After nearly FIVE YEARS of blogging, Emily and I have finally decided to start a carnival!  You’re welcome.  This is it, baby!  We’ve got a great carnival you are going to love – one where each Wednesday we link up with posts about our favorite Pinterest find that we ACTUALLY TRIED – and that came out GREAT!  Whether you copied the pin exactly or put your own twist on it, we want to hear about it!

And we’re not too proud to beg, so please please please please PRETTY PLEASE pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease join us each Wednesday to showcase your pins that were a win.  It’s…Pin For The Wednesdays!  (FTW, yo!)

There are just a couple of rules:

2) Make sure and link back to our original Pin For the Wednesdays Post here at Mommin’ It Up!

3) In the Mr. Linky below, leave a direct link to your Pin FTWednesdays post, not to your main website.

4) Totally optional – grab our cute #PinFTW button!  The code box is over there in our sidebar —————————>

Mommin It Up

I’m going to get things started off this week by showing you what happened when I made those Pokemon cupcakes I found in this pin (see how I just linked to my original source!):

I loved the idea, but I H-A-T-E coloring frosting with food coloring. I always stain my fingers and about half my kitchen counter and in this case with the red food coloring the mess often resembles something gory, so I decided to take the photo as my inspiration but make this idea into reality a different way. Here’s how mine turned out:

 

 

And here’s how I did it!

Joshua loved these cupcakes and so did his friends. And they were very easy to decorate. Even at midnight (I was up at midnight as predicted!)

  1. what a great idea! I needed some incentive for blogging about some of my successful Pinterest discoveries!! 🙂 and the Land’s End incentive!! great bonus 🙂

  2. I don’t blog, so I can’t link up, but I think this is a GREAT carnival idea, and I’ll definitely be clicking thru to read everyone’s success stories and tips!

  3. I’ve made several things (ready to eat cookie dough – two diff. recipes); a couple home decor ideas; home organization ideas (bag holder from Ikea doubles as a wrapping paper holder); and a couple other things I’m sure. Tonight, pinspired to do the Samoa bars I pinned earlier this week. 🙂
