A Few Thoughts About Pinterest

Have you discovered Pinterest?

I love pictures, always have. Albums, shoeboxes, and 22,000 on my laptop. . . pictures on my walls, making pictures, taking pictures, and now looking at pictures.

Pinterest is pictures.

It is also words, and some of those words really gobsmack me upside the head. (Gobsmack is the same sort of word as “gadzooks”, in case you were wondering.)

I have picture boards on Pinterest of these categories:

  1. Mineral King
  2. Blue Makes Me Happy
  3. Knitting and Yarn
  4. My Favorite Bridge
  5. Adirondack Chairs
  6. Pencil
  7. Other People’s Fantastic Art
  8. Photos I Wish I Had Taken (because I wish I was there to see it in person)
  9. My Best Oil Paintings
  10. Sequoia Trees
  11. Cool Stuff
  12. Words of Truth
  13. Rooms
  14. Houses (oh don’t you just love Craftsman Style architecture??)
  15. Beach
  16. Rural
  17. Naturally Beautiful
  18. Books

If you’ve followed this blog for awhile, none of those categories probably surprise you (except maybe Rooms, Cool Stuff or Houses, because I don’t address those topics here).

Recently I learned how to make one of those things that has nice looking words with photos that I often see on Pinterest. I’ve included a few on this post. I sure wish the comments worked, because i’d love to know your view of Pinterest, if you are on it, why you like it, what categories float your boat, and anything else you’d care to tell me about it.

(The answer to this question is NO! I WANT TO BE PAINTING BUT IT IS TOO DARK TO SEE TODAY AND THE POWER KEEPS GOING OUT!)

Lots of people use it to market their work. Can’t say I really know how to do that or want to spend my time being sellsy about it. Besides, I WANT TO PAINT!!

If I could get the comments to work, I would probably be able to get the Pin It button to work on this blog again. Sure wish I had more control over this blog. . .
