Hello again! I’ve been told that I need to write about a website I introduced to Sarah- one that I’m in love with! The site is called Pinterest; it’s basically a site where you can create free inspiration boards. It doesn’t sound like much, I know, but trust me the possibilities are endless. I have spent hours putting together boards of my favorite things.

I originally started using Pinterest to organize my wedding inspiration pictures, and then I became addicted. Pinterest is full of amazing, creative wedding ideas, from “Do it Yourself” to beautiful Etsy products and so much more.

Ok, so it works like this. You request an invite to start an account, which can easily be linked to your Facebook and Twitter accounts. When you connect your Pinterest account to your Facebook or Twitter account, it automatically links you to your friends who are using Pinterest.

Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards for all kinds of things – from planning their weddings, and decorating their homes, to organizing their favorite recipes.

Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests. Pinterest will even automatically suggest new pins to you biased on what you have already posted.

Last but not least you can continue to fuel the addiction by downloading their handy “Pin it” button. This allows you to pin pictures you love while surfing the web. You just click the “Pin it” button, click the picture you would like to pin, then select the board you want to pin it to, and it does all the rest- even cites your sources with a handy link to the original webpage above your picture.

Pinterest’s says this about their mission: “Our goal is to connect everyone in the world through the ‘things’ they find interesting. We think that a favorite book, toy, or recipe can reveal a common link between two people. With millions of new pins added every week, Pinterest is connecting people all over the world based on shared tastes and interests.”

This site is a haven for creatively minded people who love to share their inspirations with others. Beware though, it can become addicting to look at beautiful pictures and artistic “How To” projects. You’ll soon find yourself with a list of new art projects you want to try and make for yourself.
