What do you think of it?


I do like it, although I haven't had much time to spend it my DH has a LOAD of pins in her wedding folder, so although I've been browsing wedding ideas, I don't like to 'pin' them in case she thinks I'm trying to take over.

I have 3 sets of 8x2 windows that I think would make a good screen - or do I mean windbreak :? If I can figure how to make it into a double sided picture screen. I've picked up some ideas.

My DH joined but he's only interested in geeky stuff :lol:

Abuela....I am now following you ( either Teri or Sundine2)...not sure what I am on there. Yes I got totally sucked into it. I could spend hours on there. I have tried several recipes but so far none are that great. I did find a girl though from Canada that blogs and she is hilarious. She is very irreverent but funny as hell with some of her posts. Check her out. This web site is addictive....not kidding at all.

I only recently heard of Pinterest, maybe a day or so before you posted about it Abuela.
I went there once and ended up spending several hours on the site before I realized I hadn't gotten my laundry folded. Lol!
There is definitely beautiful photography on that site. If anything, it made me want to get a better digital camera. Haha!

Recently learned that if you post pictures to Pinterest,the small print says that you agree to give them permission to sell your photos and they get to pocket the proceeds.

How could they do that if you're posting things from others' websites? They can't sell someone's pictures just because a third party pinned a site that included those pictures! Or does this just apply to pictures that you upload (which I don't do there)? Do you know the exact wording of this small print?

I'm with Jade.

No Pinterest interest. No Facebook(Must be at least 10 or 12 of us out there still). No profiles of any sort.
Heck, I threw away my cell phone.

Other than my work website, I basically don't exist online.
