I haven’t posted any Monday links in awhile. So here’s a treat for those of you who aren’t already hooked. Pinterest is a great site where you can store, sort and share all those amazing and wonderful images that you find on a daily basis all over the internet. A bit like Flickr, which lets you post your own original photos, only for other peoples’ cool stuff.
Even better, when you click on a photo that catches your eye, you’ll be taken to a page which has a link to where the picture originally came from (usually someone’s blog). So you can find all kinds of great blogs that you would never have known about otherwise.
The most popular categories of pins are DIY, crafting and recipes. I’ve been finding all kinds of great, useable ideas to go along with all the eye candy.
Yes, it’s totally addictive. Pinterest.
I want to thank all of you for your open-hearted and generous response to my last post. Your comments, emails, messages and cups of tea have made me feel so loved, supported and uplifted. I love that you’re talking about your own experiences, sharing with the other readers of this blog. Some of you are even sharing with your own circles. One of my friends on Twitter suggested that the more light we shine on depression, the less damage it can do. I agree whole-heartedly and I hope that, as you feel ready (it is a little scary turning on the light) you will let me cheer you on as you have cheered me.
Yay Barb – isn’t Pinterest just sooo addictive and brilliant???! I had a feeling you’d love it. No longer do we have to store links to inspirational images in a long boring list of bookmarks never to be revisited
It’s very easy to while-away many minutes (hrrrm hours) looking at other people’s creativity in lieu of getting one’s own hands dirty but it’s just such a joy. And let’s face it, anything to lift one’s heart and get the creative juices flowing…x
Yup. You’ve created a monster…
Yikes, Barb! Thanks for the link to my blog. You are too sweet.
Regarding Pinterest – oh my… I can see how I can get hooked. But what a neat thing! I see so many things/images in the course of the day and promptly forget where I saw them. This is great! Between Pinterest and StumbleUpon, I may never leave my couch!
Just kidding… or not.
Thanks again for your kind words and openness and the link to my blog post. You are a peach.
And now I’m a blushing peach. Thanks Patti.
Okay… just scrolled around Pinterest and now I can’t figure out if I’m hungry, want to redecorate, paint my nails, get out my seashells, travel, read, or get the family together for an awkward family photo? This is awesome! Thanks Barb.
And now I’ve created a monster…
hahaha! It’s becoming epidemical (that’s a word right?!)
It’s totally a word!
