For The Love Of Pinterest
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.
Yes, I have been a member for a while, but just today, got totally sucked in after reading this post. Once I started, I just couldn't stop! haha

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! :)

You took the words right out of my mouth. ;) My sister in law sent me an invite back in early July and I politely "ignored" it. I believe my exact words, to myself, were: I don't need another thing keeping me online. :)
But, like you, I have found it inspiring. I have the places I want to visit pinned, the places I have been pinned, the craft projects I want to try pinned, the recipes that look fun pinned, and so on. It has become a to-do/try list of sorts and a reminder of all the beauty - people, places and art - out there.
I must admit, I am hooked. Well, until they start charging big money for it. ;)

My biggest time suck since Facebook. :) I'm challenging myself to make 2-3 recipes from it a week tho, so I don't feel like my time is completely wasted everytime I log on!

I like to look at the Pineinterest site, but like some of the other comments above I don't quite understand how it works. How do you get an invitation to join? I would like a "pineinterest for dummies class"
I do enjoy browsing the site and they have wonderful tips. I just look!
