I love housey things, I’m big on decor and renovation inspiration. Pinterest is fabulous!
Good timing Chantelle!! Ive just jumped on board! x
Yes, i’m on Pinterest and I just love good recipes and gadgets…
I am on Pinterest and I love it. Especially quotes and breathtaking photos. It´s just so much fun! I figured it out myself back than but thanks for sharing. Can you do a “Twitter for dummies” tutorial as well?! I might need that. Does hashtags are getting the best of me! 🙂
Will do Martie. x
Food porn, craft and humour get me in. Even DH has a look sometimes 🙂
I’m on Pinterest! I’m http://pinterest.com/alimages/ I don’t spend a lot of time on it. I use it mostly to pin outfit ideas, photography ideas and house ideas so that I can go back and look at my own boards. I use my boards to focus on things I really want or want to do or wear. That way I’m not wasting money or time on impulse buying.
I check out the “Find out who has pinned things from your site” all the time, it’s interesting to see! I love pinning recipes, quotes and photography. http://pinterest.com/koehmstedt/
Yes, I am an avid rabid pinner!!!! The first thing I do when checking out a new blog that I like is follow them on Pintrest! So of course I am already following you – follow me back at: http://pinterest.com/looneybin013/
Love Pinterest! It’s my go to place for smiles and inspiration 🙂
I love Pinterest. It’s like my visual notepad. I always click through to make sure I pin from the direct source, because I often use it to link back to tutorials or recipes so I prefer to actually click straight through to what I enjoyed reading and want to refer back to on a blog.
One thing about Pinterest is though, that I wish they would have a feed that is from your own boards and then one that is from the people you follow. I find it really confusing to see other pins in amongst pins that I have pinned and it’s a complete visual overload that I can’t handle! As a consequence, I unfollowed everyone and I pin from blogs direct. I follow your blog and not your boards for that reason. I don’t know if anyone else feels the same way as me?
I love travel, family and inspirational 🙂
I signed up on Pinterest a couple months ago, but have yet to learn how to use it! So this post is perfect for me, maybe now I’ll make time to actually get to know how it all works and start pinning! Thank you! 🙂
Can you see who has pinned things from your site even if you’re not on Pinterest? I’d like to know (besides the few who click through, usually to images that aren’t mine but that I have credited on my blog), but I don’t think I should have to join Pinterest to do that.
Thanks, but that’s my problem. I don’t have Pinterest account (and right now, I don’t want one; maybe later), so it asks me to log in before it will let me see that page. Any ideas?
I think you need to create a Pinterest account if you want to see them, unfortunately. I don’t work for Pinterest – so I can’t really help sorry!

Yep. Here’s the pins from your site: http://pinterest.com/source/lindsayloves.com/
