Pin Addiction - or would that be Pinterest-itis?





I saw people talking typing about Pinterest and thought it was one of the stupidest silliest things. I couldn't figure out why someone would need it, never mind use it.  Of course, my organization skills are on the pile level - I know what is in each pile and the order of the piles, but it doesn't get much better.  And to think in the 80s I worked as a file clerk.  I think it damaged me for life!

Now I can't stop pinning.  There's so much info out there that I didn't know I wanted to know and reference!  Who knew?!  And then I found this program that downloads ALL YOUR PINS TO THE LINKS!!! - right to your computer.  Woo-hoo!  Can't beat that.  As long as I have my solar charger, I can get all my info without having it all printed out.  (Yay, saving trees!)

I started off with basic boards - health, religion, gardening, hair, prepping, food - the usual girly stuff.  Then I noticed I couldn't find stuff.  I KNEW I read/saw an article, and then couldn't find the thing after pinning.  So I reorganized.  So then I started breaking out my boards when they had good subgroups in them.  Now, I've gotten 139 boards and over 12,000 pins.

So, for the crafters out there, here's a quick list of my crafting boards.
