OK...so Pinterest is now my #1 go-to whenever I'm looking for anything -- even more than Google now! I'm not kidding. I find so much on Pinterest that I need that I just to type in the "search" bar what I need and I find so much there!
With 50,000+ followers {and growing} on Pinterest, I can tell you that I feel it is a very powerful media tool for my blog and anyone else who is looking to "get pinned" to promote their work, and at the same time, organize my personal thoughts on just about anything. I now have over 50 boards that are my personal pins and I also pin to about 10 group boards including:
It's been an honor to be a part of these group boards and build relationships with many of the bloggers that are also contributing to the boards.
I thought I'd tell you that after being on Pinterest for nearly two years, I have a few Pinners that I really like what they are pinning and share them with you! These are the ones that I will repin their pins the most! Here are ten of them, I encourage you to follow any of the ones that interest you! {These are in no particular order}.
1. Stephanie of Modern Parents Messy Kids: I like her pins because she has a mixture of organizing, kid stuff, and other fun things!
2. Autumn of Space for Living: She pins great organizing things and simple living pins. I seem to re-pin much of her stuff!
3. Kate of Centsational Girl: If you want beautiful things for your home, this is a great pinner! I love many of her pins and find I repin ideas for my house!
4. Anna of Ask Anna Moseley: If you like cleaning tips and household tips, that's what you get when you follow her. I love finding great all natural cleaning ideas, too! Plus, she's got lots of organizing pins, too! And, of course, I love those!
