My 2012 DIY List

I have so many projects that I really want to do... and that was before Pinterest came into my life. The list gets bigger and bigger every day but unfortunately time is not on my side. Or perhaps it's that I waste what little time I do have, honestly that is probably more the case. I love the satisfaction I get when I finish a project & when I save the money making something myself. I also love to share ideas and how to's so I thought that if I shared my projects here that I may be more likely to complete them and share with you.
Here's my current list of "want to do's", I'm sure I'll edit and add as the days go by but for now this is what is bouncing around my head.... it's a very busy head with lofty, lofty goals. I have included a few images I found on Pinterest that made me happy.
My DIY Project list for 2012:
- valentine decor (hearts to hang, love garland)
- make a heart pillow
- make a "love" pillow

- paint a tree on Anna's bedroom wall
