A New Hobby

I have a new hobby that is a complete waste of time, but so relaxing and fun. It is mindless and creative at the same time. It is Pinterest. It is simply creating a virtual bulletin board of things you like. Just like in a classroom where we have multiple boards to display information/work in themed areas, this virtual board allows for the same thing. I just pick things I am interested in and then search either the Internet or other peoples "pins" and "boards" and put their ideas on mine. It is a great way to enjoy your hobbies and interests without spending a dime! Very Dave Ramsey smart. Just make up a name for something you are interested in and start pinning!

I have chosen topics called:
Tips for Safe Travel- I'm on the lookout for ideas as we are traveling a good deal now and I have found some amazing ideas.
Favorite Gems- I love rubies so I am collecting pretty settings for the precious stones I don't own and never will :)
Moon and Sunset- just great pictures of God's amazing earthly heavens
Doors, Fences, and Gates- Well, I am just fascinated with doors and fences.
Health and Home ideas- home fix-ups and tips for staying healthy
Dachshunds- need I say more!
Crafty Cards- Ideas for card making. This supports my real life hobby of making cards :)
Healthy and Not So Healthy Foods- great recipes I have found
Workout Mentality- Well, if you know me, you know I avoid this
Things to Ponder- just quotes and things that make you pause
Just Too Funny -things I find amusing
His Love and Grace- Spiritual quotes and thinking
Love That Purple- all things purple!
Thimble collections- since I really collect these I took pictures of them and put them on the site as well as looked for others.
Beach Life, Just My Style, Great Hats, Crosses, Dog Houses, Holiday Ideas, Places I've Bee, Dream Destinations and Living Spaces round out the boards.

Feel free to check out the site if you are on Pinterest. It can be completely anonymous. There is no risk like with Facebook. But you can see what your friends and other people are interested in. You look for Katie Pedersen (the picture is of a dachshund yawning-it's Danny) under people. Jay has said I won't get into trouble with this hobby...but still says I cannot have Facebook. I obey my children. Surely that is a commandment.

Needless to say, I am having a wonderful time with my virtual hobby and keeping up with friends and relatives!
