A few months ago, I decided to let you in on my little secret. A food blogging friend of mine (The Noshery) had invited me to Pinterest back in the fall, and I had kept the secret to myself long enough. So I shared with you in this post a video tutorial on how to use Pinterest. Since that time, hardly a day goes by that I don’t get an email asking for an invite to Pinterest. Peeps, if you have a facebook or twitter account you can get IMMEDIATE access to the site with the link included on that post. Go on over and click it if you want in! However, I must warn you that it’s just a wee bit addictive :). You have instant access into everyone’s tumblr files all at once! Additional warning: Like all great online tools, you might not care for some images that pop up before you but there are ways to filter what you see.
Here are some of the fabulous things I found on Pinterest today:
Gallery wall to hide the light switch, doorbell, and thermostat. Brilliant!

When I did my gardening post last week, many of you mentioned succulents as being very easy to care for. I found this living succulent wreath last week on Pinterest and tweeted/facebooked about it. But it is so lovely it deserves another mention.

Another ingenious tip found on Pinterest: Use bread bag clips to organize your cords behind your entertainment unit or desktop computer.

I just discovered Pinterest and have to say I'm addicted already! What a fabulous site. The headquarters is just down the road from me. Wouldn't it be a great place to work?!
Awesome inspiration! I guess I haven't figured out what the easiest way to use it is?
I'm really working on it this week though. 🙂
I love Pinterest, but put myself on restriction until after my daughter's graduation next week– too much of a time sucker!! Boo hoo. 😉
OMG. I am obsessed with Pinterest. It's like crack for DIY-ers.
I've already checked my Pinterest 3 times today. Can't. Stay. Away.
