Battle Five Results: Family Feet (Sort of)

feet pinterest challengeOkay, so our dog didn’t exactly cooperate.

We tried several times to get him to lay on his back and put his hind paws up on the couch, but he was having absolutely none of it.

Hence, our photo.

Perhaps not the next framer, but definitely laughter inducing.

Let it be known, we have a bigger, harder to handle dog than the Wades. Just sayin’.

Becky and I give it a B+ for kid fun (there was giggling involved).

A B for easiness.

And a B- for beauty/resemblance to the original.

Join us next week for our 6th Pinterest Battle! It’s Becky’s turn to throw down a challenge. I’m ready!

Battle Five: A Feet Photo

It’s my turn to throw down a challenge. So for this week’s battle, I’m making feet the name of the game, found on this blog.

This should be interesting, folks. But if we can pull it off, I think it would make for a really cute family photo.

The questions is, who’s going to participate with us?

Even if it’s just you and your four-legged furry friend – all you need are some feet (or paws) and a camera.

Let it be known that my son is a 4-year old wiggle worm and our dog will not be amused. So I think it’s only fair that I get some sort of handicap going into this battle. And I’m not saying this because Becky Wade is currently smoking me in this Pinterest war. Nope. Not one bit. 😉

Let’s Talk: Seen any cute family photo ideas lately?

So You Had a Bad (Hair) Day

It’s okay, really. You can.

The Pinterest Battle this week was simple. Braid sections of hair. Run a flat iron over the braids. And voila! Pretty waves.

I wouldn’t call these pretty waves so much as a crimp gone horribly wrong.

Needless to say, I wore my hair up in a ponytail.

You might be wondering….how did my good friend Becky Wade fare in this particular battle?

Answer: Better than me.

Guess who else joined the fun? Becky’s mom (don’t they look alike?) and her daughter! Becky and I decided that her 12-year old totally pulls it off. Those are what I call pretty waves.

Four challenges in to our eight-week Pinterest War and I have a feeling I’m digging myself into a hole.
