It is inevitable that every year in december, almost everyone has the habit of looking back at what they have achieved (or what has gone down swinging). This year, I proudly want to say that I have become a DIY geek, and have loved every minute of it.
This year I learned to make the best dip ever. I learned what the word ganache means and made some finger-licking tarts. I bought my first measuring cups. I learned to master my patience to work with yeast and made these. I learned that Julia Child started cooking when she was 36! I was reminded that if you only do what you know how to do, you will never do very much. I learned about a zillion different ways to wrap a gift. I learned how to sew and how felt and food can come together. I also learned how to sew ruffles (my personal everest).
The best part, is that I learned how to make all of these and other great ideas on Pinterest. Forget youtube tutorials. I'm a pin-a-holic. Ever since I logged on to Pinterest for the first time this past may, I haven't been able to stop pinning. Facebook is no longer my number one procrastination source, now it's Pinterest. In fact, I love it more than Facebook and Twitter combined.
This is what a pin used to mean to me
In a nutshell, Pinterest is a social bookmarking sight, i.e. if you see something you like while browsing, with the click of a button you can save it for future reference and share it with your friends. It's like tumblr and twitter rolled into one, in a very user friendly way. I love that it's so easy to use but what I love the most about Pinterest, is that I have found things to do here, that no amount of googling would have helped me find. The food, the crafting and diy-ing, the style, and the random and awesome... they just make me smile. Did I tell you that I am addicted to love Pinterest?
