I finally made the salad in a jar. I posted about it on the main forum a while back, and I finally have time to post it here, too. Woohoo!
This was delicious, and I’m hoping to make it regularly.

Looks so yummy!
I need to pick two items from my Pinterest for May! I keep adding to my Pinterest so thanks for reminding me to actual craft something from it! ha

@MamaRhi I like the paper dolls!!! Really neat.
I completed another pin I think last week but life has been very hectic with the house under construction and a bit of an emergency with my son. He broke his front tooth, did a number on his lower lip and chin, and he’s autistic and has a very difficult time dealing with pain, so there was a lot of energy used up on just helping him to stay as calm as possible given the circumstances… I feel like I’m still recovering from the ordeal…
Everyone’s OK now and I feel like I can take a breather and a break and post some stuff
I finally made the “vegan” “tuna” salad; it was pretty good but I’m not sure if I’ll make it again; it felt like a lot of effort for just “pretty good” results.
I also made more of the salad in a jar, but of course my husband doesn’t like tomatoes and my daughter doesn’t like corn, so I modified each jar for each person… at least it’s a quick thing.
And I hadn’t listed this as one of my pins, but my son’s birthday party was this past Saturday (thankfully we were able to get his tooth fixed before the party…) and I had looked up some ideas on how to make a minecraft-inspired cake. So here’s another completed pin that wasn’t really on the list I shared earlier, but I’m still counting it, lol!
The “earth blocks” are vegan chocolate cake with buttercream icing (not vegan); I made both. The “sand blocks” are store-purchased rice krispies and the “water blocks” are blue jello made from the jello packet.

May Theme
We’ve had a rough few weeks for various reasons, and I missed putting up a poll and announcing a theme for May.
Since it’s already May 12th, I’m just going to choose a theme, and I’ll try to do better for next month.
May’s theme is 
SPRING
Feel free to use this theme as inspiration for your Pinterest crafting, or ignore it all together. Post your projects; we want to cheer you on

Yes! It’s a low key craftalong; anyone who wishes can join.
Unfortunately I may not be able to provide monthly themes, but crafting your pins and posting them here is still encouraged.
While I love this forum and want to post more often, including encouraging these craftalongs… life has been somewhat difficult for me this spring/summer, and my focus is on my family at this time.
I wrote about it in the creative writing thread if anyone is curious.

I think we’ve all been a bit busy but I’m still using pinterest a lot for ideas. So I’m still up for it!
Do you have any pins you want to craft? I’m starting to think of fall and Halloween crafting and there are a lot of interesting pins on my fall board.

My Dollar Tree version. It was slim pickings art our store, but I spent about $10 for the florals and the plastic skulls. The container is a plastic ice tea bottle that I cut.

I just got what the store had. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on Halloween decor for such a short period. Thanks!

Thanks. I want to add orange or purple flowers but Dollar tree didn’t have any. I found some lime green ones in my stash that I will try out today.
Meanwhile, I got another Pinterest post completed. I made a new board showing my inspiration . Wow…two done out of a zillion! ha ha ha
I have another picked out to finish this week. My goal is to get at least 5 pinned items done before next year!

I received an email saying one of my pins has been removed because it contains “adult content"!
I was very surprised as my boards are full of craft patterns and recipes and nothing remotely adult can be found there. There’s a report you can download and apparantly it’s because I pinned a bra-sewing tutorial…
There is a woman in a bra in the picture, and you can see the shape of her breasts, but the picture is of a long-line, full cup, plain white cotton bra. There are a million of fashion pictures on pinterest way more revealing than this one. There’s apparantly an appeal process, does anyone have experience with that? It looks like it may be a hassle, but I pinned this website specifically because I’m interested in making my own bra and this seemed like a good source for info (note to self: next time, bookmark a website instead of pin!)

I have had over a dozen such pin removals (all craft or home decorating pins) all claiming adult content. I don’t remember if i ever challenged it, to be honest. It felt futile.
