Thursday Things {I Love} #11 Pinterest! (And An Invite!)

So I have totally jumped aboard the Pinterest bandwagon!

And Im totally loving it! I admit, at first I resisted!

I first heard about pinterest, from Bella, when she sent

me an invite....And I totally declined it. I checked it out first...

but wasnt sure what it was all about. I kind of understood, but

wasnt sure I wanted to get involved on ANOTHER site!

Because all these social networking sites take time and such and 

sometimes I tend to obsess over new things... I didnt want anything taking 

time away from my blogs, FB or Etsy shop (which is having a sale btw)!

But then suddenly it seem to be all anyone was talking about! 

Several other bloggers... then bigger bloggers like Nina of 

Momma Go Round, and Ashley of Little Miss Momma, and 

more recently I saw How Does She started and is actually having

a giveaway for invites to the site!

See if you dont know already, Pinterest is "exclusive" and by invite

ONLY!  Or you can try to sign up and wait to be accepted.

Yeah.. I thought that was weird too.

But I guess that how POPULAR things go right? :)

ANYWAYS... Around the time blogger went crazy I was a little

bored and started getting curious about Pinterest. SO I asked

for someone to send me an invite, on my FB status. Of course my

Sweet friend Bella sent me another, and I joined! And now I 

LOVE it! See I try to be a very organized person. I liked to be able

to find things easy by categorizing everything! 

Just check out my bookmarks!:

Yeah its a LOOOONG list! But check out what it looks like

when I click on one of the tabs:

Another LOOONG list!

So much stuff! Tons of links to sites I love, crafts I want to

try, all kinds of inspirational things... I have them all bookmarked.

I have them all categorized, and in order... but I got to thinking

sometimes it is still hard for me to find a link Im looking for!

Even with all that organization! Now here is why I am 

loving Pinterest.. because for me.. it is JUST like my bookmarks!

Only BETTER! I get to keep things organized and categorized

PLUS I get to pin a PICTURE! So I can easily see and find what

I am looking for.. AND show off, to others who follow me, what I

think is cool, what I like, what Im checking out and all that stuff. :)

So Ive been slowly going through my bookmarks and pinning them

on my Pinterest account, so I can remove them from my bookmarks.

Ive also been pinning a lot of Hello Kitty because Im throwing my

sister's baby shower, and if she has a girl she wants a hello kitty 

theme! If she has a boy it will be a snoopy theme! Im hopeing

for a girl! :) Hello Kitty would be so fun! lol

ANYWAYS... so basically yeah... Im probably one of the LAST

people to join in on the Pinterest fun... But Im just glad I did!

SO I HAD to share! ALSO just in case I am NOT the only one

out there who hasnt joined, lol, I'd like to invite YOU to pinterest!
