Pinterest Addict?

Is anyone out there addicted to Pinterest like I am? :blushing: I have crafts on the brain all the time.... crafts, crochet, how I can REUSE a T-SHIRT.... I haven't begun doing the current trend of "toilet paper roll art" but that's not to say my Pinterest boards are jam packed with stuff close to that. Bottle cap crafts, DUCT TAPE LANYARDS :noway: , Hot Chocolate Snowman.... I guess I should be glad that it's keeping me busy, it gives me and my step-daughter something to do together and I'm not EATING from boredom. Don't get me wrong... there's good stuff on there too.... fitness workouts, budget ideas, books to read, etc.

Anyway, just wanted to see if there were any Pinterest fans on here too. :wink:

    RIGHT HERE!!! SOOOO addicted lol I love to do crafts anyway, but, Pinterest has so many other things that I love! :)
  • You bet! I've cut up my old t-shirts and am making a quilt out of them! I get more recipe ideas and fashion tips than crafts though. I've been working on this t-shirt project for a few months now...and I stay up LATE pinning. It is very addictive.

    I cannot understand Pinterest. I think my brain rejects the idea of it.

    Guilty as charged! It's so addicting!! BUT....the pictures of all the delicious recipes make my mouth water and the DIY crafts makes me feel like I could put that together...and 9 times out of 10 it never looks like it's supposed to. LOL.

    Yes guilty as charged!!! MY daughter and I are so addicted! I've got two things I'm working on right now. A picture of a snow man on a snow sled. And some wreaths. Last year I made new stocking for the fire place for everyone and a new tree skirt. I can't get enough!

    It's my favorite. I've pinned 2200 things! lolol...but I've had it since last summer. I find the best ideas on there...some of them I've done. It's my own personal google. If I'm looking for a recipe now, I search for it on pinterest instead of google, haha.

    I'm obsessed. LOVE Pinterest. Kind of a cool story. I was on Pinterest browsing for some wall art and I found an image I love. It was connected to an article, which was connected to the artist's Facebook page. She studied fine art painting her whole life and is now a 21 year old photography student at the Art Institute in Milan. She has a beautiful portfolio and she is going to sell me two of her pieces.

    Oh, the power of social media.

    Yes! I'm so guilty I even created a "Tried & True" pin board for things I've done whether they worked or failed miserably...lol

    Yep...I'm there for the food & the funnies, though...not really for the crafty stuff.

    Am I the one woman in the world that has no desire to be on Pinterest? I was on there for a day and decided it would be easier to google any of the ideas when I need them.

    potential time suck that could be used for more productive things.

    Except for the fact that I've found countless healthy recipes on Pinterest, learned how to clean the house with fewer chemicals and found some nice things to decorate my home. Plus, it makes for a nice distraction when traveling. We can't all work and workout 24/7/365.
