pinterest can be deceiving...

i love pinterest. i do. thanks to pinterest i've made all kinds of delicious recipes and cute crafts! but sometimes it can give you a false sense of craftiness. you go online and see these creative pins that really, very crafty, talented people have put together and think oh that looks so easy, i can do that! but if you're like me, a lot of times you can't.

over the past couple months i've had a couple fails with crafty pinterest projects and the latest one came this past week at the ward christmas party. i was asked to bring a treat, and knowing that i was going to be working all day, i decided to do something very simple...or so i thought. it was not easy, it was not fast, and it did not turn out nearly as cute as the original pin...

the original pin from pinterest, looks easy and cute right?

this is what happened when i tried to replicate the above pin.
not so cute.

haha, feel free to laugh at my "snowmen" a few of them look like they could be demon ghosts for halloween, some are mutilated, and a couple are missing eyes...i think i've finally learned my lesson that i need to be more realistic about my crafting abilities when i'm trying to copy pinterest!
