Better Late Than Never to the Pinterest Party…

Some of you know that I’ve been recovering from partial knee surgery. This is my second surgery on the same knee. I must say the recovery has been long and extremely painful. I am still off work, but hope to be back by May. Anyhow...

Having some extra time on my hands, I spent it catching up on my favorite blogs.

Back in February, Author, Dora Hiers, who is part of The Seriously Write Team over at The Seriously Write Blog - caught my attention with her post about Pinterest…Love it or Leave It? - You can read the post HERE. 

Yes, I was one of those who had not joined Pinterest. Working full time and writing the other part of the day, I told myself that I didn’t have time to dip one more toe into social media at the moment.

I had seen it. My daughter had been trying to get me to join for quite some time. I just put the thought on the shelf for the time being.

Then in March, Dora wrote a follow up Pinterest blog post on Seriously Write titled: Pinterest 101 for Writers – read it HERE. She explains many of the facts and uses of Pinterest - So, I joined up.

On my own, I’ve discovered so many ways to use Pinterest, and I’m still learning the ropes. I love it because it’s something I use for myself, and it’s a wonderful way to connect with people who have the same interests. My boards consist of information, period fashion, research, and writing prompts for my historical fiction writing. I also keep boards of some of my favorite places, my style, and what I would love in my garden and jewelry box. There are so many great ideas for almost any need – baby showers, party ideas, crafts, and on and on. I also love keeping a recipe board. Last night I tried one of the recipes that I have pinned and hubby loved it! I feel I have a whole new recipe book.

I know many of you are Pinterest users and know all about it, but if you haven’t joined. I highly recommend it.

I want to thank my daughter for encouraging me to join from the start, and I also want to thank Dora Hiers over at Seriously Write. Thank you, Dora! Your posts helped me get over myself and join Pinterest. It is now something I really enjoy doing – browsing and pinning.

Are you on Pinterest?

What do you enjoy most about it?

If not, why not?

Between you, me and the gatepost,

Loree
