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.

    I can't help wondering what the future of pinterest hold...
    With some boards already containing hundreds of 'pins', how can you go back and find what you want?

    I LOVE Pintrist! I am however not very good at it yet. I have gotten better at pinning from pins already pinned, but I have not figured out how to pin anything original from my iPad2. Is it even possible? If so, could you enlighten me? I would appreciate your help. Thanks.
