Pinterest is all the rage. If you still don’t know what Pinterest is, good. Stay away for your own sake. There’s an app, people so you can pin anywhere, anytime and it’s as addicting as crack. I am not exaggerating. Not that I’ve ever tried crack.
It has become one of my favorite ways to waste precious time pastimes.
I have gobs of fun finding new things to pin, repinning others, attempting to make, bake, cook or create things I’ve pinned and of course poking fun at the whole damn pin thing.
With 41 boards, almost 3500 pins and over 500 Pinterest followers, I pin a lot!
I pin stuff I like to look at, products I want to check out, words and photographs that inspire, comfort or make me giggle, ideas for arts and crafts and other activities to do with Lucas, clothing I wish was in my closet, places I hope to see someday, celebrity crushes (both male and female) and an ever growing wish list. The Internet is your oyster!
These are my five recent pins as of Wednesday, February 1, 4:27 PM. NO JUDGING!
I have no idea how to credit this pin… I found it on my friend Rachel’s board, Wine Humor, repinned it to my board, Cheers and followed it back six pinners deep and still found no original link.
Who knows how many times it has been pinned? I’m guessing a lot because it’s hilarious. My point is, this is a big no-no in pinning! Always give proper credit to pins is the #1 rule of pinning!
Rule #2 Never pin when you’re hungry. It’s just stupid. I am SO making these!
OMG, YUM! Click photo for source.
Rule #3 Just because you haven’t been out of the country in years, doesn’t mean you won’t again someday. A girl can always dream. Can’t she? And make sure her Passport is valid.

Rule #4 A Wish List is just that! It doesn’t mean you’re going to rush out and buy whatever you’ve pinned, but one of your many kind followers could. Just sayin’!
I heart DMB and must have these! Click on photo for source.
Rule #5 It’s my time to waste. As long as there’s a carton of milk in the fridge, the laundry is done, everyone else in the house is asleep and I have absolutely nothing better to do. So there.
The Ryan Gosling "Hey Girl" series cracks me up! Click photo for source.

The RG hey girl pictures are hilarious. And of course you need those DMB glasses.
Don’t I though?
I’m welcoming a new decade this year too (hint hint!!).
Love it! Hadn’t seen the Ryan-pitter-pat-Gosling series! So funny. Pinterest is as awesome and addictive as you say. Sigh….
There is just too much good stuff! Glad I’m not alone in my passion.
I puffy heart Dave.
But you knew that. xoxo
Pinterest is my other lover. 😉
I have a whole board devoted to all things Dave. But I bet you already knew that. 🙂
I have a deep, deep love for Pinterest! Thanks for linking to my awesomeness!!!! 🙂
It’s crazy fun!
You are a good pinner.
I will probably be the only one that comments, but I have not a single clue what Pins are, where to get them or how to work them. I know I’m like busy doing…umm stuff like staring at the ceiling saying “I don’t know what pins are” haha
Well, heed the warning… stay away. It is the worst best time sucker on the planet.
I seriously described Pinterest to a friend of mine as the exact same thing… CRACK! It is SUPER addicting.
I love this pin: http://pinterest.com/pin/232005818273359718/ It’s pretty much self explanatory!
Awesome post. Love the vacay spot!
Love it, pinned it, shared it on Twitter. Thank you!
I’m following all your boards now, by the way.
I do love Pinterest, but consider myself a total newbie. How in the heck do you give credit to pins? I would hate to be breaking the rules already.
Just try to make sure you pin them or click on the photo to see where it originated from. Sometimes it’s impossible.
I’m having an affair with Pinterest. I love it!
You and me both, sister!
I have been going through (very slooowly) trying to organize and make sure all pins are credited! I love Pinterest too. It is so fun to look at all the pretty things, or funny things or good to eat things!
Well put, my friend. Good things are good!
Hee! Love your pins, girl! 🙂
I’m addicted and I am not ashamaed.
Im totally with you. I adore Pinterest and even my husband comments that it makes me a little happier. So, now I give myself 10 minute breaks here and there to hit explore on my phone and get away. I want to follow your obsession and will find you! Or you could just send me your page to @briitanyvandy
That is a great plan and I would venture to say that Pinterest makes me a happier person too. 🙂
By the way, I am following all of your boards now!
This was great! I have only been on a few times because I am afraid I may never get back up from my computer. The possibilities are endless as to what you can find on there and it is always fun to dream and wish.
Exacly! Hence the crack connection.
Like I’d know.
It looks fun but I am just not sure I have time to donate to it. My niece turned me onto it this summer but…
I KNOW I don’t have the time, but some how late late at night when I should be sleeping, I reach for my phone and BAM! There I go getting sucked in again.
I’m totally a pinner. Especially for the dream home, a mud room with built ins make me drool.
Pinterest is all about big dreams!
Here’s hoping some of them become a reality for us both!
I just signed up, because whenever I have a blog post that gets pinned, traffic goes CRAZY over at my place. So now, I’m trying to figure out what things are.
How does one avoid pinning while hungry, when that one is perpetually hungry?
Interesting. You aren’t the first to tell me this. I don’t have the Pin It button on my blog posts, but I’m guessing I should add it, huh?
Aaaah, you know me and how I get with Pinterest!!
You my friend have been posting a ton of deliciousness! Where do you find them all? Keep it up please.
I just finally drank the koolaid! It’s an insomniac’s dream!!! For seriously!!! ( and yes, I meant to say that) I’m going to join the throngs of lovahs that flock to your pins. You must pin with awesomeness!! SO happy at Mama Kats timing of this link up so I could find all this extra amazingness!!!
Exactly! After midnight is when I do my best pinning. 🙂
Great pins…love them! Especially the “I don;t get drunk, I get awesome” I am soooo using that!
🙂
That’s my favorite of the bunch up there and for me, SO true!
I still haven’t gotten on the Pinterest train. I have joined but haven’t pinned anything b/c I just can’t find the time. The site is blocked at work so that leaves home (or my phone when I get up from my desk since there’s no cell service unless I go downstairs or outside where there are windows and not suffocating recirulcating sick air. Sorry). And I know me. I know I’ll start and be unable to stop. It’s better this way. Really.
I’m a very proud Pinner too!!! And I’m proud to say that I’ve actually tried some of the crafty ideas or printed some printable items. YAY!
The Ryan Gosling photos are my favorite!! Dreamy!!
Fabulous stuff! I just gave in to Pinterest last night. I’m not sure I really “get” it just yet… but I do like the funny ones. And I made a “places I’ve been” board because my travels make up 90% of my happiest moments. Thank goodness we have a kid who travels well!
I have to be careful to not want everything I see on Pinterest but, I love how it organizes things visually!
I am really trying my hardest not to break down and sign up! I just really do not need another distraction!! It does seem pretty cool…. 🙂
Yeah, I’m kind of into Pinterest right now, too…just need more time in the day to waste, ahem, utilize on pinning!
I have an on again-off again relationship with pinterest. If I am looking for something (like this week it was Valentine ideas for the kiddo and a sweet treat to bring to a playdate), I will get sucked in pinning and oogling after I find what I was looking for.
Otherwise? My account just sits there.
I’ve never been a big internet surfer, but browsing through pinterest makes it pretty damn easy…and time consuming!
Awesome. I love seeing your pins.
I recently started a virtual travel board and I salivate every time I come across a place I want to go.
