I have approximately 11,382 recipes pinned on Pinterest. It's a sickness. And having that many recipes pinned makes it reaaaaaally difficult to go back and find the one you want.
I love Pinterest. I have tons of recipes and baby food recipes, craft projects, baby craft projects, home decor, DIY, holiday boards and a board dedicated to amazing photos which I plan to have canvassed for my home. Whats funny is that my wedding board is being re-pinned like crazy right now after having been inactive for a year.
Oh and I totally made these for my wedding from Pinterest!
Cute! What did you do for your guest sign in table? At my cousins wedding they had a tree drawn out on a large canvas and we dabbed our finger in ink and made the leaves with our thumb prints! It was really neat. She also sent little plants home as gifts! It was kinda shabby chic type of wedding.
Aw, love it! We didn't have one. Woops. We had a picture frame they were supposed to sign but we forgot to put it out. We brought it to the hospital instead and had people write messages for LO.
I only joined a month ago. I guess I don't entirely get how to use it. So far I went looking for ideas for our family Halloween costumes (penguins) and for a cute idea to serve sliced pears at a Halloween party, both of which got used.
I pin recipes nonstop, but I'm kind of obsessive about food and usually make them at least once. I stopped pinning crafts because I suck at them so I give up. I use it for fashion a lot. Every month or so I go through my fashion board and see what things are common in the outfits I like then start looking for something like that when I'm shopping. It's really helping me to create a wardrobe I love rather than just getting trendy cheap pieces I end up hating the next season.
August 2014 Siggy Challenge: Motivational Speaking for Moms
Oh I will totally jump in on this Pinterest goodness! I am a total addict - funny stuff, recipes, lots and lots of crafts, and ideas for teaching, and of course baby stuff now!
My friends and I have had a few Pinterest parties, they're SO much fun! We each make a recipe that we've pinned and pig out, then we bring all the stuff we need to some crafts we've pinned and drink lots of wine :-)
One of my favorite pins:
We love August! Boyfriend & Girlfriend - 8.6.06 Husband & Wife - 8.6.10 Mom & Dad - 8.19.14
I get kind of bummed that I got married before Pinterest was big (or at least before I was aware of it's awesomeness). We did almost everything ourselves and it probably would have been super helpful!
@katee0617 that's totally how I felt about our engagement and wedding pix! Both were featured on blogs and when I come across them on Pinterest it always freaks me out! Especially when people comment on them!
(Our ring book, succulent escort cards/gifts, my bouquet and dress)
ETA it's also totally weird that my friend runs a pretty successful high fashion blog and she's always on my feed from complete strangers. The Internet is craziness.
I haven't been very "pin-y" for a while I mostly just scroll through the humor section to get a laugh. But I use to look through the fashion a lot. I would search an item of clothing/accessories I owned just to get fun combinations and new ideas as to how to wear them.
I do nearly everything I pin (small home decor crafts, recipes, and smart ideas about double use for things... Organization ideas.)
One thing I did was to take a cork board and push pins and hang my necklaces so I can see what I have. Probably my favorite since I use it all the time.
