are you obsessed by this new
i am pinning my little behind off...
it's all about making little note boards of your *favourite & best* internet pickies...
i've got mine rolling along very happily here
ticked or not...i love to make a list...
i have one constantly being updated on the blackboard in my kitchen...
another in a notebook by my bed...
& many on the little sweet *notebook* app on my i-phone...
i rarely feel overwhelmed by these lists...
as i said...ticked or not...they are part of my everyday...
our eldest daughter has followed in my footsteps...
she is a form-filler of the greatest kind...a list maker to rival me...
yet she doesn't see the washing pilling up on her bed...
or the empty milk bottle that needs taking to the kitchen...
but i forgive her all this...as i am proud as punch of her list-making skills...
this, for a gal who loves a list, is another wonderful way to instantly record a find...
so often i trawl through one gorgeous blog after another wishing i could remember this image or that, with a real need to *put* them somewhere organised...
pinterest does this for me...
pretty little boards...
a lovely simple layout...
in a nutshell...i am seriously hooked...
yep...i was warned that it would take over those moments i gave to the kiddos...
{thankyou darling tina for the useless warning- you only made it sound more intriguing & perfect!}
the kids are happy to fend for themselves for a while...
a happy mummy is a pinning mummy...!
become a pin interest follower & go create with a cup of tea or a glass of wine & let me follow you back...
but be warned....tina is right...this is a highly addictive, but incredibly lovely, pass time...
maybe make the kiddos some tea first...
just to be on the safe side...
let me know what you think?
is pinterest gonna be your new *visual escape* too?
...if you need an invite to get pinning, let me know...
&
...i'll send you one between baking, sewing & kiddo ferry-ing...
be warned- you are gonna looove it!
xoxox
PS -don't forget it's photo project time tomorrow
*ten on ten*
go *here* for details
...can't wait to see what you've got...

I would love if you sent me an invite. Thank you so much! I've been hearing about pintrest nonstop for weeks now but after seeing your lovely collection I am convinced :) I'm due to have a baby in a few weeks so I've got some time on my hands for now ;)
ReplyDeleteI am already hooked on Pinterest! I love it!
ReplyDeleteoh--yes, as if i needed another place to waste time but you know what? it is all so inspiring that i don't really even feel guilty about it!
ReplyDeleteOh my lord, Melissa!
ReplyDeleteWe are twins or what! I know I haven't been around lately in blogland, and I just posted, and thought, now over to miss M, and what do I see, we have posted about the same topic today, well, I'm not too surprised seeing that pinterest is sooo lovely! But back up a bit...how do you get in?? I'm on their waiting list.... since the 4th, how long does it take?
anyhoo, just read the other 3 posts I had missed, and I love your french cushions! (but you lost me at the part where I had to pay attention how to make the bags...) I haven't tried Stitch again, she is waiting for me, but somehow these days are flying by so fast.
anyway, will have to mail tomorrow about meeting place ok? look forward to it!
well, gotta go, walk mackenzie and then off to bed! (sorry, this is a horribly long comment...see what happens when I don't visit every other day?)
Hugs sweetie, from me to you,
Maureen xx
Oh yes, I am a pinner. And they just came out with their iPhone app too! It's so great to be able to bookmark pictures along with their original source info. Awesome. I'm going to check out your boards now...
ReplyDeleteI am on the "waiting list" to become a pinner.
ReplyDeleteBut yes, I eagerly await the day to waste more time on the internet. ;) I love all the inspirational stuff on there.
Hi Melissa,
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your lovely comments on my recent posts.
To answer your royal wedding street party questions:
We had a beautiful sunny day here too, just perfect. Everyone had a great time, all the Aussie neighbours embraced the traditional English Fayre theme and we had moutains of trifle, sausage rolls, pasties and butterfly cakes. I couldn't find my hair rollers at the last minute, so donned a tweed skirt, brogues, cardi and headscarf, and bunged a giant stuffed dog under my arm for 'Queen at Balmoral'. It was a big day, with the boys finally getting to bed in the early hours. Glad you had a good time too.
I have seen Pinterest and I click a few buttons and I think I am on some of list, but have no idea how that works. I have not seen anything else from them. How does it work?
Hope you are having a great week.
Cold and windy, but beautifully sunny here on the Northern Beaches. Great drying day.

ReplyDeleteOh, Sweetie! You make me laugh. I am addicted, too and have been for months. It's the only place I use now to store photos I find. But you have to get with the lingo and learn to spell it ☺. I'm loving your boards, my friend! J x
