Do You Pinterest?

The new button on my sidebar is for Pinterest - which some of you may already do but which is fairly new to me.  But I think it's the best thing since sliced bread!  :)

Pinterest is a website that you register for (free) and which allows you to collect things you see on the internet, blogs, etc. that you want to remember but never do.  Or is that just me?  On your page on Pinterest you have bulletin boards where you can "pin" these things you see and want to remember...like recipes, quilts, tutorials, crafts, ways to organize, furniture, anything!  When you  put the "pin it" button on your tool bar you just click it and it will "pin" that website to whatever board you designate.  You can follow people who have similar tastes as you or you can just jump around and look at other's boards by searching for whatever category you want.  I recently searched embroidery and found some great ideas!

I'm probably not explaining it very well but take a look at it and if I can answer any questions just e-mail me.  I don't know much but I'm learning.  I don't get anything if you sign up, I just love it and think you will too.

If you want take a look at my boards to see what I mean:  http://pinterest.com/mbushretired/.  Click on the thumbnail pictures to see them a little larger.  But beware, it's addicting!

  9. I'm "scared" to visit. I'm sure I'll get hooked and then spend even more too much time on the computer! Interesting, but Pinterest is the brain child of my opthamologist's (here in Des Moines, Iowa) son (in California).

  10. Oh My word, I LOVE Pinterest!! I'm just learning how to do it. I want one of those little red buttons on my blog and I still don't know how to "pin" things from other blogs that aren't already on someone else's board.
