1. A new (reaffirmed) love for writing with Ultra Fine Tip Sharpies.
How does it work?
You get a little button on your favorites bar (much like the CraigsEasy button, if you did that) and then you can *pin* images and place them onto different boards in your collection. Its super easy.
Why is pinterest so great?
It just is.
- I don’t have to save images on my computer anymore, freeing up precious hard drive space – (and you don’t have to worry about a crash).
- I can save images anywhere (home or work) and they all go to the same place.
- It keeps the source of the image. So if I’m posting an image of a DIY project into my ‘Thing to Make’ board, I can always click on the image when I actually get around to wanting to make said item and get the directions. No more bookmarking tutorials. I would also think this would make a great cookbook…..I may need to start a food board.
- You can share with other people and other people can see your collections. I signed up using my twitter account so I’m automatically following the people I follow on twitter who also have a Pinterest account (and you don’t have to ask them to follow you, or request to be their friend or anything :)). You can also follow other people whose collections, or single boards, strike your fancy.
Basically it’s a visual reminder of a million things I like, in one place, that is easy to access and contribute to. It’s a virtual sketchbook and I’m obsessed.
I have 5 invites to give away – who wants one?
Ooo, that sounds super cool. I'd like an invite please!
ReplyDeleteOoh, sweet. I'd love an invite.
ReplyDeleteI keep reading about how awesome this is... can I have one?
ReplyDeleteHi! I started following your blog after seeing your beautiful wedding photos by Meredith. I'd love an invite if you still have some left!
ReplyDeleteMe! I would love one!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're loving Pinterest! I'm totally hooked, too :)
ReplyDeleteDang... you probably gave them away already. I got on the "waiting list" yesterday because I didn't have an invite from a member.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Love the idea of saving everything you want from online! Also, I love pens too. I wish I had more reason actually write things down.
ReplyDeleteif someone who got one of the invites and wants to share one of their invites that would be fabulous.
ReplyDeleteC- I use Evernote for recipes (search able and I can bring it up on my iPad in the kitchen :-) You can have an iPad even if you are not a Mac girl.
Sounds amazing - my hard drive is choking on my inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI'd love an invite... any other way for people to get one?
ReplyDelete@ Tara - I think you can request one directly from their site. Or, ask someone above who got one, they should receive 5 invites to give away as well :)
