Pinterest: Craftsman Junky

A Pinterest Achievement, of a sort: 50,000 followers!

I originally joined pinterest in November 2011 (thank you Ashley for the invite) to keep track of all the neat websites I found in the course of researching our renovation. Then I got very addicted and spent way too many hours finding new Craftsman/Bungalow related links. (I totally lost December 2011.)

I have now, in the last year, achieved a reasonable balance. I allow myself to play in Pinterest at night when we're in front of the TV. I mostly stay away from pinterest during the day, unless I'm pinning websites with information for the project(s) we're currently working on.

I have certainly seen folks with lots more followers—I saw someone with 4 million once—but I'm content to play in my little bungalow and craftsman niche. I'm still surprised I have as many followers as I do.

  1. I don't allow myself to go on Pinterest. I know I would become too addicted and not even do 3/4 of the crafts/ideas that I pinned to begin with. LOL! ;)

  6. I don't have anywhere near that many followers but I look forward to whatever you pin each day - your pins especially save me a lot of time doing research myself so, THANK YOU!
