I have a habit of saving links to websites and photos I find online. I am also guilty of sending lots of emails to myself of pages that I come across and don't want to forget. Thing is, once I save the link or send the email, I pretty much forget all about that webpage or photo that I was so keen on remembering.
This is where Pinterest comes in. Pinterest allows you to create a page of visual bookmarks. If I come across photos or ideas that I want to remember, I can pin it.
Pinterest allows you to create different pinboards to better categorize your awesome finds. Not only is it a place for me to keep all the visual ideas I find online, but it is also a place to find things I would not have found otherwise. I have discovered quite a few new sites by looking at what other people pin.
Pin·board (pĭn·bôrd): n. a visual collection of things you love |
Here are a few lovelies that I have found on Pinterest:

I even came across a picture of mine that someone pinned! :-)
A bit a of a warning though.....it can become addictive.
Thanks for sharing that. I've got so many blogs and sites that my bookmarks are bursting at the seams. Like you, I hardly ever get round to looking at them again.
ReplyDeleteHi..thanks for sharing..I saw this 'Pinterest' before but had no idea what it is for..thanks u for the info..
ReplyDeleteI use springpad to bookmark things. I'm forever bookmarking recipes, crafts, and yes I too e-mail myself a lot from my phone so I can bookmark on my computer.
ReplyDeleteIs that blanket crochet or knit? Was it easy to do? I'm always looking for a pattern like that.
mom2triplets04: I am sorry I missed this comment. The blanket is crochet and is quite easy. The pattern is explained quite well and there are even pictures. The pattern can be found at http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/neat-ripple-pattern.html
