Why Pintrest Is the Most Lovely and Wonderful Thing That You Will Ever Encounter in Your Whole, Entire Life

So a few weeks ago I discovered an AMAZING site called Pintrest. Many of you probably have heard of it or might even be members (if so, hit me up! I would love to follow you!). But for those of you who are still in the dark, Pintrest is like a virtual pin board.

You can observe or you can participate: Maybe you just like looking at pretty pictures. Perhaps you are in need of some inspiration? Pinterest can even help you with your dinner plans! It is everything to everyone!!

For example, I am a sucker for interior design. When I first got my account, I started a “Interior Design” board and started to “pin” pictures I liked from other websites that relate to this topic. I am OBSESSED with marking my favorite looks, furniture, and houses. It’s a great way for me to store everything I need and reference it later. Paint styles. Ways to display keepsakes. An amazing antique door that caught my interest. Pinterest allows me to keep it all in one place. Magic I tell you. Magic.

What might be some examples of Pintrest Boards? (Here comes another list :P) Allow me to share mine with you :

1) Paper Crafts
2) Photography
3) Clothes
4) Dream Home
5) Hair Styles
6) Craft Ideas and Paper Craft Ideas
7) Places I Want to Go
8) My Future Husband (Definitey my favorite page :P)


(Sorry the screenshot is so small. It wouldn't get any bigger)

And those are just a few! I started out with 5 boards, and now I have 14! Some people have as many as 40. It gets addicting, that's for sure.

The last thing that must be said is that you sadly cannot become a member quickly without being invited to be one by a friend. So! If you want to join, just leave a comment with your email and a request to be a member! I'll invite you as soon as you do! It's totally worth it, trust me!

I"m Alive!

Hey guys. Yeah... It's been a while. I apologize most deeply, but you gotta remember I'm young and spry, and am therefore busy all the time. But no worries, because fall is my busiest time of the year, and now 'tis almost winter! Ahhh, Christmas time is only a few short days away. Well, it should be anyways. I'm seriously getting ticked off with all this Christmas music before Thanksgiving... ("Really radio stations? Really? Since when is it okay to play Christmas music before Thanksgiving? Yeah, that's right, NEVER. So stop. Thank you.") Alright, done with that little rant.

I'm not sure if I have already mentioned this or not, but I am a craftsy person, and all the Christmas gifts I give are usually handmade, so from now til Christmas, I will try to be finding websites with great ideas, as well as including my own tutorials for crafts I like to make and then blogging about them.

So have a happy Thanksgiving! I will be doing college visits over my break unfortunately, so pray for me, haha.
