Have you heard of Pinterest? I didn’t until yesterday. It’s super addicting. And really fun!
It’s kinda hard to describe, but after using it for only one day I am totally addicted! To me it’s like an inspiration board, twitter, tumblr, and facebook all rolled into one. You can make boards and pin things to them, leave comments, follow people, say you “like” things. And re-pin things others have pinned. There’s even a handy tool that you can drag to your web browser’s toolbar to make it easy to pin.
Yeah, I’m gonna have to watch how much time I spend on this! :)
You can make boards about anything you like. So what are the first ones I made? Why, a tape-a-licious board (about all kinds of washi tape!) and a foxy one — of course! Then I made one called camera crushes. Yeah, totally addicting.
Besides the addiction factor, the only thing I’m not too sure about is that sometimes people don’t get attribution. I found several things of mine that had been pinned by others, but the source link led elsewhere…not so cool.
Pinterest is in beta right now, so you need an invite if you want to start pinning yourself — many many thanks to the most awesome Tiff over at iheartart for sending me one! (Hi Tiff!) Need an invite? Just let me know!
You can look around and see what people have been pinning without joining tho. Here’s mine! Are you on? Let me know, I’d love to check out your pins!
I love your Pinterest boards–they are so inspiring! I also think it’s so cute how they’re “curated” by you. :)
This looks really cool, Lisa! I would love an invite if you have one to spare! Thanks!

Hi Lisa!
I’ve been waiting and waiting for an invite from my request to Pinterest since early last week, but haven’t received one yet from them. I’m a fellow friend of the fabulous Julie Ebersole chiquita! :) If you have a spare invite you can share w/ me, I’d be ever so grateful! Enjoy the day! -Anna.
ooh! this sounds like fun, I’m totally interested :) count me in!

love this site, Lisa….I’d love an invite! thanks for sharing pinterest and all the goodies on your boards!
YOU’VE been busy! LOL! LOVE your boards! Now I need to find you and follow you :)
I would like an invite!! I’m using delicious.com and polyvore and folders on my computer to organize my planning for 1 wedding, 1 baby shower, and 1 bridal shower that I am in charge of this year! It’s kinda messy, lol! I especially love your tapealicious one!
I would love an invite if you can. I’m on the waiting list. Love your board. It is definitely a time killer. :)
Rhonda, Kryssi, Nancy and Clouds — you’ve got mail! :)
THANK YOU!! Big big hugs! Oh I love your new profile picS. :)
Thanks Kryssi! Which one do you like better? I can’t decide! I put them both up so I could get people’s opinions :)
I usually wear my hair down, but it’s rather long so when I pull it back then people don’t recognize me, ha ha ha! :)
Oooo, Lisa, that looks like so much fun . . . if you still have them to give, I’d love an invite.
love your fun boards, Lisa! so cool. i am so afraid that i’ll be addicted! LOL! i’ll make sure to keep an eye on your boards!
