For The Love Of Pinterest
Tags:I tried to resist, I really did.
I thought, "I don't need another place to mess around online."
And maybe I still don't really need another place to visit online, but Pinterest is really serving a purpose.
The purpose is inspiration.
Color inspiration. Type inspiration. Memory keeping inspiration. Cooking inspiration. Clothing inspiration. Home inspiration. Inspiring words. And stuff I just love.
It's a site to categorize and keep all those inspiring ideas in one place.
I see things online I want to remember and I "pin" them to my "boards." This is my favorite way to use it - as a home for things I'd like to remember or revisit all in one place.
I also see other cool things people are "pinning" and "re-pin" them to my own boards for safe keeping.
My collection of inspiration is growing. And just like many things, I've already gone through a couple phases. Right now I'm in the "this is super great" phase especially as we head into the holiday season. A quick search for Fall or Halloween or Christmas brings up so many fun ideas and eye-candy.
Are you on Pinterest?
A really big thank you for your kindness and support on my What Is Real Now post.

I'm with you Ali. I wanted to resist, but Moxiefab from Papercrafts kept pinning all of these wonderful images and I couldn't resist. My latest thing is altered art. From t-shirts to cardboard boxes, there are some really cool images.

I love pinterest. I am finally completing projects and recipes I have seen online instead of forgetting where I saw them. I think I am going to start blogging the "pins " I have completes to keep track!

I'm extremely addicted to Pinterest! I love it for all those reasons of course. It's so easy but also because my memory is awful and I've pushed everything I love into bookmarks/favourites. I'm http://pinterest.com/tamikkob/

i love it because it has totally replaced my "ideas" folder of .jpgs from websites long forgotten. it is a huge time sucker for me though, i could get lost on there for hours.

I adore Pinterest! My favorite part is that there is an iPhone app and when I'm ready to scrap, I can easily grab my phone and look at my inspiration vs. having to drag my laptop in there (desk space is precious!) or print out something from my desktop (paper, ink, ack!!!) Love, love, love Pinterest!

Like you,I resisted for awhile, but I love it! I am always looking for new recipes and craft projects and this forum is great for that.I have discovered some great organizational ideas and some holiday projects. I like that I can "store" all these ideas in one place. I also just love looking at some of the beautiful pictures that are posted here. I find a sense of peace just looking at these gorgeous photos. It is a nice way to end a hectic day.

I too resisted the Pinterest. Initially I figured, what am I going to do with this? I can just make bookmarks. And then it happened. One of my friends (who invited me to Pinterest) started finding all these cute things that I knew I could make. After that it was on like Donkey Kong. Since last week I've been adding around 15 pins a day. It's very addictive.

I use Pinterest. I love it. I really love how it tracks where the picture came from. Whenever I used to right click images and save them on my computer, I didn't have a method of saving the source that wasn't exhaustive to do. Pinterest keeps them tagged in that way and I appreciate it.

Yes. It is so amazing but it is also consumes so much time before you know it. Have to set a timer or a limit for myself. Truly inspirational.

I am on pinterest. I just don't take the time to do that much on there. Maybe I will more often...
Anyway - did you HAVE to remind me that we're coming into the holidays (i.e. Christmas). I'm SO not ready to go there yet! :)
