I found a dimond mine...

Guess what I discovered? Go on guess. Pinterest! Yay, joy and anything else that describes ecstacy. It is a treasure trove of interesting things and items and it is not limited to time and space it seems. I am constantly amazed at the variety of items that are pinned on the boards by all those who are part of Pinterest. It amazes me even more when someone pins something I have pinned. The only problem is there is so much out there, you can get lost in the pins. For instance, I have a board for recipes and once you start looking at other pinners and their boards you can spend hours, even days drooling over all the deliciousness on display. Not only that, but once you do decide to "repin" you then have to decide if it goes to "Recipes", or should you post that pin under "Christmas", "Thanksgiving", "Valentine's Day" or a host of other boards.
I am very new to Pinterest, but I love the fact that I can group my pins under specific items of interest to me. My boards reflect me in a very personal way: my joy of cooking, my love for nature, my artsy-craftyness, my love of creating and I have only begun to explore the possibilities.
Sharing pins with others of like mind or interest opens up all kinds of avenues to interact with others and explore even further options I may never have found on my own. Pinterest allows me to find ideas, thoughts, skills and more and learn and grow in a new way.
Thanks Pinterest for sharing and allowing all of us to pin.

  1. I share your addiction! The reason I love Pinterest so much is that I used to bookmark things that I wanted to remember or try in the future. The problem was that I would go down my list of bookmarks and could not remember why I bookmarked it. I would have to open each bookmark just so I could see if I remembered why I bookmarked it. With Pinterest, you're basically bookmarking a picture, so it is so much easier to know why you wanted to remember it. It's basically a massive self-improvement site, and I love it!
    Beautiful picture on your header, by the way.
