    Let's just say if pinning was a work out then I would be ripped!

    THIS. Exactly this! My husband calls me Pinterest Queen on a regular basis :)

    ::raising hand:: Addict here. I use it to pin recipes and beauty/fashion stuff. Every week I make one new Pinterest recipe and have found so many that the family loves. Even found some that were complete duds. LOL.

    I get on nightly during my wind-down time before bed.

    But like someone else said, I think its funny when I pin a healthy recipe or a workout, then turn around and pin something with a gazillion calories.

    I received the invite when the site first launched but never signed up because I knew what would happen... last week I finally signed up and I was right. Death to my free time...

    I once stumbled across a website that posted people's pinterest projects that didn't quite turn out like the pin. It was pretty funny. I can't remember what it was though......

    Here's the one I knew about: http://pinstrosity.blogspot.com/

    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.

    AMEN SISTER!!! :smile:

    i just went to a Pinterest party on Saturday!! LOVE it!
    What does one do at a Pinterest party? Did you make crafts from the site or something?

    I love it too...I've found some cool *kitten* on that site! :love:

    My BFF hosted. We brought supplies (if you wanted) and an idea to make something. She had food and wine. We started at 6 and ended at 1am. We made cards, ornaments, ruffled tree skirt, clay figures. We did have Pinterest open in case we needed it.

    *Waves* I'm not a very crafty person, but I use mine for recipes, oragnizing ideas, and science stuff. There's several things I've found on there that I use around the house that have been very handy. A while back, the "Crap Basket" pin was popular. I used that one and not only do I not know how I lived without it, I wonder why I didn't come up with it myself. Some of the things on there are brilliantly simple.

    I like it for the fitness inspiration mainly. (Although one of the people I've subscribed to is too much into running for my liking.)

    Today I used a pin from Pinterest to make leg warmers out of sweaters for my 13 year old daughter for Christmas. Hubs said "Hands off mine!" (lol) so I went to Value Village and got some $3.99 sweaters, cut off the arms, hemmed them, added an elastic piece for under each foot, and voila! Saw them at a craft show this past weekend for $15/pair. LOVIN' the $aving$!

    I think that has to do with the fact that when someone hears Pinterest, they automatically think "crafts". But, anyone on it knows that it can be so much more. I know quite a few guys who are on it, but I don't think they would reply to this thread. I'm kind of a tomboy, so personally I like a little testosterone in my pin mix.
