Any other Pinterest addicts?

I love Pinterest. It's my stress relief. So many great ideas, many of which I've tried, and I continue to try more. I just love it. Anyone else a fan of Pinterest?

I've used it and think it's a pretty cool idea--I just never have time for it!  I rarely log on any more.

I can certainly burn some hours on it!

I don't get it. Guess it's just me, but I don't have the time to sit there and pin stuff. I do look at my niece's food board from time to time, but that's pretty much it.

Yeah it sure can be a black hole of time wasting! I go on once a week or so. There's so much stuff on there, it can be pretty interesting.

It's definitely interesting.  Some of my friends are pretty creative type people and they pin recipes, DIY projects, websites for unique gift, things like that.  I've got some good recipe idea and things like that from my stepdaughter who pins a lot.  But then one friend clogged up her page (and mine) with every photo she's ever taken on every trip she's ever gone on--I guess she thinks they're all brilliant LOL.  

But it can definitely be time-consuming.  I haven't logged on in ages, just don't have time.

I just started Pinteresting a few weeks ago, but already I've tried a bunch of stuff. Mostly recipes, cleaning tips, and organization ideas. So much time and frustration saved because of it.

I've also found a lot of DIY decorating ideas for when I've got more income. Can't wait!

Yes here too. Lot's of cat stuff, and other interest;s. find it addictive. Lot's of fun though. They have really good DIY project's on there as well. Etc etc.

I've been using it the last few months and I love it! I try and find lots of recipes I like or want to try then just pull them up on my smartphone at the store so I can find what I need. I hate carrying paper lists so it's really good to have.

I love the DIY stuff. That's my largest board, I think. Though I have my recipes split by category, and I have far more recipes than anything else.

I haven't thought to use the feature on my smartphone to do shopping. That's a good idea.

Didn't know TCS had a  page!  Well, like you, I'd pretty much forgotten about mine, but since I've caught hubby's cold and am likely to be mostly lying around the next couple of days....I might have to go check out that TCS page!  LOL

  You're welcome? 

I enjoy it greatly.  I have boards for my business, but expanded to have personal boards related to recipes I want to try, and created a board for a friend whose husband has kidney issues - I post recipes there that she might want to try for him.

l just added you @LaraLove  , and wow, you have a ton of boards! Mine is scanty since l haven't been on in so long.

Here's me:

Seems like a huge time waster to me, as do Facebook and Twitter.

I don't considered time enjoyed to be time wasted.

I haven't been Pinteresting that long; however, when I was going through some serious anxiety and depression issues a couple of months or so ago, I would just about shut down. That's when I found Pinterest and it served as a stress relief for me, for whatever reason. I'd sort of get lost in thinking about how I could implement those ideas, excited about trying to recipes, etc. It helped take my mind off the things that were bringing me down. Those same things are what led me to adopt Oliver. I'm doing much better now, though I still do Pinterest a few minutes most days.
