NWR: Pinterest

sparklegirl84 · April 2011

Any of you ladies on Pinterest? I follow the young house love blog (LOVE it, its the only blog i follow actually) and Sherry is all about it:

http://www.younghouselove.com/2011/04/two-heartfelt-letters/

She commented about it on facebook the other day so I sent in my request and am impatiently waiting to get off their waiting list and start pinning. It sounds addicting and I can only imagine all the amazing wedding inspiration I'll find. I'm already planning how I'll organize my pins (if thats what theyre called). I want a wedding, house and random folder to start with.

ETA: After reading through lots of the comments I found a link to get direct access to pinterest!! Woohoo, no 2 week waiting for a confirmation email. So if anyone else wants to join:

"someone posted this link when you mentioned Pinterest on facebook – I tried it and was able to get an account right away:http://www.beyond-snapshots.com/blog/2011/02/23/we-%E2%99%A5-pinterest/The direct invitation link is at the bottom of the post. "I haven't started pinning but plan to after my workout, let me know if you use it and i'll follow ya!

haha, I'm too lazy to come up with my own definition so I'm copying what Sherry from the YHL blog described it as <div>"<span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;color:#000000;" class="Apple-style-span">Basically every piece of eye candy that speaks to you can be “pinned” (added to your board) with a note, so you can even remind yourself things like “I want to do this with green balloons for Clara’s party” or “I hope our console table has the same rustic and amazing finish as the stairs in this pic.” </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;color:#000000;" class="Apple-style-span">
</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;color:#000000;" class="Apple-style-span">Your basically tagging any photo you love and making inspiration boards that you can share with others and they can tag your photos as inspiration to add to their boards. </span></div>

I'm not sure but I think I was one of the first members. I've been on Pinterest for a loooong time now and I thought you ladies already knew about it! My Wedding Planning Pinterest board is in my siggy if you want to check it out and see what it's about. If anyone wants an invite let me know and I can send you one.

To explain it a little more, when I started planning my wedding I was grabbing pictures from everywhere, like I'm sure many of you did, too. They were kept in an image folder on my desktop and one day I wanted to shot my friend the tutorial for a paper flower bouquet, but couldn't for the life of my find the link! I had the picture for it, but not the link. So when I finally tracked it down (after an hour or so) I "pinned" it to my wedding board. Now, if I want to show her that I just have her go to my Pinterest board and click on the image. It will take her straight to the tutorial.

It's really handy for keeping products in Etsy stores straight, too. And I also have a house renovation board for our new house that I've been collecting ideas for. It's a lot easier to look at then a "Favorites" list on a browser and you can then share your ideas with other people. I know crafty people love the site a lot for sharing tutorials, too.

Yay, glad you are all about it, I'm just getting started so I'm busy filling up my boards, my page is http://pinterest.com/sparkleheather/

LolaPizzy · April 2011

That's cool! I wish I had known about this earlier in the planning. My images are so disorganized...some are in my internet favorites, some are saved to desktop. They are a mess!

Now that I might understand I might have to check this out.

Could one of you ladies send me an invite? ksw322 at gmail.com

Thanks!
