Pinterest

For those of you who have not already discovered (been sucked into) Pinterest, it is a website that lets you share images, with links to the original sites, that interest you.

One complaint is that no one ever completes any of the projects they "pin". Well, I have. In fact, I completed two. I made some wonderfully rich hand cream and some Rosemary-Mint fabric softener. And I have two more recipes to try. I will let you know how they turn out.

I also have found several ideas for using the boys worn-out jeans and t-shirts they just can't part with. And, if you have a problem, there is probably a solution. I have found several solutions on there. You just need to be willing to alter the original idea to fit your situation.

The second complaint about Pinterest is that it is way too easy to get distracted, waste time, etc. I can't dispute that. Everyone will just have to find their own solution.

Two solutions I have found to help with, not eliminate, this problem are the same ones I use for other "time wasters". I wait until right before bed when I need quiet time. Or, I enjoy it while I am waiting somewhere. It sure makes waiting more enjoyable.
