elegantlion Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Good for you! Okay, I have pinterest, I don't get it though. Is it just like a scrapbook of pretty things we want? Is it another subversive way the internet tracks all of our actions and interests? :tongue_smilie: I have a few things on my board, they're utterly boring, imo. Maybe I'm just in a spot where I can't claim to like things because I know we'll never have time or money to see them done? I'm thinking like some of the cool projects I've seen. Maybe it's all part of learning to be content with less, but Pinterest doesn't enthuse me like it does for some of you. I wish it did, but I just don't get it.

southcarolinamom Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Just saying it out loud because I have other things I must do today. That is all. :D Good luck with that! :D I'm a confirmed Pinter-holic, myself. Have to have my "fix" at least once a day or my creative juices stop flowing.

Maybe it's all part of learning to be content with less, but Pinterest doesn't enthuse me like it does for some of you. I wish it did, but I just don't get it. For me, it appeals to my obsession for food and recipes. If you click on Food and Drink under "Everything", the drool-worthy pictures abound, ten, twenty, fifty, hundreds...all leading to recipes. It's almost beautiful. But it's really not fair to put stuff like that out there for those of us who cannot handle it. I could sit there all day long, staring at all the pictures, clicking on all the recipes... And then there is the architecture. I have one board just for the kitchen designs I'm going to have when I grow up. And, I did not look today :001_tt2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myeightkiddies Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I like it because it expands my bookmarks. If I end up changing operating systems, which I will be soon, I won't lose them, because I tend to forget to back them up, unfortunately. Also, there may be things that I want to look at in the future but don't want to commit valuable bookmark space to it. Some of the "52 books in 52 week" people track their books on Pinterest. Great way to categorize recipes found on the net. I have a lot in my "want to try" board. I've made many of them. And, yeah, good luck with staying off of it tonight. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in IN Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'm with you! I didn't let myself join until after the new year because I knew it would suck up too much time. But I made up for that (and more) this week! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annlaura Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I did pinterest today. But I will give myself a pass because I actually cooked one of the recipes for dinner, and used a painting project with the kids. :D I know there are days I spend too much time on it, but I have been using many of the ideas. At least, that's my excuse. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamapjama Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I made about 90% of my Christmas gifts this year. After each person opened their gift and asked "Did you make this???" my response was always "Yes, thanks to Pinterest!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
