Pining for Pinterest

Pinterest= The New Inspiration File

Remember one of my first blogs on inspiration and how to keep it? I joined this little site called Pinterest before it became big. The problem= I never did anything with it and I forgot I joined it until it became “the thing”.

Haven’t heard of pinterest? Well, it is this fabulous site you can keep store all of your inspiration from around the web into one place. You can follow inspiration your friends, bloggers & family have gathered too! It’s basically a virtual bulletin board of all of your favorite images! You can break down your inspiration images into categories to keep it organized & easy to maintain! One thing- you have to be invited to another user to be a user yourself!

People are using Pinterest to plan their weddings, decorate their homes & keep neat recipes.

I thought I might show you what I have been up to on Pinterest today. I have several boards going on and I have had an absolute ball pinning my favorite images…

I have 14 categories {and counting}… but I thought I would just show you a few for fun!

– Love this idea of a wall full of white plates…

– Great reading nook on the stairwell…

– Use jars for colorful flowers…

– Mix peach & pink flowers together in a vintage vase…

– I am going to make one of these for my sketch book…

– I have to paint a nightstand/ table with descending shades like this… adorable!

– Use a shutter for to organize mail {great for laundry/mud room}…

– Bright flowers & plenty of them…

– Fun colorway…

– I love these pieces…

– Great fall/winter outfit…

What do you think?? Are you on Pinterest? Are you a little obsessed too? What do you Pin? DO TELL…

Want an invitation to Pinterest? I have a few still.. let me know below! Follow me on Pinterest here.

    Hi! Do you still have any invites to Pinterest? I feel like I’m waiting to win the lottery with their “invitations” from the site. I would love a chance to be one of the “elite” 🙂

  • @BJsWholesale curbside pickup is the best friend of busy Moms everywhere! #BJsWholesalePartner I love that I can sit in the comfort of my own home, while enjoying a good cup of coffee and order what I need for our family in a flash. Pulling up in that curbside lane and not having to wrangle kiddos or pull out the stroller is truly lifesaving some days. Busy moms know what I am talking about! I love that BJ’s offers convenient shopping options for the days that are curbside pickup kind-of days, same-day delivery kind-of days, and the days that call for
