Anyone else having randos pin and like your stuff you've had for ages all of a sudden?

hellohkb · December 2014

Yes. I assume they found something through the search function and then looked at older pins. I like it when that happens!

lurkergirl · December 2014

Yes! I had to turn off all notifications from pinterest because I kept getting ridiculous numbers of likes and re-pins. And I'm rarely on there hardly ever pin anything when I am on. I mostly just look at pictures on it. I think I'm pinteresting wrong...

I didn't think about the search function @hellohkb.

I recently sent in a suggestion saying we need an "I'm tired of seeing this" button. I've seen the same damn pin about turning a hoodie into a stylish sweater so many times on my feed I'm tired of it!

I had a rando recently comment on a Game of Thrones wedding invitation pin I pinned a year ago to show DH. She said "you need to watch the TV show because weddings don't go well in Game of Thrones and I don't think it's a good idea for your wedding theme". Like, seriously?

@LadyMillil - umm creepy much?

vulpiepop · December 2014

Yeah, it was starting to get ridiculous. I stopped paying attention to the notification thingy.

I would totally utilize this button. I hate all the same wedding pins, like the Honeymoon Fund jar people suggest to place at your wedding.

I've been getting a lot of notifiactions too.

This is what seems to get the most re-pins

paperpusher · December 2014

This seems to be the one getting the most repins on mine:

It's a template for applique that I pinned when I was planning my SILs baby shower.

WTH? What kind of a weirdo does that?

Pintrest makes me feel like a lazy, boring, uncreative loser. Like, why can't I find the time or energy or inspiration to make applique bibs for my friends' baby showers? Or make homemade Frozen-themed cupcakes for my goddaughter's birthday? Or scrapbook every detail of my wedding?!?

Despite the fact that it makes me feel like a worthless person, I recently started using it again as a way to bookmark wedding ideas. I fear slightly for my sanity.

i would use this too. hate seeing the same things over and over. or the darn suggestions. seriously just because i looked up crochet patterns doesnt mean i want to see them all.

That happened to me awhile ago with one of my pins. It's like the thing went fucking viral and I was getting 100 notifications in a day. I figured out how to turn it off and I just have Pinterest send me a weekly summary now instead.

@LaPeanut1018 you must tell me how to do this!

I've thought about creating 2 more boards - Successes and Fails
So far my successes are hand making gift cards holders (embossed paper and felt), rainbow truffles, coconut cream dip, BLT salad, love spice, postcard cake, wreath snowman:

I don't have much in the way of fails to post because A) haven't done much and

usually if they are fails I delete them. We've got crockpot buffalo chicken sandwiches and exploding birthday cake:

To be fair I think the exploding cake didn't work because the person who was helping me put too much tape on it and didn't blow it up enough.
