My first Pinterest wreath

I did it! And I love it! This pin featured a Christmas ornament wreath. The instructions said to use 80 bulbs, hot glue, a hanger, and ribbon. I remembered the dollar store having bulbs, so the project was a go! I only used 56 bulbs. Maybe mine was smaller than theirs, but really, it's as full as I would want it to be...and only cost $7!!

Epic fail: Trix treats

These were the reason for the start of this blog. The picture showed brightly colored mallowy treats, begging to be put into a lunchbox. My family loves cereal treats, so I thought I would give them a whirl. It started out just fine, until I poured the gooey mess into the pan. How do you press a circular cereal into a uniform thickness without smooshing? You don't. It simply doesn't work. Then the mallow sank to the bottom! I had a thick, gross buttery, well, goo on the bottom of the pan. This whole recipe quickly went from okay to terribly wrong. They tasted good, but looked disgusting and worthy of a good laugh!

What is pintrocity?

I joined Pinterest about a year ago, thinking "how fun! Recipes digitized!" Well, some 3,000 pins later, I discovered some pins are fabulous ways to make life better or easier, and some are epic fails. Today, as I was making trix treats (more about that later), I thought, "why don't I turn my accomplishment board into a blog?" I made a board just to move pins to that had been done. But I always want to write about what happened. So this ill blog was created in my mind! I hope you enjoy!
