Pin that Party

I guess Pinterest parties are the "in thing" right now. And it totally makes sense seeing as how addicting Pinterest can be. :) My friend Regan had a birthday last week and we wanted to have a girls' night to celebrate. So this definitely made the perfect excuse to host one at my house. We tried out some new recipes and also did a cool craft. We did Italian and boy, let me just say, the food was amazing! If you want the recipes go to the Recipe tab for more of the delicious details. I'll post some pictures below of the food.

Sliced tomatoes with olive oil drizzled on top, a little mozzarella cheese, and some fresh parsley, broiled in the oven. Mouth watering!

To die for French bread with a fresh garlic, parsley, artichoke, butter spread. So good!

Lasagna rolls!


For our pinterest craft we decorated glass cups. The cool thing is, was that we could all do the same craft but they would come out different and you can use them for multiple things. I was the least crafty and artistic person at the party but I do have to say, I had a blast! This easy craft could be a candle votive, something to keep q-tips or other supplies in, or use for other decorative purposes. And did I mention that it was super easy?! The only supplies you need are q-tips, some paint brushes if you want to get really crafty, spray on mod podge, and acrylic paint. Once you're done decorating and let the paint dry, take the cups outside and spray the mod podge and let dry. I would suggest to spray in the grass :)

One of my crafty crafts!

Leslie had some skill too!

I do have to add, not all of Pinterests ideas are successes. We had one failure. Brownies. We attempted to follow what was suppose to be a "super easy", quick brownie recipe that you make in a waffle maker. Umm, yea. Did not work. Whoever came up with that idea did not know what they were doing! Check it out...



I do have to say, it cooked through all the way and it tasted good with some whipped cream and strawberry topping! So, in the end we did get to enjoy the chocolate goodness!
