Pinterest

When I first discovered Pinterest I was so excited.  What a perfect place to keep all of the wonderful ideas I see online.  Food ideas and recipes, craft / sewing ideas... love this.  I started pinning everything I thought was cool, cute, etc. Next thing I knew I had hundreds of things pinned and was way out of control. So I had to take a look at all of my pins and ask myself "are you really going to make that, or try that, or do that".  So needless to say, I got rid of a lot of pins.  Now the next thing that I will be doing is to actually doing, trying or making some of the items and if it was good or useful, or even bad,  then I will make my comments and either keep the pin or delete it. I will be sharing my feeling about it. That doesn't mean that someone else wouldn't like it ... it will just be my opinion.  If you think that you might have any suggestions on anything that I write about, by all means, feel free to comment on it. With that said I will post my first item I just tried.

This was fantastic.
