Pinspiration: craft time

Despite not having a Pinterest, having plenty of friends in the crafting space inspired me to attempt some projects at my own. Here are two of them!

 US Corkboard Map
Traveling a lot the past few years and recently becoming fascinated with Instagram's photo map, I wanted to create a photo map of my own for the United States.

Recipe: Corkboard, US Map, colored tacks. Place a tack in each city you have visited.
LEGO Letters
Becoming familiar with LEGO bricks at work, we have plenty of them at our desks. A friend gave me this idea from Pinterest and for a co-worker's birthday, it seemed like a great way to consolidate the bricks in one place. Although it's fun to place them in scrapbooking / scattered format, if aligned correctly, you can even build on top of them!

Recipe: LEGO bricks, wooden letter, white paint. Go to a LEGO Store & fill a bowl of bricks for $9.99. After painting a wooden letter, use mod podge to scatter LEGO bricks on the wood. Build on top accordingly.
