I was just "thinking out loud", and then later, I thought it may have come off a little rude to post something that didn't have to do with the blog.

Maybe an hour a week. I do the same thing with cup hooks in my closet too. If you get the larger ones at the hardware store, they're great for holding thinner dress scarves and fabric belts too.Joannahttp://twitter.com/MommyInSuburbianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356107853796107267.post-85841140293540480072012-03-12T13:19:30.860-04:002012-03-12T13:19:30.860-04:00I don't understand why my comments are posting...I don't understand why my comments are posting with this picture?Amy Wilsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356107853796107267.post-27042292187770871702012-03-12T13:18:48.741-04:002012-03-12T13:18:48.741-04:00I AM on pinterest, and NOT on facebook - so I unde...I AM on pinterest, and NOT on facebook - so I understand your hesitance! <br /><br />I found that it takes up a lot of time in the beginning - oohing and aahing at ALL THE THINGS...but loses it's allure quickly, and after a while you just pin a couple things a day and get on with your life. I think it helps particularly if you find a good group people to "follow" that you know is your style and set your homepage to "Pinners I follow". Then you will see all the pins that are specific to you when you log in, sift through about 20-50 - and you won't spend hours trying to sift through "EVERYTHING".<br /><br />I find GREAT, SIMPLE things all the time (I found this on pinterest just this morning and did it all in about 15 minutes:http://pinterest.com/pin/214413632229350438/) and it makes it all worth it to me. <br /><br />I'm going to "follow" your pins now.Amy Wilsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356107853796107267.post-87216662109225915412012-03-12T12:51:46.553-04:002012-03-12T12:51:46.553-04:00Pinterest is a little random even for me (and I...Pinterest is a little random even for me (and I'm a hot piggy mess), but I've had great success with Pinterest-inspired projects. One thing I did was make a Tried It & Liked It board. Now, after I try something, I move it (unless I didn't like it: then I delete). This has motivated me to try things and not just stare at them. I'll make a point of following you.

Honestly, I e...I am now following you on Pinterest. Honestly, I enjoy Pinterest, but definitely haven't been sucked in deeply. I set up the boards I want and pin what I want to pin. I do look look at other stuff, but it's more cursory than anything. A part of me is afraid that the whole fad will die and Pinterest won't have the money to continue so all those pins I've pinned will just go away someday and I'll not know what it was I like, wanted to make, enjoyed. C'est la vie. <br /><br />As far as how it benefits my blog....I dunno. I pin my dish up and don't worry about it. It's as much a mystery to me (and one I don't want to solve) as StumbleUpon and Twitter.TheMomChefnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356107853796107267.post-83931510272971217032012-03-12T08:59:42.102-04:002012-03-12T08:59:42.102-04:00As a visual person and wann-be hoarder, I have lov...As a visual person and wann-be hoarder, I have loved Pinterest for a long time. I should inform you as a cautionary tale that for the first two weeks I was a member I spent way too much time on it. (Like staying up past 1 a.m.) But then my rational self got back into control. Now, mostly I use Pinterest for school ideas and recipes. I love that I have all these new dinner ideas at my finger tips without having to print out and find a place in my crowded home for a million recipes. <br />Once you know what your boards are going to focus on you can decide better who you want to follow. Give me some ideas of things you want to pin and I can give you some names.Amihttp://bunkersdown.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356107853796107267.post-40044173680872438172012-03-12T08:42:03.432-04:002012-03-12T08:42:03.432-04:00Robin, I plunged into Pinterest a few months ago. ...Robin, I plunged into Pinterest a few months ago. And I have to say, I see benefits but also some negatives too. For example, you kindly commented on my post yesterday on the research study on Patient Moms. Since then, I pinned to Pinterest and it's already beeen repinned over 1000 times and it's had almost 10,000 pageviews...sounds great right? Yet I've gotten several mean comments about how it wasn't a valud study. So first of all, THANK YOU for the nice comments, which took the sting out of the mean ones. Second, thanks for giving me a laugh...I don't have have self-rising flour or some of the other crazy things you see on there....bottom line? You are right to proceed with caution! :-)Mommy With Selective Memorynoreply@blogger.com
