I am totally addicted to Pinterest. I go there and see great things I want, amazing projects I want to try, creative people I admire. Do you have a Pinterest pin you'd like to share?
Here's one I'll post. It's little tips and tricks to make life easier. I'll have to try some of these. Scroll down.

Eveything you always wanted to do.. so cute. but wont.. :down: Well, maybe.. fun chicky site fer sure.
I love Pinterest! It's a great source of ideas. I know a lot of people pin things they'll never use, and that's totally fine--it helps the site work better, actually--but craft- or decor-wise, most of the things I pin are ideas I actually use (or consciously decide not to). Not directly, necessarily, but I'm always making up my own projects from ideas I get there. That is, I apply techniques I learn there to my own applications. Like recently, I did some glass etching on a wine bottle, creating a "label" with our last initial on it (and cool "torn" edges I made by ripping painter's tape in half the long way and using them as etching stencils), then I painted it, but not on the outside like you see all over Pinterest; I mixed up a custom color with hobby acrylics and a little water and rolled it around the inside to coat it. Turned out very cool ... except I did learn that etching on colored glass creates a really subtle effect, more subtle than I wanted. Anyway, the parts about that I got from Pinterest were: 1) how to do glass etching in general, and 2) wine bottles + paint = cool. The masking tape thing was just an experiment I thought of midway through the project.
I just got another really cool idea ... hmm ... :biggrin2:
I love creating things! And I love Pinterest!!
I have done so many projects from Pinterest inspiration, it's crazy. I love that place.
That reminds me of a site we use called LifeHacker dot com.
Pinterest is *kinda* like Lifehacker. But more image focused, less texty; more crafty/cooky/home decorey, less geeky; more estrogeny, less testosteroney. (I love Lifehacker too.)Quote:

Life Hacker is an actual site? Thing? Entity? I thought it was a joke meaning "you have no life and Pinterest becomes your life" sort of joke. Your life is hacked into by frivolous internet places.
Am I saying that right?
My daughter spends hours on pinterest...she loves it!! We made some delicious chocolate caramel cookies that she got from this site. They were awesome, great site.
