In the past, I was an avid web bookmark-er. I would bookmark anything and everything I wanted to remember, read later, or try out.
I had hundreds of bookmarks on my browser!
BUT, I rarely looked at them a second time. Often I would forget about them and never look at them again later. (with the exception of an occasional recipe)
That is why I fell in love with Pinterest! I could organize and SEE all the things I would have previously just bookmarked and forgotten later. It has been working wonders in my life because I actually do go back on my boards and use the ideas, make the recipes and read articles I didn’t have a chance to read right at that moment. I’ve tried lots of things on my boards already, and so I’ve decided to start a little blog series about it.
Presenting:

I will post about things that I’ve got pinned on my boards that I have tried or ideas I’ve used. Friday, I posted about the Pinterest Recipe Fail and the dried out strawberry mess that I had. Consider that the first post of this series {I just didn’t have a cool button for it yet!} And look forward to many more posts in the future about testing and trying out ideas from Pinterest!
You are so right about the bookmarking thing. I have loads of them - mostly forgotten. D'oh!!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the Pinterest Test Lab series - I will be stsying tuned for future installments.

Hey, that's an awesome idea!! I have had mixed results from pins too, but love being able to organize the things that I want to remember or try. I will stay tuned!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a "test lab" - I should start making a point to test a couple of ideas from my Pinterest boards per week. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I've had some "pinned" recipes or projects totally fail even though I know I followed the instructions properly. I'm excited to see your results.
