PINterest



I love pinterest!!! It is like the best site EVER!! For over a year now I have made a hobby out of blog creeping and there are soooo many awesome ideas out there for diy crafts, decorations and so much more. But with creeping on so many different blogs, I was never able to remember where I originally saw certain projects that I liked and wanted to try.

That is where pinterest comes in. :) This site basically allows you to create your own account (you have to request an invite first, I guess that way you feel cool when they give you the go ahead to join) and then you have boards (you can make as many as you want and label them however you want) and you attach this pin button to your bookmark bar. From there, whenever you are blog creeping you simply click on the image you like and "pin it" to whichever board you want it displayed on. That's it!!! Now all of those great ideas are organized in one location!


Oh, and you can also follow other people's boards and they can follow you. This means that every time you go onto your pinterest account, the homepage shows you recent pins from you and anyone you follow. So if you see something you like, all you have to do is repin it to one of your boards!!

And don't worry about being stuck with a picture of the project you liked but not having the how-to instructions so that you can re-create it...pinterest links that site that you pinned the image from so you always have a link right back to the original post! Easy peezy lemon squeezy!! :)

Happy pinning!!!!
