Do you know about Pinterest? Oh. My.
My friend Karri began telling me about this fabulous site she found – a site which allowed you to “clip” all of your favorites from the online world into one handy-dandy little clipboard, last summer. Since I pretty much didn’t have one moment where I didn’t have a child draped around my leg, I am just know exploring this new guilty pleasure.
The best part? You can “follow” others and check out their “pins”, er…Pinterest-speak for their favorites from the web.
Once you sign-on to begin this little journey, you are invited to create “boards” – think of it as a file folder for the things you discover while you surf around the web or other’s “pins”…My boards at the moment are:
For the Home
Verses I Love
Blogs I Love
Holiday Ideas For The Gremlins
Wise Word
Yum-O (recipes)
Parenting
Stuff My Kids Would Love
Stuff That Makes Me Laugh
On Marriage
My Style (which is pretty much the Garnet Hill catalog)
So how do you create a Pinterest account?
First, you must be invited but being invited is not as exclusive as it sounds…I can invite you if you provide me with just a simple email address – a big “thank you” to Michelle at “Some Girl’s Website” for hooking me up…
The rest is very self-explanatory – the site will walk you through how to set up your own boards and how to install the “Pin It” button on your toolbar, which allows you to “pin” wonderful things you stumble upon while on the web.
How about I share a few of my favorite “pins”?
For The Home…
Will be working on this soon – from “Dukes and Duchesses”
Verses I Love…
Stuff That Makes Me Laugh…
This is quite possibly the funniest thing I have seen in quite some time…
My Style…
From, of course, my favorite – Garnet Hill…
Yum-O…
Crock-Pot Chicken Enchilada Soup from Real Mom Kitchen
Parenting…
Scripture Alphabet Cards – from this Etsy shop…I will be purchasing…
Stuff My Kids Would Love…
Cookie Monster Cupcakes – are you kidding me??? Brilliant.

Because this is too fun not to share, I’m joining in today with Kristen from We Are THAT Family for “Works For Me Wednesday”…
pinterest ate the rest of my “free time” (like i really ever had any!) not too long ago. i’ve been trying not to pin too many more things until i actually DO something with what i’ve already pinned. it’s not going well with that plan though ;)
Glad I could help you find a use for all your extra time :) I LOVE the “Everything” button!
Please, oh please invite me?
That looks like fun!
I just got introduced to it last week and I’m afraid to go back there it is so addictive. I love the prayer board!
I love Pinterest too. You have some great pins here. Love the cookie monsters!
I love your Pinterest boards! Especially the verses. I’m so fascinated that I would love an invitation to join! Thank you!
Hi, I love pinterest but havent gotten an invite! could you please invite me?
thanks!!
I just got started on Pinterest but have done zero with it. Most of the net surfing I do has to do with my acting, so not there’s not really much to save and pin from that aspect. I guess I’m just not a “random” kind of net surfer. ;p But having said that, I adore the post-it note you have about stopping the drama. Hilarious. And the alphabet Bible verses are priceless. Thanks as always for sharing, and happy belated birthday! :)
That is one of my most favorite websites. So much fun! Plus the inspiration and the beauty you can find :)
So want an invite!
I am enjoying Pinterest too. (and not spending too much time there.)
Fondly,
Glenda
