Stop The Madness!

I used to have a MySpace.

Now I Facebook.

And blog.

And read a thousand a couple blogs a day.

And Facebook for my blog. (You're not on it? Like it!)

And tweet.

And tweet for my blog.

And I love it all.

And then, yesterday, I see this thing, Pinterest come across my Facebook feed.

Have you seen this? It's a virtual bulletin board, divied into smaller boards, that you can label with things like "Knitting Crack" or "Blog Love," or "Cutest.Thing.Evah."  And then as you are surfing the net and come across items you like, you just 'pin' them onto your board. Click and pin. You can share your pins, follow people, tweet your pins, Facebook your pins. Instead of 'favoriting' things and then having a list of favorited things you click back and forth between, you see your favorites all at once, I guess. Technology making our life easier.

Really? Do I need another social networking tool?

Yes, yes I DO!!

Stop the madness because I need to get on!

Diana invited me, after I blew off the idea for one entire day, and you guys, I'm warning you now.

Don't do it. Just . . .don't.

But if you do? I'm Kim @ Baby Feet and we so need to follow each other and share pins!! I already pinned Diana three times tonight when I found adorable craft projects for kids.  Look!

Now, I really have to go because I need to find furniture for the kids rooms and hey, guess what? I can pin things I like right on Pinterest! And then that new dining room table we've been talking about for 10 years? I'm going to find some tables and pin them! A sideboard! Patio furniture! Baby shower ideas! Recipies!

  13. OMG Pinterest is so full of awesome. We've been looking at ideas for furniture and things we want to do with the house and now I can pin them! I won't bother explaining the phenomenon to husband, but maybe I'll set up a separate account for him on the laptop ;-)
