To Pinterest or Not to Pinterest

I have been afraid to even look at Pinterest. And in case you don't know about Pinterest this is what Wikipedia says about it:
Pinterest (Pin-tũr-ĕst) is a vision board-styled social photo sharing website and app where users can create and manage theme-based image collections. The mission statement of Pinterest is to connect everyone in the world through shared tastes and the “things” they find interesting.
I was afraid it would suck me in like a giant black hole and I would never leave my computer. A little bit dramatic? Maybe. However, I finally gave in to the curiosity and got set up. It is really, really cool! There are SO many ideas out there. I do have to watch my time on there. I could just keep looking and looking and looking.... But so far it hasn't taken over my life. Hehehe. I'm still just learning how it all works. I also haven't tried any of the fun things that I have found. I will have to do a post when I finally try something. I think I am most excited to try a crafty thing first. So, have you discovered Pinterest? Have you tried any of the ideas on there yet?

Oh yes, Pinterest is neat!!! It did suck me in for a while, but you know I haven't been on there in probably 2 weeks now. I think it's one of those things, you go through times where you can spend hours on it, then go a long time without it. If you are looking for ideas though, it's a GREAT place. I love it.

I am totally sucked in. I have made tons of crafts with the kids and lots of recipes too. I cannot wait until we go home and we can actually do the bigger projects that we have pinned.
