Has anyone else gotten caught up in the newest internet time waster, Pinterest?


I have described it as a bulletin board bookmarking site.
My photos that I pin are all small resolution, so I am not fearful of people taking them.

Any photo there that you double click will take you to the original location it was pinned from, so it gets people to your blog.

I have started a category of pins for blogs and sites that I want to keep at hand; it really is easier than looking thru a list of bookmarks!

I have a board of quilts, and of quotes, and of things to make...

If anyone wants an invite (right now you need to have one to join immediately---otherwise it takes about a week for them to send you one...I think it is to to keep the site from blowing up from too much interest too quickly!!!!) ...pm me with your email addy...

You did a great job of describing pinterest! Here is my latest "timer waster": http://pinterest.com/sallyjwalker/

You can see some of my quilts and sewing projects and another board has quilts/sewing projects I've admired.

I tried to find you, but couldn't. I am new to pinterest and have not figured out how to navigate around it yet.

I joined months ago...and get more and more addicted to it...fun to pin quilts, recipes, pictures of cats, dogs, sheep, sunflowers, folk art, quotes, patriotic items, sunsets, etc...it is a great place to relax at while at the same time is creative, and I get way too many ideas...which lead to more ideas...but I love it!
