Yes, it\u2019s true, I\u2019ve gotten myself a Pinterest <\/a>account. I\u2019ve even gotten on Facebook. Who knew I\u2019d get all into the social networking scene?<\/p>\n

\u00a0I actually got a personal Facebook page first, just to keep in touch with all the kids and rellies too. And you know these days I\u2019m remembering Birthdays for people whose birthdays I never even knew before. So that\u2019s nice. They all get one of my collage birthday cards. And I get to see all the nieces and nephews too and what they are up to.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Then just a little while ago I started a Facebook page for Summerhouseart.com<\/a>. I\u2019m a bit slow, it took me ages to set up, but it means I can say when I\u2019ve got a new blog post up and also spread the word on a lot of other sites I really like and support. All about art, recycling and mosaics of course. So if you\u2019re on Facebook, please feel free to pop over.<\/p>\n

In the last year or so on the blog I started to notice something new called Pinterest. People were Pinning my mosaics! I\u2019d see their Pinterest boards from my stats page. And I thought Wow what a great idea!<\/p>\n

\u00a0I mean I\u2019ve got a list of bookmark folders down the left side of my Bookmarks screen that goes on for ages. But the thing is, I can never remember exactly why I bookmarked them or what they are about or look like. So, hey, here comes Pinterest and now I can bookmark with Pictures!! Perfecto!<\/p>\n

\u00a0So for those of you who have been pinning my mosaics, please please accept a huge thank you from me. It\u2019s been great to see how many times my mosaics have been pinned and I really appreciate how it\u2019s brought even more people to see my little blog.<\/p>\n

\u00a0So it took me a while to get onto Pinterest too. For that I went to the library (big fan of the library I am) and got one of those Dummies books and found out all about it more or less.<\/p>\n

\u00a0And one thing the book tells you to do and that I\u2019m slowing getting done, is watermarking my images. Because one thing that I\u2019m finding out on Pinterest is that sometimes you just can\u2019t get back to the source of the image you like. Don\u2019t you hate it when that happens? So, at least for mine, you\u2019ll always be able to find where mine come from, at least the one\u2019s that are fresh ones.<\/p>\n

\u00a0And now I\u2019m on Pinterest just pinning away. I\u2019ve been going through all my old bookmarks and pinning all that good stuff I\u2019ve been saving for ages. \u00a0It’s taking a bit of time and I’ve got lots left. Plus I\u2019ve been finding so much new good stuff to pin on other Pinterest boards too. I think I\u2019m getting hooked on it.<\/p>\n

\u00a0So please have a look at all the stuff I\u2019ve been pinning. You might like some of them yourself. You\u2019ll find a badge on the right side of the blog. And again, thanks so much for pinning from my blog. As they say at Pinterest, Happy Pinning.<\/p>\n
