A good friend recently sent me a link to Pinterest.com. I had to wonder if I really needed yet another online account, another place to find or keep inspirational images and links. I’m already swimming in images and ideas, oodles of mental jumping-off points……I mean, really:
- Digital images on my computer (tens of thousands of images)
- Binders stuffed full of clipped images from magazines (an entire bookshelf)
- Flat file with posters, more clippings, and materials (full, I could use another)
- Filing cabinets with articles (four cabinets….at least some of it is bills)
- Online: Flickr, iGoogle, Delicious … (let’s not even go there)
- Bulletin boards with stuff tacked on (not to mention the fridge)
- boxes of paint color fans, fabrics, stone samples….
- and never mind the magazines and books….
But, after spending a couple of hours (admittedly about four) on the site this morning and saving a few dozen photos, I gave-in and e-mailed them for an invitation to join.
Its not like I don’t appreciate more (and more and more) inspiration…..but escaping the computer long enough to eat breakfast would be good, too.
