Dreaming of a White Christmas..... & Pinterest :)

It gently snowed all day yesterday ~ 
It gave us a couple inches or so. I'm hoping it hangs on stubbornly because our 10 day forecast is pretty clear with highs in the upper 30's. Hopefully the mountains got dumped on!!


I'm sharing my new obsession with you :) It's a good one I promise!
The name of my new obsession is Pinterest www.pinterest.com  It's an online community version of what I've been doing since I was a senior in high school (1989). It's a wonderful place to get inspiration and ideas on just about any topic!


I took my first interior design class in high school and have been infatuated with it ever since! I started tearing pages out of magazines of things that inspired me. Several years ago I organized those pictures in 3 ring binders. I have one for each room of the house. I slipped the pictures into clear protective sleeves.

Pinterest is the same idea. You can create different boards ~ for example I have a board for each room of my house. As you come across pictures while surfing the web you can pin them to your boards.
Maybe you aren't interested in decorating but maybe you love travel. You can create boards for all the places you've been or want to go.
You have to be invited to join Pinterest. If you are interested let me know ~ I'll invite you :)
You can follow other peoples boards and repin their ideas and pictures to your own boards. It's amazing!! 


Dani will be home soon and we're going to make Scottish Shortbread.  Melt in your mouth Yum :)
