I LOVE Pinterest | Friday Fun

July 29, 2011 in Blog | 8 Comments

Y’all know that I always love to be on top of the newest fun websites and if you haven’t heard of Pinterest yet… well, you’re in for a huge treat. And it’s just perfect for today’s Friday Fun post!

What is Pinterest?

Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes.

Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests.

Their Mission

Our goal is to connect everyone in the world through the ‘things’ they find interesting. We think that a favorite book, toy, or recipe can reveal a common link between two people. With millions of new pins added every week, Pinterest is connecting people all over the world based on shared tastes and interests.

Confession

I’ll admit, I am kind of addicted… and by kind of I mean I really, really love this site. This website has really filled a void for me in my online browsing world. I love to read and follow all different kind of blogs, but inevitably whenever I would try to remember a craft, a design idea or something that I wanted the photo of, I couldn’t remember where I had first seen it.

ENTER PINTEREST.

Now, I not only get to keep track of my fun ideas, inspirations and dreams for the future, I get to follow my friends’ boards too. It’s like one giant, beautiful pinning party.

Ways I use Pinterest…

Keep track of Photo Display inspirations I love and eventually want to replicate in our house or my studio:

I also keep track of Photo Projects that I will tackle one day like this amazing Photo Wall from Freshhomeideas.com, this photo collage letter – perfect for a wedding gift!- from somewhatsimple.com or this photo transfer lamp shade also from freshhomeideas.com.

Those are just two of the photography-related boards that I have on Pinterest but you can Follow Me on Pinterest by clicking that button!

But first… If you’re not on Pinterest and you want to be invited, use the Contact Me form and send me your email address that you want your invitation sent to, and I’ll send one your way!
