Who's hooked? I am! Mostly, it lets me get all kinds of ideas that I never have time to bring to fruition.  :D

I always describe it like this: You know how some people always pull pages out of a magazine to save them for later? This is kinda a place to do that, electronically, and organize them by "pinning" them to different idea boards that you have. For example, I have a board for recipies, hair ideas, clothing ideas, crafts with the kids, holiday crafts, etc. You can make whatever boards you want. You can also follow your friends, to see what they're pinning.

Some people will talking about this @ the Winter Resident Open House @ the Duke last night.  Apparently it's all the rage.
I still don't get it.  I'm so not crafty.   :(

It's not so much about being crafty but kinda using a board with pics of things your interested in or want in your life, kinda like a vision board ( or so I was told by our mutual friend)

HLN was talking about how Pinterest accounts have increased 140% since the start of the year!  WOW!  Lots of crafty folks out there.  Still not me.

Here is a post I read yesterday, by someone who claims to be an attorney, about the legal ramifications of pinterest. http://ddkportraits.com/2012/02/why-i-tearfully-deleted-my-pinterest-inspiration-boards/

It's a great reminder to read the TOU agreement.
