New Time Waster

... because I'm always looking for new ways to avoid pulling weeds.

I've had this blog (and others) for over 7 years, a twitter account for 4 years (but because it seems to me that twitter is more of a phone-driven social media (and I don't have a good texting phone) I have not made good use of this option, yet. I have been on facebook for about 5 years and google + for 9 days (the google + thing is mostly to impress my boys. None of my friends are there, so what's the point?) and I've been linkedin for 3 years.

And now?
Now I'm thinking of adding myself to another slice of the internet.
Pinterest.

It's like place to "pin" the things/images/ideas you find "interesting" onto a cyber/virtual cork board.
(Do you look through magazines and rip out pages and put them in an inspiration file? Or do you tack them to the wall above your desk? THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME THING, without the ripping or sharp objects.)

Go take a peak here.
This is the home page, a jumble of pinnings.
Click on a category that interests you, like say, DIY (Do It Yourself) and VOILA you are taken to a home page of recently 'pinned' projects. If you like one, click on it and VOILA you are taken to a real person's 'cork board'.You can look through their DIY projects and be inspired. If you click on the image again, you are often linked to the original site where the project was first uploaded and where you will find more details.


People?
I have spent HOURS and HOURS looking at things.

It's like having the latest decorating magazines, the latest craft magazines, the latest wedding planning magazines, ALL AT YOUR FINGERTIPS.

Want to know what's got me all inspired just this morning?
Let me show you:
