Have you been invited to Pinterest? Have you even heard of it? I don't think you could be online much without being aware of this new phenomenon.
It is addicting, mesmerizing, and maybe even useful in some regard. I love it because it is a place to store all the ideas, faces, places, patterns, art, etc you can discover on the INTERNET. You know what I mean: we search and find and forget sometimes what or where in the heck that jewel of a place was when we want it. Now you just go to Pinterest and retrieve that thing that was so precious to you at that moment awhile back.
Not only that, but other people start giving you an ego boost by repinning your pins! When they re-pin you can reciprocate by visiting their "boards". And from their boards it is all over time-wise. I end up linking up all over the place, clicking on the tutorials, on other people's blogs and the beat goes on and on until the bell rings and it's time to go in figuratively speaking.
If you have hobbies, if you like to get home improvement ideas, if you appreciate color & art, if you love to try new recipes, if you are into gardening........ Go for Pinterest! You won't be sorry.
However, you may not have time to actually use any of those great ideas because you are so darn busy finding new ideas. But, again; it will be there waiting for you on your boards! Other Pinterest members can repin your pins, they can "like" your pins, and they can "follow" your pins.

So when you are invited to join, give it a whirl! If you aren't invited, you will be. I will invite you; just ask. Above all, just enjoy what you find. It has to be good for you, right?
