Life Before Pinterest

I pulled out my handy notebook the other day to find a recipe. I thought I'd take out the ones I love, look them up on the Internet, and pin them. Many many years ago I started a notebook to keep all the handy recipes, workouts, makeup and hair tips, and decorating/DIY ideas that came in all my magazines. I spent hours cutting or tearing them out and organizing them with dividers. So now as I come across the recipes I really like, I look them up and Pin them. I know I should really recycle this notebook but I just can't bring myself to do it. Sometimes I have mild hoarder tendencies. I wonder if anyone else out there was OCD enough to keep and organize helpful information from their magazines.

This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
