Lovin’ Pinterest. Need an invite?

Do you have folders and folders of awesome crafts, DIY projects, home decor, inspiration photos, furniture, hairstyles, quotes, etc…taking up space on your computer? Do you forget what you have in those folders? Do you want to share your awesome finds with your friends?

If you said yes to any of those questions Pinterest is for you!!

***

Pinterest was created as a place to collect, organize, and share things you love through “pinning”. Your home page shows you what your friends have recently posted onto their boards. {See below photo}. You can repin any of their pins to your own boards.

You can view your own pins…

As well as your own boards. Your boards are where you categorize your finds. As you can see in the screen-shot below, each board has a name: Crafts, Food, Home Decor, etc. Organizing your ideas, projects, and inspiration couldn’t be any easier! {You may also notice that the left column gives you updates of who is following you, who repinned your pin, etc…very handy if you ask me!}

The screenshot below is a view of our “Crafts” board. It lists the most recent pins first but shows all the items in that category. Every pin includes a caption, the number of repins by other people, likes, and the website it originated from – giving credit to where it’s deserved!
