I am an ambivert with introverted tendencies, which means I'm a whole mix of weird personality combinations. I wouldn't call myself outgoing, but I do love to be around people! My favorite food is peanut butter (Santa didn't believe me one year and I was sorely disappointed), and the color orange is my life-long love. I have a degree in English and a bunch of random credits in chemistry, math, art, and even drafting. Life's too short to have one single interest! I am a Photographer with a love for the unplanned. The last few years I feel like I have been able to become comfortable in my skin and have discovered a style I love, adding color into my life, and embracing high heels (and usually being the awkwardly tall person in a crowd). I've been married to Cameron for 9 years now (nearly a decade! Weird!). Darrow, our curly haired blonde boy, joined our family 2 years ago and has been stirring life up for us ever since. Ione joined out family a month early and is turning life into more of an adventure.

Emilee:
I love spontaneity more than most and run off the quip, “Eh…I’ll risk it.”. I am a hairdresser by trade, but you can often find me lurking for a deal in thrift and craft stores. I love my critters entirely way too much (not really), Peach our Airedale Terrier and Gypsy our hedgehog, you'll see them featured here occasionally! I have a degree in Environmental Sustainability and love anything even remotely biology related. I watch too much Netflix, run more than most (half-marathons) and could eat Kraft Mac’n’Cheese everyday for the rest of my life. I'm a native of New Mexico (it will always be home) and I challenge you to find a food too spicy for me. I am utterly terrified of open water, and I fall asleep in the car faster than I care to admit. My husband (Chip) and I have been together for 5 wonderfully adventure filled years and I am grateful everyday for his willingness to accept my unacceptably immature silliness. Go Phillies!

I just LOVE this page and spent about an hour rolling on the floor. Then I made my husband come and look cuz he needed to know I'm not alone. Thank you SO much for this page and I know where to send my next pinstrosity!
ReplyDeleteYeeees this is amazing! Very good and funny
ReplyDeleteI love this thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I had of seen this earlier! My son's 4th birthday party was in August - my attempt at the Jello Worms was challenging, the outcome was "interesting". Let's just say that the bowl of Jello Worms were the only thing on the food table that were left untouched. I think I frightened the children...
ReplyDeleteFound youR site through Pinterest. Even better- discovered another person with my name- Emilee!! That's the same way my name is spelled. I've never encountered anyone with the same spelling, so exciting :)
ReplyDeleteAh! Another Emilee!! There are not many of us, but I am sure you are awesome, your name has made it so! Thanks for reading!!!
ReplyDeleteWow... I finally found SOMEONE with the same name as me.. MARQUETTE!!! nice to meet you!!! You are the ONLY other person I've ever met with this name, and I'm 43!!!
ReplyDeleteI have never met anyone else named Marquette either! How fun. I love my name and I love how unique it is. Glad to find another Marquette out there.
DeleteI would like to know how you two got your name... my husband is from Marquette, MI and I wish I would have thought to name one of our daughters this.... LOVE IT!
DeleteGreat idea - and I like the photo of you two!
ReplyDeleteI learned about your blog through a friend and spent several days going through every single page!
ReplyDeleteIt sucks when a project doesn't work out as planned, but I love that people are so willing to share their misfortunes, often to the amusement of others. I am sure that I will have a submission at some point. Not to say that everything I do works, but I don't usually document the failures. ;)
Thank you for such a fun site.
I have done a similar thing on my blog. http://raynprettydesigns.blogspot.com/ I call it the Pinterest Bucket List. So many of my friends were posting how they pin all these cool things, but never do them.
ReplyDeleteSo I thought, why not blog about doing my pins, because I try a lot of them. A lot of them work, but some don't. So I just keep checking things off my Pinterest Bucket List. :)
I've enjoyed your page!
This is exactly what the world needs! Thank you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI followed some obscure pin and found your page. I spent a lot of time checking out your page and thinking, "Whew, I'm so glad I didn't try out that Pin before I saw this..." And then imagine my surprise when I came across the "About Us" page and saw your pictures and I realized OMG! That's Emilee! She used to live upstairs on Bigler Ave!! HAHAHA! Great page ladies! Thanks for the advice! :)
ReplyDelete~Stephanie :)
Stephanie! Hello! It has been a long time! Hope you and your family are doing great!! You were always such awesome neighbors! It is always fun to have people we know find out that this blog is us haha. And thank you for reading!

I want into your family, y'all are having way too much fun without me! Haha, keep up the great blog posts, I only discovered y'all about a month or so ago and now I can't miss a single post! Hugs ~ Mary
ReplyDeleteMary, we're so glad you did find us! Welcome to the Pinstrosity family!

ReplyDeleteYou guys should add Rachel to this page! So glad Pinstrosity is running again :)
ReplyDeleteAww, Cristina, *e-hugs* Thanks for being here and thinking of me. The ladies finally got my photo and silly bio up on the page. We're happy to have you as a reader! Thanks again.
DeleteYou had me at Pintrosity! After a new Xbox game came into our home for Christmas, husband is now occupied for hours. So I started checking out Pinterest. I spent about $100 at Goodwill and yards sales the weekend after following boards. Then I found you guys! Thank you for snapping me out of that. I can try some things, but I will use caution. I will submit my fails... and nails!
ReplyDeleteWelcome, welcome! We're excited to hear how your project turn out!
Delete"Go Phillies!" as in baseball?! I'm from Philadelphia :) Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteYes!! I am a HUGE Phillies phan ;) Welcome to the new blog!
