Pinterest?

[dvcmom72]

Anyone use this? I joined last night and played around on there for a bit this morning but honestly...I don't get it.
I must be missing something...

I guess it's not for everybody, but I like it to find and pin to save decor ideas, recipes, and crafts, among other things.
The search button will help you find the things you are really interested in.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Pinterest!!! It does take a bit to get used to it and how it works, but once you get the hang of it, you will NEVER get off of it. LOL

And sadly, I've been out of work for the past month and Pinterest is where I've spent most of my time.

Use the search to look up anything of interest. Once you find things that you like, "repin" them and put them in your own "board". You can also search the internet and if it has a picture, you can "pin" it. (you first have to download the "pin" button and put it into your favorites bar.

It's simply a virtual way to keep things you see and want to try..recipes, decor, sewing, crafts and so on. Most people see stuff in a magazine and rip it out or mark it to try/use..this is just an online way to do that. I LOVE it..no physical clutter and I can have endless stuff pinned to try as I want/need it.

Ah...ok, this all makes sense, thank you! I just wasn't sure what to DO on there...LOL. I'll have to check it out again later.

It helps if you have a specific interest, such as baking, gardening, crafts, etc. I use it primarily to organize recipes found on the internet. I also used it a lot for holiday crafts and decorations from Halloween through Christmas. Lately, I've been doing some redecorating and have gotten lots of inspiration from home decor section. Love Pinterest!

I use it to collect ideas. So far I have so many crafts pinned that I will have to live to be 160 to get them all done.
My daughter found an awesome Pinterest member who coordinates Disney themed outfits. She's been getting a piece or two when we go shopping so that she can have the outfits together for our April trip.

I agree! I have tons of food & drink recipes I try & whenever the family likes something I yell "Pinterest"!

Start with your interests. Do you enjoy cooking, decorating, fashion, humor, weight loss, excercise...then when you see a great idea or recipe, you can pin it on a board set up specifically made for that category.

I love to cook but didn't previously have a great way to keep all my recipes organized, most of them I found online so I had about a million bookmarks and the recipes were very hard to find. Now, I have an appetizers board, a dessert board, a beverage board...everything is nicely organized and I can spot the recipe I am looking for easily by the picture. I also have a humor board, a music board, gardening, and many more.

I use it constantly but mostly for cooking.

 

[momtojandj]

it took me awhile also to get used to it, but now that I have I love it. I am always finding recipes that I want to try, and I would email them to myself to save..lol..Now at least I have a place to keep them all, and try as I wish..

Pinterest is great! I use it for crafts and recipes. I even planned a fiesta themed party using it. It can be confusing at first but the idea behind it is that it is a virtual pin board that you can use like a favorite tool bar or bulletin board. I really like it because it is so interactive. I have ready some articles on it that are a little disturbing. There are no privacy controls, and as it grows more popular, more than just housewives and teenagers are using it.

 

[scubamouse]

I use it mostly for recipes too. I do have places and images that I love or think are beautiful but mostly I use it to keep all my online recipes in one place

I have just started to get the hang of it.
I have a cupcake board I have been putting yummy cupcakes. A disneyworld area. Wish list. etc etc

I just discovered Pinterest today and LOOOOOVE it!!

I'm the type that rips decor pics out of magazines or catalogs and stuff them into file folders for future reference/inspiration. This is SO MUCH BETTER!

I made one for House Decor today and would also like one for Travel ideas (like I really go anywhere besides WDW, but I might someday!) and one for Food & Drinks.

So many possibilities here!!

 

[jemetz]

Yes, LOVE Pinterest! Dinner is in the slow cooker right now thanks to a PIN! =) It does take a little while to learn to navigate but it is such great fun.

 

[MissMelissRoths03]

There is so much to offer on this site. I think it will end up as a marketing tool in the end though.

I love the crafts, the fashion, the quotes, I love all of it.

There is always something new to look at, and you can search for the topic you are interested in!

Again, like a said a few minutes ago, try to keep personal information off of your pinterest. Don't upload pictures of your children or home unless you don't mind who see's them.

Seems to be more for crafters and scrapbookers. My wife likes it but she does a lot of crafting and scrap booking.

It doesn't interest me in the least though, lol.

Oh would you mind sharing this user?

I didn't "get" Pinterest for awhile, but then I discovered a pin that made it all worthwhile... the Dawn dishwashing detergent/white vinegar shower/tub cleaner.

Can you say ???

That stuff is the absolute bomb. I have tried so many different cleansers to try and get rid of soap scum and on a whim I tried this mixture when I saw it on Pinterest. WHOA, does it work!!

Then I suddenly saw Pinterest as the brain share it was meant to be....

Now I pin and I pin and then I pin some more...
