A virtual inspiration board…
Eyecandy wherever you look….
I’m hooked on Pinterest!
You probably have heard about it so many times,
but for the people who don’t know what it is, take a look here.

So where is my brand new-oh-so-pretty-and-inspiring-pinterest board, you might think?
Well, believe it or not,
I’m on their waiting list…
Waiting is not something I’m good at…
And looking at other people’s pinboards is not helping,
it only makes me want to have one for myself even more.

Have a stroll around Brenda’s pinboard,
or what’s on Sarah’s board…
It’s Inspiration with a capital I.
So when I put my name down, requesting an invitation,
I expected to get an email saying something like:

Yeah Pinterest must be addictive. I think I could waste a lot of time there. They are clever with their invitations and making you wait, thereby making it exclusive and much longed-for. Very smart people.
I hope you get your invitation SOON and can put lovely images here for us.
Patience darling! I am on Pinterest, but I don’t know how to use it! You hurry up,I’ll put a good word in with Ben and you can show me how to work it! Tee hee! Love your image,its so simple and so gorgeous,love Linda x
My dear, you MUST start pinning. I sent you an invitation, hopefully you will be up and pinning very soon!
It is an amazing idea, isn’t it?

I’m so out of the loop at the moment. No Idea what Pinterest is, so I’ll go check out. Hope you are well Maureen. Sorry I’ve not been around lately. crazy times here in NJ! Lx
Oh, Sweetie, I’ve been pinning for ages now and have moved all my photos there from We ♥ it and Vi.suali.ze.us. You can find me at http://pinterest.com/jane1970/.
I’ve just sent invitations to you and Laura – hopefully that might bump you up the list!

Hello Maureen
I have never heard of Pintarest, though, I do lead a very sheltered life. Anyway, I love your picture of shells and white china.

Hi Maureen, I’ve heard several other bloggers rave about Pinterest. I spend 8 hours a day on the computer at work and then come home to blog a bit so that’s about all the computer time I can handle. I still like going through magazines, cutting out lovely pictures and pasting them inspiration. Paper, scissors and glue are such simple and lovely things at times.
Happy day to you, Tammy
It’s bedtime and I see I have mistakes above. :/ Ugh! Goodnite!
Dear Maureen, I love pinterest!
Wish you a wonderful week,
Big Hugs,
Yvonne
Absolutely looooove it! Pinterest is si inspiring!
