It certainly caught my eye, Madeline. I'd love to see it in action one of these days!
ReplyDeleteI am afraid of pin-interest.Too many people I know are getting hooked on the stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou have good reason to be afraid, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThe first day I signed on to Pinterest I was mesmerized and spent five or six hours on the site. For me, it's the visual aspect. It's a change from just words, and I imagine that's why it's so addictive.
I've since weaned myself off it, (as is required of other social media!) and only check in once or twice a day. Anyone can get hooked, but it's still fun. :)
