obsession with pinterest

I have a minor problem.  I have an obsession with Pinterest.  Pinterest is now one of the top ten social networks according to USATODAY.  It is a place where you can organize and share everything that you like and have an interest in. I see it kind of like a scrapbook of the things I like and want.  I first learned about Pinterest when my roommate sent me an email containing a picture with a slogan.  I said, "Where did you find this?!"  She told me, and I started checking it out.  You have to ask to join Pinterest, so after a few days of waiting I got my acceptance email and started pinning away.  I am following friends and people who share my interests.

I started making my Boards and started determining how I would sort my pins.


So far my boards are:

  • travel the world
  • fashion & style
  • home decor ideas
  • accessories
  • products i love
  • sayings for life
  • photography
  • hardcover
  • tv & movies
  • music
My boards have been changing as I see more people's boards, and I change the titles when I see a catchy one.  I am really excited because it has given me motivation to do new things.  A cool thing about the pins is that if you click on them a lot of them have links on how to do things.  For example, I found this awesome center piece that had candles in a vase surrounded by corks.  I clicked on the link and it had step by step how to create it.  

This is just one of my new found interests this year!
