteThanks! He's feeling some better, but honestly not 100% yet. I still haven't started Ruins. I meant to, but I ended up reading some other books while on vacation instead of Ruins. Oh well! I'll get around to it soon! Thanks for stopping by Lola!
I enjoyed it, but I won't say too much about it until my review goes live. Thanks Samantha! It was a much needed break. I hope you're able to take one soon if you need it too! And thanks for stopping by and commenting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nyze! And thanks for stopping by and commenting!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Hope everyone is better around your way! It was definitely a much needed break, but I'm ready to get back into the groove! Thanks for stopping by and commenting Jen!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lot of fun! I can imagine it would be a lot of fun to find out which recipes are a hit and which a miss.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised I never heard of it before, but then again most people I know on Pinterest aren't people I know in real life and vise versa.
It has been really fun in the past. Pinterest is a huge hit here and almost everyone I know is on it, but you could always provide people with the recipes yourself and let them choose which ones they might want to try.
