Ah my new love!
I love Pinterest
! If you are on, come connect with me! I love learning about people from their boards!
It's so fun, I'm also doing a pinning contest for those pinners who pin both Untraceable and Uncontrollable covers on their boards. :)
I also just created a Nature of Grace board with all my images of Mo and Wyn and things in the book. You can follow that board individually. Let me know what you think or send me some images you think should be there!
Pinterest is fun (wait did I say that already?) It's a huge bulletin board and gets rid of those pesky bookmarks on my browser that I hated so much.
Pinterest - what is it?
Pinterest
is the newest social networking site. It is more visual and image based that
Twitter or Facebook used by primarily women at this point.
It encourages you to find and pin
everything dang cute things to your boards. It is kind of a modern way to bookmark stuff
you love or find interesting. On Pinterest I am the best dresser, the best cook, and the wisest person!
Repinning, following, and organizing is fun and
easy. There's that word fun again.
Besides being....fun...you can use it to build a platform.
