Well, I’ve gone and done it. Even though I said I wouldn’t.
I’ve fallen down the Pinterest hole and I can’t get out.
I’m really new. But I’m in love.
It’s basically an online bulletin board…you can search for subjects like ‘recycled magazines’ and find the most fabulous ideas! For awhile, I just searched, but I went ahead and started my own boards and I’m a “pinning” fool:
I’ve already found so many fabulous ideas for Mercy House products and fair trade shows we’re starting to do, so it’s a good addiction right??
Like this amazing paper bowl:
Did you know the shape was created by blowing up a balloon and once the pieces were glued into place and dry, the balloon is popped. Our girls are trying to make them this week!
Do you pin? tell me your address in the comments and I’ll follow back!

I’m really digging pinterest. Fun to be able to share images. Especially such neato things – and math things!
Thanks!

I love Pinterest, but so far have remained pretty discipline…I pin in spurts 🙂
http://pinterest.com/2krazybeautiful
LOVE that bowl!!!
I pin in spurts, too. But find it easy to spend too much time on those spurts. 😉
http://pinterest.com/littlepinkhouse/
yeah! so glad you’re liking it! i actually saw that bowl on there and thought of you guys =) i also got some fun super simple but cute earrings that are made out of the magazines. so fun =)
Pinterest is SO addictive!!! lol

um ya, i also fell into the pintrest hole of no return. i want to know if i can somehow use it to increase blog traffic? if you have figured that out post it for all to read :0)
I think you can pin things from your blog which will link it back to the blog, wouldn’t it? Haven’t tried it yet as I don’t know that I have anything Pinterest worthy (aka, ubercool) to link! 🙂 Alot of the stuff I link to takes you to websites and blogs and I’ve found some really cool new ones!
I get a lot of traffic from Pinterest, it is why I eventually signed up, I had to see what it was all about!!! Not so much what I do but what others have pinned from my site… one pin and then heaps of people repin it and the traffic flows… Once they come and look at a crafty tutorial they find another and another. Really it has been a great source of traffic lately and the best part is I haven’t had to do anything!!!
That has been my experience too! I saw traffic from it and had to check it out! I haven’t tried it yet…you need to be invited or something? I’m still learning! Haha! 🙂
Also, I see blogs with little “Pin It” buttons…oh my! the possibilities!
Haha! It is quite a hole! http://pinterest.com/lindsayme/
I love finding weekend craft ideas for the kids! that’s my excuse, although my husband doesn’t understand my love!
Hi Kristen,
I feel like I haven’t really figured Pinterest out, but I also feel like I have a hole in my head from which all the good ideas I intend to remember drain out. So the concept of keeping those ideas somewhere I can actually find them is amazing!
http://pinterest.com/ukognet/
Pinterest looks fun! Now I’m just hanging out on the waiting list, hoping for an invite from them.
I’m glad you love it! It’s really given me a new energy for creativity and play with my kids!

I just succumbed too!

The bowl looks AMAZING!!! We have to so try this too.. wow!!!
I am on pinterest – redtedart need to start using it more, me thinks!
Maggy
Love the bowl idea, so clever! I LOVE Pinterest. In fact, I can’t recall what I used to waste my time doing on the internet before I started pinning, I’m obsessed.

I love pinterest… it is 30 minute wind down before bed reward for a day well-done… or not well done!!! But my 30 minute reward anyway!!! http://pinterest.com/se7en_hoods/
Between Pinterest and StumbleUpon I could spend all day just surfing.
http://pinterest.com/kara_nutt/pins/
I love to combine the two and add new things to pinterest. If you haven’t tried StumbleUpon, it brings up websites you might never have found otherwise based on your interests. I’ve found some pretty cool stuff on there.
Anyway, Happy pinning.
Kara
Thanks for the opportunity to link up! But…can you delete #113? I saw Name and entered my name. Duhhhh….
I have not tried pinterest yet. Resisting. I really don’t need another thing to spend time with online. And yet it’s so very, very tempting.
Anyhoo, I linked up a recipe for sweetened condensed milk substitute. I love finding ways to not buy overpriced cans.
I love pinterest… a great way to keep track of creative ideas!
Love it! Why didn’t I think of it????
http://pinterest.com/bonnig/
I enjoy Pinterest, but my 12-year-old daughter LOVES it! I only let her browse the boards I follow, though, since people do pin some inappropriate things. So I am beyond thrilled to be able to follow you, as I know she’ll only come across good things on your boards!
http://pinterest.com/2KidSchoolhouse/
Heck yes I pin! I so love it, and I actually follow through with making some recipes or DIY projects, etc. that I pin. At first I thought it was overwhelming, but I’m fairly selective about what I pin. Every Wednesday on my blog, I post my Pinterest Favorites, today’s is about Fall Decoration. I’m headed to Michael’s this weekend to get some items to make some fall decor. Sometimes, I just need a little inspiration and direction, and Pinterest helps me with that. I have that “slap my forehead and say, ‘Why didn’t I think of that'” moment a lot when browsing Pinterest!

