I heart Pinterest

I'm not on the Twitter bandwagon. I do have a Facebook and will occasionally post some pictures there. Obviously, I'm addicted to my Google Reader. But THIS? This is awesome.

Let me explain.

I have always been one of those tear-it-out-of-the-magazine people.

Always.

My high school bulletin boards were full of horoscopes, newspaper clippings (with my water polo highlights, of course), and pictures of Tim McGraw. After college I discovered Martha Stewart Living and Real Simple magazines and my bulletin boards turned to binders full of recipes, paint colors, and decorating ideas. More recently, I've learned to bookmark sites, or just email the links to myself and keep them in different folders in my Gmail.

Not any more, thanks to Pinterest.

There, I can keep folders with images labeled:

Decorative

(For decorating ideas, duh)

Creative

(For things I want to make)

Festive

(Party ideas)

Stylish

(I need style help, desperately)

and, Edible

(Easiest meal planning EVER)

You can "follow" other users and stuff they've pinned will show up on your Pinterest home page, or you can just follow certain boards. Or don't follow anyone and just do your own thing.

For me, Pinterest is full of inspiration, an awesomely organized and efficient way for me to store things I want to remember or refer back to, and just a lot of fun! Check it out, but it's invitation-only, so if you want to join, let me know and I'll invite you.

Are you already on Pinterest? What do you think? And let me know so I can follow you!
