Pinterest Time!

by Becky Elmuccio on August 22, 2011

I stumbled across Pinterest a few months ago when some other bloggers began talking about it. After getting and invite after a couple of days, I was ready to start! It is a phenomenal website that is slowly helping me to convert my large “idea files” into paperless online pinboards. This is helping me to declutter in so many ways. I have been sitting down to edit through my Travel, Home Ideas, Clothing, Health and Beauty and Baby/Kid folders for the last few months, and I feel a weight being lifted. No longer are my file drawers as crammed nor my folders busting at the seams when I pull them out. Instead, I am able to link pictures from websites to my boards and organize my thoughts and inspiration for what I want to do in my life.

You can create any number of boards that you like and organize in any fashion. I chose the following categories:
  • Spinning

  • Favorite Places and Spaces

These are just some samples of what I have started to pin. One of my favorite features of the website is that you can follow boards and people. I have found a few bloggers that I read and started to follow their boards (like Adrian B. and Julie Frickert). It’s also exciting to watch which ones of your pins are being repinned and I like the community aspect of sharing ideas across the globe. So, if you are a visual thinker and someone who loves to play with ideas for your home, garden, kitchen or life, I would tell you to follow the link above as quickly as possible and start pinning! You can follow my boards by using the new “Follow Me on Pinterest” button that I added to the top right of the blog. Enjoy!
