Pinterest

Okay, I keep seeing all of the great ideas others are getting from Pinterest and know it would be totally up my alley, but I am hesitant to jump into another online distraction tool!

So, tell me about your use. How obsessed do we really think I would get? If anyone wants to seal the deal and send me an invite my email address is sarbul81 at yahoo dot com.

Re: Pinterest

  • It's pretty addicting, but I've also been spending a lot of time on the computer lately just trying to kill time before the baby is here. I don't see it as a website I need to go to daily to check out updates or anything like that (not like with The Nest/Bump or Facebok).  I'll send you an invite through Facebook since I'm not sure how to do the email invites.
  • Thanks! Did you send it already? If so, I didn't get it. I have a lot of things blocked on FB since I don't like getting game requests and stuff, so I wonder if that will make it unable to go through.

    I think if you just go to Pinterest and click on login with Facebook it should work. Let me know if it doesn't. I thought I knew how to do it, but when I clicked "invite" next to your name, nothing happened. So if it doesn't work maybe one of the other ladies can help.

  • I hop on for a few minutes here and there, maybe once a week. At first I would go on a lot more just to get my boards started. I haven't found it terribly distracting though and it is a really fun site! :) 
  • I have an obsessive personality and haven't found Pintrest to be a problem...I use it mostly for keeping track of recipes I find, but I also started a board to keep track of boots I like for when I finally decide to purchase some, and home decor and gift ideas.

    I think I just signed up for an account without an invite...or requested an invite right through the site and they "approved" me or something.  I didn't personally know anyone on it before I joined.

  • I browse it a few times a week. I don't go searching for much, I usually just look at what others have looked at. It gives me just enough neat things to find :)

    Thanks everyone! The FB thing didn't seem to work so I did the request through the website. Then I got an email saying I was on the wait list. Not sure how long that takes. If anyone wants to try to invite me again feel free. No big deal though!

    I sent you an invite Sarah - hopefully it worked (went to your gmail)

  • It works out for me because it's one of few sites not blocked at work, so I pin-binge on the weekends while I'm there and make shopping lists, then can do the crafts and cooking during the week with Riley.

  • Hi, My name is Angel, and I am a Pinterest addict.

    Honestly, if I spent half as much time doing the things I found on pinterest as I do finding them, I'd be a very productive woman! I have found some cute gift ideas, and handmade gifts for my step-mom, best friend and BIL/SILs, and for a couple yankee swaps. And I learned how to make suoer cute bows for Layla's hair:)