I haven’t been looking at Pinterest much lately, but I think I’m going to start again!
http://pinterest.com/mahyleona/
I LOVE Pinterest! Unfortunately, it’s sucks up way too much free time if not careful and my bookmarks got to be WAY too big!
I thought of you when I saw that bowl on there yesterday.
I am completely in love with Pinterest! Such a wonderful resource and organizing tool!! I’m on there at pinterest.com/amberwiggins. Love all the great stuff you’re finding for Mercy House!
Ooh, I love pinterest! It’s funny because just by pinning something, I no longer feel like I need to go out and buy it…so that’s a good thing right?? haha. I’ve gotten some great ideas for my daughter’s birthday party too. http://pinterest.com/dboso/
Ok, just found a great new bunch of boards to follow from your commenters! 🙂
I too was “never” going to join Pinterest. Well, never say never… I’ve enjoyed my first few weeks of pinning!

I love having the bulleting board available to me anywhere (and no dusting! or digging pushpins out from behind the desk!) Works for me!
SO addicted! LOVE Pinterest!

Love your pins! I’ve been on Pinterest for some time now.. back when it was a wee little thing.. (ha!) and I STILL love it! The iphone app is great too, I find so many things to pin just by browsing while I’m waiting on little things here and there! I’m following you now!

I’m fairly new to Pinterest. Just after I joined, we had horrible rains and flooding and I’ve been soo busy helping people clean up and schooling my kids, I haven’t had alot of time to do pinning….but, here is mine: http://pinterest.com/hisgal2
I might be addicted to pinterest!

I’ve posted a recipe for Boston Baked Beans. It’s easy, economical, and uses only real foods!! Thank-you for letting me participate!
I am on Pinterest however I tend to only pin on the slower days of life and in spurts. My biggest dilemma is how do people find all the cool stuff to pin? I do google searches but that takes up a lot of time to weed through things. I do find some things on blogs here and there but I mostly follow inspirational blogs.
Anyways – I love having a spot for my dreams and wishes. 🙂 http://www.pinterest.com/DionnaSanchez

Can you link to the bowl? I can’t find it and I <3 it!!
http://pinterest.com/rosebakes/
I pulled the picture off of pinterest to send to Kenya, but when I went back while I was writing the post, I spent WAY too much time trying to find it again to credit it. Seriously COULD NOT find it. . . it must have been pulled or something. Decided it was too pretty not to share 🙂
I’m horribly horribly addicted to pinterest! Check out my pins (I have way too many) at http://www.pinterest.com/garzaka

Don’t know if you got my post on your Facebook wall, either, but I mentioned you in the Faithful Bloggers podcast our blog was featured on a couple of weeks ago. I’m a new follower of your blog, but I really admire what you do through your blog and had to mention it during the interview. 🙂

Hi
I was wondering if there is a specific link that has the info on how you make these paper bowls. Like how they cut and fold the paper, what kinds of paper, ect. I really want to make some of these.
Thanks
Judy
I really like what you guys are usually up too.
This kind of clever work and coverage! Keep up the good works guys I’ve incorporated you guys to my personal blogroll.

Hi everyone, it’s my first pay a quick visit at this web site, and paragraph is really fruitful in
support of me, keep up posting these types of
articles or reviews.
Hello excellent blog! Does running a blog such as this take a great deal of
work? I’ve very little understanding of computer programming but I had
been hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyways, should you have any recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off subject but I simply needed to ask.
Thank you!

What i do not realize is in reality how you’re now not really much more neatly-favored than you
might be right now. You’re very intelligent.
You already know thus considerably with regards to this subject, produced me in my opinion consider it from numerous varied angles.
Its like men and women are not interested until it’s something to
accomplish with Woman gaga! Your own stuffs outstanding.
At all times maintain it up!
