400th Post Giveaway and Oh So Pinteresting!

I've got about six different things I needed to put for the title of this post!!

First one would be: HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNAH!! My munchkin turned four today! I'll tell you all about it in another post....because this one is just all sorts of busy!!!! And I haven't downloaded the pictures yet! But it's been a great celebration that pretty much started on Sunday and finished up today!

Second title would be: WHAT A BUSY DAY/WEEK!. My day....get Brooke on the bus, bake a cake, decorate brownies for the munchkin, play with munchkin, put together gift basket for school carnival, do some travel quotes, take munchkin to preschool, run to Walmart to pick up a few things, race home to beat the bus for Brooke to get out early, send Brooke to grandma's, go back to preschool for munchkins Birthday time, home for family birthday dinner, and out for ice cream. My week....no school Mon/Tues, early dismissal Weds, Thurs, Fri... Six cakes and two dozen cupcakes due between Friday and Saturday...conferences...and school carnival. YahoooYipppity.

Third title would be.... OH SO PINTERESTING!! I've hardly had a chance to sit still and I have not replaced my laptop yet so Pinterest is falling behind in my world. I did get to it a few times this week. Here's what I pinned. Sorry no pics, just links. Roll with it.

Letter Photo Art Tutorial that includes a link to a flickr album with gazillions of letter pictures you can use. Awesome.

I made and pinned these Look and Find bottles that I did as Valentine gifts.

Pinned a recipe for Carmelitas, which I considered to be the absolute best thing ever served at Iowa State Food Service. Can't wait to make them.

Linking up at The Vintage Apple for Oh So Pinteresting.

And the final title option....400th Post Giveaway!!!!
