I’m Finally On Pinterest!

Most of you have probably heard of Pinterest by now, right?  Pinterest is a virtual pinboard where you can organize and share all of the beautiful, inspiring, funny, and awesome things you find on the web.  You can create boards for various projects, organize recipes, and organize ideas for different categories (like Kids Art, Baking, Things That Make Me Laugh, etc).  You can also browse other people’s boards for even more inspiration.

I’ve known about Pinterest for a while, but just as I did with Facebook, I resisted it for the longest time.  One more time- sucker I didn’t need.  But then last week, I begged a friend for an invite, and now I’m hooked!

Not only have I found lots of great new ideas, but I LOVE having all of my ideas saved in an orderly and visually appealing way.  It took me a little while to get the hang of pinning things, but now that I have, there’s no stopping me!  I’m even going back through all of my old Google Bookmarks (and i have TONS) and transferring them to Pinterest for easy searching.

Here are a few of my boards, if you’re interested:

You can follow me on Pinterest HERE.  (And hopefully I’ll have a new little blog button for that soon!)  If you’d like a Pinterest invitation, just let me know and I’ll send you one.  (You can also request an invite directly from Pinterest, but I had trouble with that.)

    Hi I asked about an invite on Facebook this morning you sent me a link but my dear Hubby caught me playing before church and I did not get a chance to send you my email. When I went back to fb to try I can’t open my links ugggghhh fb. My email is chorant97@yahoo.com. Thank you! Charlotte:)

    I’ve resisted all summer, but now you’ve convinced me that I should join, too!  Can you please send me an invite?  Oh, and if you make that paper umbrella wreath, just be warned that it will fade in the sun.  Unfortunately, I know from experience…

    I’ve been following your blog for a while (I think I found it because of the awesome Halloween wreath you made last year – I love it!)  I’ve borrowed some of your sensory bin and craft ideas to use with my daughter; she particularly loves to play with colored vinegar and baking soda.  Thanks for all the ideas!

    Marcie,

    I resisted since January, if you can believe it.  But I can definitely see the usefulness of Pinterest now.  I just sent you an invite!

    The paper umbrella wreath is SO cute.  Maybe it would be good for a summer mantle or party decoration.  My toothpick flag wreath seems to have faded in the sun, too.

    Thank You I recieved the link and can’t wait to start exploring.  I followed you 🙂

    Well as a matter of fact I did. For some reason that email is refusing to let me in (I don’t use it often, mostly for memberships so as to cut down on junk mail in my primary email) Would you mind terribly sending me an invite to jfol242@gmail.com? So sorry to have you waste an invite. :-/ I truly appreciate it!

    Sara,

    I just resent it.  Hope it works this time!

  12. Sara permalink

    Much thanks!

  13. I absolutely love Pinterest! It is dangerously addicting though! I’m following you now!

    And Pinterest offers buttons for blogs on their site, in case you wanted to grab one from there. That’s what I did!

    Thanks, Cara!  I love Pinterest and can’t wait to get started creating my own pinboard.  I asked for an invitation last night and received an invite this morning! Yay!

  15. Hi Cara, I totally understand about resisting but I succumbed to Pinterest a couple of months ago and I am loving it to the max!  I am under Nostalgic Dreams or NostalgicDream1 on Pinterest and Twitter.  I have been fortunate to find some awesome ideas, recipes and things that uplift my spirit.  Glad you gave in!  ~Elizabeth
