Saw It. Pinned It. Did It.

When I saw this new link up by two of my most favorite bloggers, Katie and Steph, I thought to myself "I have to participate".

But then I realized something

I stare at Pinterest for hours a day and am constantly pinning things however, putting those pins to use is something I have yet to do. 

One day I will.

When I own a house.

Or get married.

Or have an endless amount of free time and gift cards to Michael's. 

So you see my problem, what would I link up? 

Then I remembered..one time I saw, I pinned and I failed.

I figured that must kind of count? 

They never said you had to succeed at said pin.

It started last Christmas when my mom asked me to make a dessert. 

I instantly remembered these adorable cookies I saw on Pinterest:

Seemed pretty easy, right? 

I bought the ingredients, put on some Christmas music and got to work.

Everything was going well until I realized I bought the 'gel' version of the icing tubes. 

"can't make that big of a difference" - I thought

hold up: this post just lost its climax: I guess I was SO embarrassed I deleted the pictures but I can assure you they looked worse than both of these (at least I'm not the only one who failed):

If I ever stumble across those pictures in a trash can somewhere you best believe I will redeem by failed cookies and post them here :)

XOXO
