Oh Pinterest, how I love and hate you!
A few months back, while cruising my usual crafty blogs, I saw a small button on a few suggesting that I follow them on Pinterest, and I've lost more hours to it than I truly care to admit. What is Pinterest I wondered (and you might be too) so I wandered over to their website. What I found was an internet supernova! If you don't know what Pinterest is, the best way I can describe it is as a digital corkboard. Let's say you're looking around at all your favorite websites and blogs and you find something that really tickles your fancy. Pinterest allows you to 'pin' that really cool thing onto a personal 'board'. When you go back to Pinterest, you can see your pin, and a bajillion of pins others have made. It's been a cornucopia of exciting inspiration for me.
Since I began pinning, I have made a jewelry rack out of old cabinet hardware, a few mini albums for summer vacations, a handful of art journal pages, and have used a bunch of ideas for my sons' birthday parties. It has been so amazing for me. I've found old favorites and some new blogs. And most recently, I've been inspired to start some small sewing projects. Heck, I'm even planning to make some really cool girly lotions and potions for my sisters for Christmas this year (all recipes I've found on Pinterest.) To say that I'm lovin' me some Pinterest right now would be an understatement. Really, I'm addicted to it.
