I don’t know about you, but when things get to be a little to much, the to do list gets toooo big, or there is just plain something I don’t feel like doing, I turn to Pinterest for a few minutes reprieve.
When the creative streak hits me, and there is nothing I can do about it, there is always Pinterest. I know that it’s not creating, but dreaming and imagining are just as important in the process as actually making something. And Pinterest allows me the space to do this.
Searching on Pinterest for me is like going to a huge craft store, home supply store, or maybe even a giant kitchen supply store. It brings back the enthusiasm, it sparks some sort of creativity in my mind, and that makes me feel good. So what if I don’t make something new each and every day, I dream, I plan, I imagine, and those parts of my brain need to be exercised also.
The curtains need to be hung, the paint color needs to be chosen for the kitchen, where do I put the new rug that we just got? In fact how do I clean the paint from the sink left by the last people. What’s for dinner tonight? I turn to Pinterest for a little inspiration, and most of the time it works.
We all need a place to dream sometimes. Through Pinterest I am planning my garden layout for the back yard, dreaming of new details to add to my house, and finding creative ways to organize that I had never thought about before. So they can say what they want about Pinterest being a time sucker, for me it’s a huge creative outlet, one that repays back more then the time spent. Now if you will excuse me, I have some pinning to do.
