Do you pin? We are loving Pinterest as both a source for inspiration (pin-spiration?) and as a place to inspire others. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the site, Pinterest is an online place for virtual bulletin boards. Simply go to www.pinterest.com and request an invitation.
Once you receive your invitation, you create an account and then prepare to become obsessed! Create boards for crafts, recipes, fashion, travel, decor, or any other interests. You may “repin” (posting a photo you see on someone else’s board) onto your boards, or “pin” straight from images you come across while online. Feel free to pin photos taken yourself, too. They have easy tutorials that offer help along the way.
Here is a snaphot of our Pinterest page and some of our boards:

Much like Twitter and Facebook, Pinterest allows “following”. This feature allows you to find “pinners” whose boards or images are ones that you like. Likewise, people can follow your boards and pins. Pinterest is perfect way to keep images, ideas, and creative inspiration organized.
Happy Pinning!
