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.

My Introduction to Pinterest

My addiction began over the Thanksgiving Holiday, 2011. My cousin, Kelli, who is always on the forefront of new ideas, had posted on Facebook that she was trying out Pinterest and did anyone want an invitation.

I was on a 4 day vacation from work, so I thought "Why not. Let's see what this is."

Being somewhat obsessive, I actually READ some directions! I spent some time looking at what you can do, what others have done, and some guidelines for how to proceed.

Then I created an account and signed on.

Within moments, I was hooked. Such lovely images to pin. Repin. I do very little actual pinning, as you have to have your own photos on the internet, and I haven't done that yet. So, my pins are mostly the pins of others.

I created a couple of boards, as the photos soon needed organization.

In the beginning, I probably didn't look in every day.

That was Then. This is Now.

Currently I have 15,000 pins, 120 boards, and my imagination has only begun to see the fun I'm going to have.

So, YES, it's officially an ADDICTION. But I'm happily hooked!
