August Pinterest Party ~ Idaho

** This post may contain affiliate links **

I took the month of July off from doing any Pinterest parties since I was traveling so much. We were in Utah until almost the middle of July, home for a week, and then we left to go to Northern CA so I could attend girl's camp and volunteer on rappelling staff - hooray!  I did do a Pinterest party in August up in Idaho, so keep reading for a recap of that.

June Pinterest Party - Utah!

I hosted a Pinterest party at my friend Melissa's house, in Utah, when I was there visiting for a few weeks, in town for different events. I thought, why not throw a Pinterest party as well! So I did. Huge thanks to the 2 that came, we sure missed those who were not able to make it. Keep reading to see what we made and what we ate.

Alright crafty friends! This is my first Pinterest party in Utah for the year and I was really excited to be able to host one up there again. I kept the theme spring-themed because I had found a lot of cool crafts that worked. Keep reading to see what we made and what we ate!

Welcome to another recap of a 2022 Pinterest Party! 3 months in to the year and we've done a party every month so far. Hoping to get Utah on the schedule soon for a party and who knows where else this year? Keep reading to see what we ate and what we made.

Valentine's / Self-Care / Self - Love Pinterest Party!

  

The theme for January's Pinterest party was Valentine's (of course!) + self-care and self-love. The board I made up of ideas and inspiration is linked here. I feel like things came full circle this month when I made the decision to switch the party to virtual - that's what I was doing a year ago! Craziness. A couple of the crafters who had RSVP'd were not feeling up to par so it seemed best to do things this way.

Christmas & Disney Themed Pinterest Party ~ California!

 

**This post may contain affiliate links**

I can't believe I made it through another whole year of Pinterest parties! Although I did continue doing them virtually for a bit, I was very stoked to finally switch back to hosting them in real life. They're still not perfect and I always think of ways I can improve them (after I do them of course) but keep reading to see what we ate and what we made!

Christmas Pinterest Party ~ ARIZONA!

 

 

I was going to Arizona for Pinners Conference in Scottsdale so I decided to see if any friends might be interested in coming to a Pinterest party while I was in town and ta-da, it worked out and my friend Rebecca was so kind to let me host it at her house - eve
n though she was out of town and didn't get back until the party was almost over.

Favorite Things August Pinterest Party

 Another brand-new theme for this month's Pinterest party! I may have done a similar themed party but it has been a number of years. Time for a refresh. Keep reading to see what we made and what we ate.

Christmas in July Pinterest Party

 

**This post may contain affiliate links**

Sooo, there has been quite a lot happening this summer. To start, the last Pinterest party that happened was in May.  I had planned to do one for June but had 2 camping trips, a hot air balloon event and an unexpected family funeral in Northern California. So that pushed out any plans I'd made for doing a party that month. Now - July - almost over! I was gone for the holiday, then went up to Utah and a day later drove to Northern California again for another week of girls camp. I badly wanted to do a Christmas in July theme since somehow I've never done that before! But with very limited time to plan, it just didn't turn out like I had hoped in some ways. Keep reading though to see what we made and what we ate....

Garden Pinterest Party!

 

  This was the first Pinterest party for Utah for the year! Only two months in, not too shabby, eh? This month's theme was Garden Party! Which is a * brand-new* theme and one that I got pretty excited about.

Garden Party Pinterest Board

We pulled ideas from the board above and I was able to deliver the craft kits to everyone while I was in Utah. The party happened from my she-shed here in CA a few days after I got home.

First Ever - Virtual Pinterest Party 2020

 

**This post may contain affiliate links**

While I was in Idaho for Thanksgiving, I made the decision to jump to doing Pinterest parties virtually starting in December instead of January due to covid. Parties are soo much more fun (imo) in real life but I didn't want to completely stop doing them (like unfortunately happened over the summer) so the only other option there is right now is to try and do them virtually. This proves tricky in a lot of ways and I was nervous to start up this way of doing things but it worked out pretty decent. Keep reading to see what we made and ate.

Christmas / Disney Pinterest Party

 

 **This post may contain affiliate links**

Thrilled to be able to do another in-person Pinterest party. I kept the group small again and the theme, as you can see, was Disney crafts and Christmas crafts.  We ended up with 2 Disney crafts, 1 Christmas and pretty much all Disney themed food. So funny. Keep reading to see what we made and what we ate!

 

Halloween / Fall Themed Pinterest Party!

**This post may contain affiliate links**

I am super excited to share a Pinterest party I was able to host this month - the first one since February! It's been a long break, one I was a little happy to have, I'll admit, but also very sad that it lasted this long. No more breaks! I am going to do Pinterest parties at least once a month again. Here in CA or Utah or maybe a new state! Keep reading to see what we ate and made at this party.

Utah Self Care Self Love Pinterest Party

  

My sister Laura was so kind to let me host my first Pinterest party of 2020 in Utah at her house in West Jordan. Sadly I didn't bring my Pinterest party banner but we still had a good turn out cool crafts and lots of yummy foods. Keep reading to see what we ate and made!

California Valentine Themed Pinterest Party!

*This post contains affiliate links*

I couldn't wait to host the first Pinterest party of 2020 here in Ridgecrest, CA out in my beloved she shed. The theme was Valentine's and in past years I've struggled to find good crafts that aren't too kid'ish but this year, there were so many good ideas I had trouble narrowing it down!

Christmas Pinterest Party 2.0

** This post contains affiliate links **

This was the last Pinterest party for 2019. Oh my. It was fairly well attended. One person had to cancel due to an emergency and another friend canceled due to being sick. So..that was a bummer, especially last minute but we made the best of it. 1 person came who has come before and 3 new people showed up which was cool! Keep reading to see what we made and what we ate.
