I'm addicted and treat it like window shopping! No huge credit card bills at the end and a running list of craft projects I want to try.

LOVE it!

I use it to remember links and ideas. I'm not much of a crafter, but it makes me think like I could be!

I use it for Tarot, recipes, crafts, decorating ideas, clothing ideas, things I will spend my lottery winnings on... lol

And I've bought things based on Pinterest finds.

I use it for craft ideas, home decorating ideas, jewlery making ideas, simple clothing to make ideas.

I really love the site!
I think it shows an awesome reflection of what a person is really like, take a look at their boards, their likes, their food tastes etc!
Also, I look at how people take pics of their stuff, and I try to duplicate that look, for stuff I want to sell on ebay, yardsellr, copious and other sites like that!

I'll follow you if you would like to follow me!!!

I'm on it, I haven't even started looking at the crafty stuff yet.

I find all the pictures a lot to deal with so I used it as reminders of stuff I like and stuff I want to share.

I've started a new board tonight, copy cat crafts!
I find a lot of stuff at Pier 1, anthropologie and other sites with lovely things for the home, or clothes, or jewlery.

WAY out of my price range for sure!
I guess I have expensive fancy taste!
Anyway, I am pretty wicked with my sewing machine and can pretty much whip up anything that I like from the fancy shops, for WAY cheaper, and just as nice!
Plus, I can make what I want in the colors I want, and when I get bored of what I have made, I pass it on to someone else, and I don't have buyers remorse for spending $400 on a duvet cover, that I will be bored of next year!

Some of the things I have tried have to do with gardening and growing one's own food.
I have done the green onion thing, and the celery thing.
My beans are soaking for sprouting, and I have all my tomato and pepper plants started.
Started in the cardboard egg containers, repurposed for this gardening adventure!
They are growing like crazy and I feel oh so Goddess~y!!!
So many good ideas, and things make a person say, oh wow, why didn't I think of that!!!


Growing more celery!

I love it, like Medusa I use it mostly like window shopping, I have a board that is for cupcakes that capture my attention, a board for wild, crazing and disturbing things that i find really interesting and a few other boards for like house hold items i'd love to have some day!

I am hopelessly devoted to Pinterest. I've heard it described as window shopping, and as fantasy football for people who don't like football . . . for me it's like a virtual visual all you can eat buffet of eye candy and I can't stop filling my plate with yummy goodness.

I love this site and I'm very addicted.
It is eye candy, as Truly Scrumptious said.
I have found my way to Lowe's and Hobby Lobby a time or two for small purchases to craft my own little treasures.

I use it, I like it.

I try to pace myself and only visit it two or three times a week.

It is a great way to scape and not spend any money.

I think it is perhaps the greatest tool/enabler for procrastinators like myself.

All a person needs is to be on pinterest and have your email, then they can send you an invite. Then it can take days to be approved.

I think this describes it best!
Then I am not taking up space in my computer bookmarking everything, and I can remember better by the picture reference! I can put the "bookmarks" in catagories and don't have to wrack my brain as to why I have marked something to begin with!

Just my 2 cents!

04-06-2012, 09:57 AM
naw, no tar & feathers for you dear...I THINK it is a space with many interests for folks, help organizing things, etc...and one can "pin" something they like..of interest, hence "pinterest nic"...and it is a fun way to surf and shop all without spending money. I know it has recipes, crafts, tips, and a variety of other things...I only cruised it briefly....lol..am waiting on an invite...someone else can probably tell you more about it...how are you BTW...take care and have a great weekend...Clay

Yes!
Join through Twitter instead. That's what I did because I also didn't want to switch to timeline . . . when you sign up for the Pinterest account you have a choice between Facebook and Twitter. Happy pinning!

Timeline is unavoidable. I have a separate login for Twitter and for Facebook and for Pinterest. But it's set so I can tell it to tweet or post to Facebook. :D
