My New Addiction

by Missy on March 24, 2011

I’m a hoarder of pretty pictures. Pictures of what I want my house to look like. Pictures of cute little knick-knacks. Pictures of clothes. Pictures of anything really as long as it’s pretty. Here’s just one of my binders full of magazine clippings.

And I won’t even get into how many folders I have full of images on my computer. It’s out of control guys. And you know the worst of it? Do I ever go back and look at any of it? Nope. I just throw it in a folder all messy and unorganized and forget about it.

And then I discovered Pinterst. Who ever came up with this idea is a genius!!! I’m sure that most of you have at least heard of it by now, but not let me show you.

See all those little boards? They’re my inspiration boards and I love them! Every time I see a picture of something that I love I just have to click “pin it” on my tool bar and I can stick that picture to any of my boards I want. And guess what? I actually do go back and look through them and use them for inspiration! They don’t get forgotten. And the best part? I can go look at other peoples inspiration boards and pin from them too!

There are still a few things that I haven’t gotten the hang of yet but it is so much fun!

You can follow my pins here. And if you’d like a little help getting started Beth at The Stories of A to Z has a great video tutorial.

I LOVE that you posted this because it is our newest obsession! Emily may get fired because she is addicted! Such a great inspirational tool for craft brains

I am totally with you on this one. The amount of images I download off the internet to add to my ‘ideas and inspirations’ folder is ridiculous.

And maybe I shouldn’t mention that I once used an entire cartridge of ink printing all of it off (my husband has yet to buy me a new ink cartridge and that was probably a year ago).

When I found Pinterest it was like finding out that heaven had been hiding in WWW world all this time. Here’s my link—http://pinterest.com/cannwin/
