I’m pinning…

13 June 2011

I broke.
I joined Pinterest.
I thought it was just another time sucker, look what you “need” (but you don’t really need) type thing, but then I realized I’m already doing it. When I see a picture I love or something I want to try, I right click on it, and then save it in an inspiration folder on my computer. Now, it’s even faster: you just click on the “pin it” button on your toolbar (they will lead you through it when you join) and you can save it in a folder on your pinterest. And you’re done.
I’m loving it….


They’re not paying me one cent to say this and I do think its a little silly that you have to have an “invite” but then I guess people want to be part of the club even more? You can get an invite from someone you know is already on, or request one and it takes about a week. You can also follow other peoples pins and boards, etc. Here are mine!
I have a bunch of pictures in my inspiration folder (can you tell kitchen is on my mind right now??) that I don’t have sources for, so I’m uploading them and hoping you all may know where in the heck I got these so I can give proper credit? I’ll number them and give my thoughts.

    I don't think I have a handle...I just start looking at the people that are
    following my boards and find good stuff from them. I love the little pin it
    button~I put it on my top toolbar and just click it when I see something I
    like and away I go!
