Curse you Pinterest!!!

They say the first step is admitting you have a problem, so here it goes:

My name is Anna and I am addicted to Pinterest!!  HAHA!!!  I can't believe such a simple sight as www.pinterest.com could consume so much of one's time!!!  These are the things I have found recently that I had to keep:

These are the cutest little butterflies that are made out of children's feet pressed onto small canvases.  I am going to have to do this with either my son or my class!  I have always loved artwork like this!!

I really liked this creative way of creating storage out of baskets.  They said that they just hung them with nails!  I have a small master bathroom, so doing something like this can be decorative and functional.  I wish I would have thought of this when I was in college and living in apartments with tiny bathrooms!!

I can not wait to try these!!!  I found this on Pinterest, but it comes from the cute blog Texas Cottage.   Here is the recipe:

S'more Cups
7 whole graham crackers (1 cup finely crushed)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
4 bars (1.55 oz each) milk chocolate candy, divided
12 large marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place graham crackers into a large resealable plastic bag. Finely crush into crumbs. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and butter in a small bowl.
Place 1 tablespoon of crumb mixture in each cup of a mini muffin pan. Press crumbs to form shallow cups. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling. Meanwhile, break two of the candy bars into rectangles. Remove pan from oven; place one rectangle into each cup.

Cut marshmallows in half crosswise using shears dipped in cold water. Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup. Return to oven 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows are slightly softened. Remove pans from oven to cooling rack; cool 15 minutes. Carefully remove cups from pan. Cool completely.
Break remaining candy bars and place in small microwavable bowl. Microwave on high 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 20 seconds. Dip the top of each marshmallow in melted chocolate. Turn top-side up and let stand 40 to 60 minutes or until set. Makes 24 cups.
Note: Store the cups in a single layer in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Freezing is not recommended.

For a richer chocolate flavor, substitute dark chocolate candy bars for the milk chocolate.

Each cup has 100 calories and 6 g fat.
