You are what you pin

Doesn't it seem like "Pinterest" is the ultimate buzz word these days?

I loved this little excerpt from an article my husband recently shared with me:

"Back when I was young, my cousins would cut out photos, ads and visuals from fashion & lifestyle magazines and create collages. We would buy used magazines for a few pennies to get the right image. We would put the clippings together and then stick them on the bedroom walls and feel very cool because being able to create an awesome, colorful collage showed a little something about you."
Isn't Pinterest just doing the same for all of us but without all the glue and magazine shreds?
And does it make you feel old that you actually remember making collages?
I think I still have some stashed away some where.
And as to Pinterest, I'm marking my one year anniversary and approaching 4,000 pins.
I think it is safe to say I'm addicted. You can follow me here

p.s. Instragram is my second obsession

  6. I love this post! I have fond very memories and some funny photos of my "wall collages" and now I am obsessed with Pinterest! It is very helpful when sourcing photos and finding inspiration and saves so much time!

  7. I have a picture from my freshman year dorm room at college with one of those collages on the wall (I think it had to do with my HS boyfriend. Ha). I love pinterest. It helps me keep so organized. I really wish they would let you have some private boards though - I don't think the world cares about what toilets I am picking out for my new bathroom. Or maybe they do? :)

  8. I LOVE pinterest! I spend a lot of time on it and I can't say it's a waste of time because I get such great ideas and inspiration! In so many areas, too, which is great.

    It's funny, though - no one I have mentioned it to has heard of it! I guess I don't know very cool people ;)
