Group Boards

I've been invited to join a couple of group boards.  This is new to me, but something I'm finding enjoyable, and is another source for pins!

The first board is titled "Color Our World"

and contains some wonderful, vivid colors and subjects.

Next, I was invited to join a board titled "Olympics"

Today I got this image off Facebook, and have to publish it so I can pin it to the board.  :)   Hope everyone has a sense of humor.

Changing My Ways


I'm always looking for things to pin to my various boards.

Facebook has some great photos posted, but we are unable to pin directly from FB.  I've learned to download the photo onto my desktop.  But I have to post the picture to a website in order to pin it.

Guess it's time to get an account with Pisca or Shutterfly or one of the other photo account services.

Just one more thing I have to find time to research.  Then it's one more login I have to remember along with the password.  I hate that passwords have become so complex.  I need a memory boost just to remember all the various passwords!  :)

Meanwhile, I want to pin these photos, so I'm publishing them here so I can get them onto my Flutter-By's board.

I'm Back!

I'm Back!  It's been a little while since I've been able to access my blog!  We moved the end of April, and when I set the computer up in the new apartment, it wouldn't start up.  Yes, it was old.  And, YES, I have had problems with it for a few years, but I didn't think it would just up and die on me. (sniff...sniff)

With all the moving expenses, I couldn't afford a new computer.  I looked at some old ones, but in the end I got an ipad.  I thought I could use it as a computer and it cost less than a new computer, so I bought it.

While the ipad is fun, it is NOT like a computer and I soon realized I still needed a computer.  For starters, I couldn't PIN!  All the various apps that claim to let you enjoy Pinterest are totally inadequate.  I found I could do a little pinning, but it was such a hassle that I didn't bother.

At first, I missed it. I was addicted and it was not an easy transition from pinning daily (multiple times) to seldom or never pinning.  But after a few weeks, I forgot about it.  Out of sight~Out of mind was real for me!

But I'm back.  I finally bought the same old model of computer that died on me.  It will get me by until I can afford a new computer.

Now I'm back pinning and blogging and generally finding life fascinating.

Currently I have 22,694 pins, 180 boards, and 648 followers.
