Pinterest

You open up your newest issue of Better Homes & Gardens-ok, maybe it's from a couple months back because you're a little behind on your reading, and you see a great recipe idea or maybe a really pretty bedroom color scheme or flower bed arrangement. Snip, snip. You cut out the picture. Your single snippet becomes a small pile. You then take your little collection over to a series of bulletin boards hanging on a wall, placing your new recipe on the "Food" board, the bedroom color scheme on the "Home Decor" board, and so on. Welcome to Pinterest! That's it in a nutshell except that your bulletin boards are in the Pinterest cyberspace world. As you're web browsing you have the ability to "pin" anything you think you might want to take a second look at or keep for inspiration on your designated Pinterest boards. The idea is simple, but very addicting! You can also follow other people or their specific boards-like if you really enjoy their craft ideas, but aren't big on their obsession over Marmosets Board.
It's a nice way to keep your finds organized. You can only join when you receive an invite though which shouldn't be very difficult to find. Pinterest is growing in popularity quickly! You also need to make sure you "install" (very easy) the "Pin it" button in your favorites bar so that you can pin items anytime you want. Lastly, watch out! It's highly addicting to pin items to your boards and browse other Pinterest members' boards for "repins" and "likes". Like I need another excuse to be on the computer! My poor hubby.
