Who else is hooked on ‘pinning’? Again, is that even a word? It seems no matter what the topic you can go to pinterest and find the answer. It’s genius, it’s fun, it’s inspiring and it’s enjoyable time suckage! And YES I do believe this is a very common word now!
Gone are the days of reading a recipe in the paper and filing it away in your recipe box. Today we can find one recipe done several ways, shown in visually appealing pictures and we can choose to ‘PIN’ one or all of them to our virtual cork board, which we have named ‘Food’ or some other creative name broken down by meal or ingredient. Like a ‘Chicken’ pin board, this one could consume days upon days of pinning!
It’s even hard to write the sequence of events that occur from the setting up your Pinterest account to the confusing first few attempts, to the madness that follows! You “pinners’ know what I mean!
When I started my ‘Pinning’ it was intended to be a resource for Charlotte and the surrounding area. However….67 boards and 1447 pins later…I too have boards for occasions, recipes and even door knobs! I think once you create a ‘Hooks and Handles’ board, it’s officially okay to refer to yourself as a pin-o-holic! Although I am still a light weight compared to some fellow pinners!
If you have a board I should follow please let me know here, especially if it has goodies about the Queen City! Or even just some beautiful, smart, must see pins!
Here is a glimpse at some of my boards, I do feel it’s a constant work in progress, but it’s good fun, and I will NEVER be at a loss for class projects again! Thank you Pinterest!!!
Two final thoughts, with summer coming and the kids being home, I know Pinterest will have games, crafts and many ideas to keep the family entertained. Finally, and lastly, the jokes. Search funny, or jokes into the search box and enjoy the chuckles. It’s fun to see all of those random cards and meme’s in one spot!
